COMPENSATION FOR THE OPERATORS
Tho Great Looses to he Coal Companies
by Reason of tho Strlko Cuts a
Larflo Flrjure
Special to Tho Post
Washington October 18 Among persons
who havo kept up with every development
of tlio coal strike tho belief was expressed
today that after hard coal mining had been
resumed tho prices of conl would not only
remain high for several weeks as Is ex-
pected under tho prevailing conditions but
that coal would tic sold permanently by Iho
compaules at tho mines upon a prlco basis
higher than beforo the strlko started last
May
It is rumored that tho cool companies
will establish n permanent ndvuncu of not
less than CO cents per ton The companies
it is said expect tho commission appointed
by tho president to decide thnt tho coal
miners aro entitled to on advanco in wages
Anticipating therefore that 15 cents per
ton may represent tho increasa of wages
thnt will go to tho miners thcro would bo-
a not Increase ot 85 centa per ton In tfco
prlco received by tho railroads and tho coal
companies A permanent IncrcaBO In tho
prlco of coal will ba considered Imperative
It tho demands of tho miners aro granted
The rata ot advance mentioned will allow
in addition to lncrensed wages for tho tatai
for profit to tho coal roads In compensa-
tion for tho losses they hove tucurred by
reason of tbe strike Such an increase as
60 cents a ton for coal Jreo on board at
the mines would aggrcgato an Immcnso
sura for tho coal roads Taking tho normal
output of tho anthracite region at 00000
tons per annum an Increased profit of 83
centa on tacn ton would amount to U
600000
PROBABLY THE LAST WEEK
There Was Nothlno of Any Moment In
Strlko Region
WUfecsbarre Pa October 18 What la
probably the last full week of tho an-
thracite coal strlko closed today without
anything developing to chango tbo pence
ful trend of events All tho locals havo
mot nnd selected their representatives to
tbo Wllknsbarre gathering Monday morn-
ing There seems to bo lltllo doubt that
tho convention will accept Iho offer ot ar-
bitration Reports bavo boon received hero
coming principally from tho region around
Srranton thnt there will be considerable
opposition to the ncceptancn ot tho plan
bat theso reports nro not taken seriously
at President Mitchells hendquortors There
will bo opposition In tho convention but It
will disappear It Is thought after Mr
Mitchell explains the proposition Prob
nbly tho most difficult question which will
come up Is tho one relative to strikers
securing their old places Tho companies
aro on record as saying that they will taka
caro of all tho employes who havo stood
by them during tho strike Many ot tho
miners want tho convention to withhold
acceptanco of tho arbitration plan until
tho union Is assured that the strikers will
bo reemployed In their formor places This
will likely cause a long debato but tho of-
ficials ot tho union say tbo matter will bo
fixed up satisfactorily to all concerned
President Mitchell was asked tonight
what ho know of the reoort cabled to the
Manchester Guardian from New York that
J rierpont Morgan was forced to Inter
vena In the coal strlko and In reply ha
said To mr persona knowledge Mr
Morgan has been trying to settle tho coal
strike ever since he camo back from
Rarope two months beo If others had
been as fair and reasonable aa Mr Mor-
gan tho strike would have been settled
o long tlmo mo I know nothing about
Mr Morgans financial Intcrrots compell-
ing him to seek a settlement of tho strike
hut I am informed that ho lias keenly felt
his responsibility to the oubllc In connec-
tion with tbo fuel famine and has done
his best to brtne about tbo end Both Mr
Morgan nnd Mr Caesatt of tho Pennsylva-
nia railroad were working for a settlement
when President Itoosovclt made bis last
and successful moyn Mr Morgan could
not very well be forced to do something
which he had been trrlne to achieve for
several weeks I make this statement In-
justice to Mr Moreen I am credibly In-
formed that he is friendly to organized
labor
The shaft cCthe Mount lookout colliery
of the TcmDlo Coal end Iron company at
Wyoming was wrecked todar by one of the
small locomotlTci used for hauling caro
containing culm Tho cnrlncer left the en-
gine for a moment and it suddenly start-
ed and ran to tho shaft and plunged down
lodging 820 feet below the surface at the
Bed Ash Tcln Fortnnatclr the boiler did
not explode but tbe big machine la Its
fall tore out tho lining ot the shaft and
did other damage that will causa a sus-
pension for a week or more
It Is probable the homaward movement
of the soldiers will btsln about the mid-
dle of next week It is costing the State
more than 30000 a dar to keep the Na-
tional guard in the field

tho addressee will aid to tho oitont of bis

bore In its cantiou an well tbo uamo ot
Senator Quay uud clerk to tbo commission
of Immigration and was sent by mull to
various Federal ofneers uud their employee
at their home addresses Upon advice
from the commission that becauso ot
their official relations neither Senator
Quay nor Mr Andrews the secretary could
properly serve on a committee concerned
In soliciting and receiving nolltlcal con-
tributions from Federal offlcets or per-
mit their names to ba held forth In lot

letter so far as addressed to Federal of-
ficials was withdrawn Immediately
thereafter another circular letter was Is-
sued la Identically the ssmo form ex-
cept that It boro tbe signature ot the
treasurer of the committee who ts not a
Federal ofttco holder The commission
pointed out tbe lllerslttr of this circular
because It carried on Its beading tho
