It is - Said that one of thesC• Nova Scotia- currents *tick Commis -sioner Wells, and it . was as POWerful as the vision that converted St. Paul, except - that St: Paul was converted from evil, while the • Commissioner was drawn the 'other way. The anthracite trade was interrupted dur ing the year by a Suspension, which was only intended to last three weeks.," of which due notice had been given in _ order that large ',consumers could lay in a supply, to remove surphis quantity of coal from the*arket; and secure a remuueratiug price for seal and Wages; but itluivingencountel_oppoition • front. the three mining and -transpOrting companies, located in the tipper 'portion of t t he - Wyoming - coal basin; the suspensiop was extended to about six . weeks in tic.•huyi kill County, .and'. two of these three Mining companies reniaitted suspended liboutlliree months, while in the Lehigh region_. the local diffieultiesLencouptered caused a stispe:Usion Of a largeportton of thesevollieriesfor a con siderable portion of the 'season. After the suspension was carried •'nto.eiteetothe Work ingmen's Benevolent As - ociation arranged a basis fixing the averag pricesaf., coal, in cludingthesizeiorLtimp, BrOken; Egg, Stove and Chestnut, at $3 a ton at Fort Carbon i With wage . s at $l4 fOr miner, $l3 for inside labor- - ers, and Sll. fOr outside laboyers per . week, and 5 per Bent. advance on wages for every 25 cents per ton advance. in coal above $3 at Port Carbon, with coutraet work at fixed scales also.' Below these rates tii?..*eice of coal and wages Must Pot fall during the seasOn, or the.trade would'be suspended. It was arranged that the•priee:of coal Was to be tlied•o4 last month's average , sales for the ensuings l month,- obtained froni large pur eliaserSat Philadelphia; hut tli s was after wards changed so as* to fix the 'ages on the 25th of the' 'current month Riraid month'si wages.' In ' the Wilkesbarre. nd Lehigh' regions the basis was fixed .at $5 for coal at • Elirlabethport, with a proportionate advance as coal advanced. In Schuylkill County the operators accepted the basis., and it was ac- .cepted in the Shamokin - region, -and_ also in the lower part of the: Wyoming • basin, and • by some in the. Lehigh region, where tbe greatest however. :oceurred 'among the individual operators and the men. .• When the suspension was announced by the Workingmen's -BeiseV • olent Associatibil, it was understood thatip all the region:, they had acquiesced. in it, gut contrary to expec tation, the melt, or at least a large portion of those employed by the three milling and transporting companies, di d not stop, through the influence of the companies, who, it is alledged , declared that if th ey, wereeoni pelted to stop, they would leave their NOris stand idle daring the whole season .sooner than submit to the basis adopted 1.2; the Workings men's Benevolent Association. - • But finally' the' pres•sure of tge Outsider; became's.° great, (it is alleged by' tit l e companies, that it WaS :through . threats iMale,) that the men em ployed by Iwo . ofsthe companies - stopped, whilisthe other, thePenusslvania Coat Coin: pany, induced their in i en to dontioe work ing, with the promise that they . i i.would Pay , them the . in saewage.4 w that the other compan ies paid hen,they starteitagain. They'car -tied out their promise and kept their men at work.- The other canpanies were.suspended nearly four . inontha, and resumed work by paying the men a higher rate, we learn, than they wore receiving on the basis elsewhere, and continuettto pay higher wages for the balance of the season, but refused to accept . the basis, although. they were, governed in . the rates of wages paid ,by thte basis &inc . i ple. i . The whole history of ,the eoal trade both in this country and in England, provesthat .corporations . and individuals engaged in . 'mining coal ' dannot exist together with the same privileges; one.or the other will soon er or later succumb to the, other, and *be 4driven out. We believe not,a single 'neon/ porated coal company exists in England en gaged in Mining coal : • It is all done %by . " in -dividuahi and associations •of individuals.

