COMBINE OF MILLERS.
They are!Arranglng to Control tba Mar
keting of Flour.
Tha effort! being made by tha leading mil
lers of the country, and tbe chief members of
tha National Millers' Association, to bring
about an arrangement which will provide
roles for the output of flour on tha market,
and Oxlng a minimum price for Hour, appear
to be on the point of reaching a successful
issue. The details of the plnn hare been
worked out, and mado known to the princi
pal millers of the country, nnd the aereement
of the large millers of winter nnd spring
wheat to abide by the regulations, or, In
other words, to enter the combination, Is all
that Is now lacking.
Two months ago, at a meeting of the Na
tional Miller's Association in Minneapolis, It
was suggested that a plan be formulated
whereby the brokers and other outsiders
could not turn the flour market as they taw
fit, but by which the millers themselves could
control the market to an extent tufllclent to
protect themselves, if nothing more. The
plan (proposed Is to form a combination of
millers and fix the minimum prl:e at which
tha o-itput of the mills will be sold. No mil
ler may go under this price. All may sell
above It. To solve tbe overproduction prob
lem It was decided to bnve all nulls reduce
their production 19 per cent., which would
make a difference of almost 4,000,008 In a
year. All mills falling to reduce their pro
duction will be notllled, and shall, according
to tbe agreement, pay to the combine ten
cents for every barrel of flour In excess of the
agreed weight. The agreement is to bold for
a year, and to be renewed thereafter yearly
If held satisfactory.
The New Mining Hate.
In the Pittsburg district tbe new double
rate of fit cents a ton cash paymeut nnd 09
ents a ton where a store la kept, took effeet
October 1. Ho far as known a I the operators
In .the district except two will pay the new
rate. The miners' leaders have rounded up
their forces, and It Is possible work may bo
suspended at the mines of the two eompnnlee
reckoned as doubtful in case they do not act
promptly in accepting the new wage rate.
Furnace Coke Goes Up.
Tbe price of furnace coke bos been advanc
ed to take eftect October 1 to tl.60 per ton,
and the H. C. Frlck CokeCompanv and other
companyi in whlcb they are interested, or
control, bava posted notice giving their men
an advance of six per cent, la wages, to take
effect October 1. This will apply to about
thirteen thousand men, so far as tba Frlck
companies are concerned.
Should tha advance become general
throughout tbe region, which is likely, it will
apply to several thousand more.
