FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1890. A New Miner*' Organization. A now labor union called the "Work inginen's Benevolent and Protective As sociation" was formed at Pottsville on Saturday. Forty-one delegates, repre senting the entire anthracite region, met and adopted resolutions declaring that the deplorable condition of the miners of the region is largely due to the unor ganized condition of the masses, and that the various organizations in exist ence would better protect and advance the common iuterests of all if consoli dated into one. The resolutions favor the eight hour movement and arbitra tion. The new order is intended to take the place of the old Miners and Laborers' Amalgamated Association and the Knights of Labor. It is believed by the projectors and organizers of the new as sociation that it will be a success. They ! will strive for a perfect organization, and to do so will agitate and work for a com plete unity of forces throughout the en tire region. Another meeting will be held April 3.

It is just a little more than a year ago that the complaint of Coxe Bros. & Co. against the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com pany was argued before the Interstate Commerce Commission, but not a word has been heard from that body as to its decision. The commission has investi gated a number of transportation ques- 1 tions 111 the intervening twelve months and has even stirred up a great deal of new work fur itself, hut it has been un able to find time to decide the most im portant single complaint that has been i nrought before it. This is a dereliction of duty that is a gross injustice to one of the parties to the suit. If Coxe Bros.' complaint is just they should be so noti- j tied; if it is unjust the Lehigh Valley Railroad officials should he so informed,, that they may arrange their business ac cordingly. The only result in Mr. Coxe's agitation is a reduction of 20 cents a ton in the freight rates 011 the so-called unprepared sizes, although all coal men know there ! is just as much preparation about pea coal as there is about stove and chest nut. The reduction of 20 cents has not I been enough to check the inroads that. bituminous coal is making in the fuel market. Through the short-sighted policy of the carrying companies the consumption of the steam-making sizes of anthracite coal is decreasing year by year. Nothing but decisive measures will now answer. Instead of exacting $1.40 a ton for hauling pea coal, the tolls should be put down to $1 or 80 cents if necessary. Any rate that more than pays expenses is better than losing the traffic altogether.

Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite coal trade does not i display increased activity in any partieu-1 lar. The demand for the domestic sizes ' docs not improve materially, but the fur- ■ nace and steam sizes continue in good re quest and the consumption of them is fully equal to the supply. The output of anthracite for February, according to the official figures of the Chief of Bureau of Statistics, John 11. Jones, fell over a quar ter of a million tons behind the produc tion for the corresponding period of last year, and it was also nearly 150,000 tons less than the previously estimated ton nage for t hat month. The decreased pro duction last month was well distributed between the Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylkill regions, indicating that all of the larger mining and carrying corpora ; tions are working in close harmony for ; mutual benefit, and we are informed that this policy will most likely be continued | throughout the year. The general sales I agents of the anthracite producing inter j csts will meet again at New York to-day :to discuss the situation of the coal ! trade and the question of reducing ' prices, but there is not niucn likelihood of any change being made while the de ' mand for coal continues so light as it is ! at present. The individual operators tire | clamoring for a reduction in the rate of 1 tolls, both for the line ami tidewater busi ness, but those well posted on the situa tion are of the opinion that there will not he any reduction in tolls while the prices for coal continue to rule so low. The total amount of anthracite coal j sent to market for the week ending; March 15, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 528,664 tons, ; compared with 508,531 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of ! 20,133 tons. The total amount of an- | thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 1 was 5,175,140 tons compared with 5,700,- 941 tons for the snme period last year, a decrease of 585,801 tons. — Ledger.