Some advocated -suspension, while a majority were opposed to it, Mid nearly all were opposed to the basis syste!m ; but there was no concert of action, and they remain ed pusive, except that 'they all agreed, and so told their men, that n 6 suspension ought to take place unless it was general and not leave the whole! brunt of the business fall upon Schuylkill County again. On this . point only ,they were unanimous, , and no censure can attach to them !for taking this position. The truth is' that the trade was in'. Stich a condition that bankruptcy, stared about three-foarths of the dealers in the face; and they seemed powerless to do any thing. It is aWo charge d d - thst they: Contributed to send emis.stuiesl into the other counties. Some individuals may have 'done so, hut we do not , know a single operator that did con tribute money for such a purpose. As a lady they did net, for they had uo organiza tion to act in concert, and the Workingmen's Benevolent Association declares ' that they bore all,the expenses, and ;did riot receive any contributions from the operatets what , ever. - [ This we believe to be a true history of the . difficulties thatinive : existed in thO inthra.- . , cite coal regions', (they did not extend to tiie bituminous coalfields,) for the „last two years. We havekritered into the subject More fully at this time, so that our readers and consu mers of coal abroad may understand fully the causes that 1 1 ed to the high: prices of an- thracite coal. • 1: • •• '- "Cnder the circumstances thht were sur*, rounding and ' ltitharrassing: the coal trade in these conflicts between the employed and, employees, we believed that the basis system was much better than the,frequent _strikes that occurred in the region, provided it Was established on air and just : principles to all Parties, and the efore urged the operators to give it LI trial. We believe uow/that a large, majity of thelopemtors ritefer It also. Be for if a contract was tuadetfor coal, and it became koownj demands for ady'anced wages was made, and'f not rota : plied with a strike ca l . took place, and 10 several iristances operators ivere subjected o heaVy 105..4 . e5. On the basis system they ' raske sides and no stoppage takes place, the-operator obtaining the 'high est price he can for his ccimniedity, and; pays to labor the Proportion a,greid 'upon for the month.. Et-en'} if he makes less on his coal, he knows that l wages Will riot go beyond the proportion . agreed upati e ' etch month. The basis' princiidel is in" fact' the first step to *aids co-eperatio„u. : , '2l i` ' • / It is evident film the state of the markets; the fall of the premium on gold, and the great decline in breadstuflli;- clothing, &c., that the Point In the basis for suspension must be fixed at a lower figure than theaver age price of $3 at Port Carbon, or they must adopt a descending scale of'figurse below $3, say $2 50 per 1 ton,, at . the Shipping point. Below this rio consumer of!cOal ought to ex pect the . ' operator, Miner l or•laborer to go,. bc..cause it woffid be below the coat of pro ducing teal, arid no workingman could sup _ port and clothe his family. ..!: . ' • The subject ,is fully discussed among the operators and 'Workingmen ;, but no conclu sion has been arrived at yet, and no just con clusion can be arrived at except a determi nation on the part of both Parties totipmand what is right and submit to ;nothing that is wrong; itud this can only be done by keep ing up both organizations to maintain each others rights, I.rrbds is the:only way to edu cate both operators atutworkingmen up to a full understanding of the rights of each. ;The sooner this question is settled-now the better for the coal Interests Of our immediate coal regions. ktta the one party. is tab high and the other too low, there ought not_ to be any difficulty In settling•on is medium policy on, the part of I those who cieeire to act justly towards each Other. 1 . , • The followlng was -, the :working of - the 'basis system:after its adoPtion:.

But few deaths, . comparatii•ely speaking, have' occurred in Schuylkill 'County from explosions, which are caused by baS tion in'toines: We'sent circulars to all the opqrators in the Anthracite Coal Regions, making iii cfuiry as -to the number of deaths itt their collieries and `the number Injured.

The • Lehigh coal -and -Naigation Company mined about 4.50,000 tons from their eight collieries, and only 2 men were .killed and 2 Injured slightly.

We • hpfie that those who have not, yet furnished nayiith rePliee to these questions will do : so:as soon as possible, as `iVe are anxious to have these statistics complete. We have. incurred , con siderable expense already in their collection,' and as they are for the information .of all parties, a little more promptness on their part would greatly contribute to this: end.: •To England, Scotland and Wales; In 15117, there Was one person killed for every 103,000 . tons of coal „mined. This Is a much' less number than occurred a few searq age in proportion to the production. The number, however varies largely in different districts. in the district of West Lancashire and worth Wales there was in 1807 one person killed to every 32,000 tons of coal mined. ' Xn England, and Wales the Average_ was aboutl to . 110,500 tons pained, and in Scotland 1 to174' ? 000 tons mined. But 1n §.Cothind It is :stated tbak theylitive.,-abdut . one person 'emidoyed every fifteen persons works in' th . o mines to watch the men and checT.the . casualties. All these statistics have an important bearl - ing on the passage of a/Ventilation Bill at Harrisburg. All the ' ettmbrous bills pre sented are , nuisances.' With _three or four additional sections added to the Schuylkill County Bill; which we can point out; and then extend it to ,all the counties, it will prove to be better for the purpose than any of the others presented. •The rules and regu lations suggested aethe different collieries by the Mine Inspector to suit the Warking *of each colliery, U of mo - Te importance than all the sections that can he piled .11P in, any BROAD Top ! .
