MINING JOURNAL.
J. B. ODER, Editor.
FROSTBURG. MD„ FEB 18,1882.
Ih an article from the Engineering
and Mining Journal , elsewhere print
ed, it will be seen onr operators an
moving in the direction ot reducing
wages. They were to for dis
cussion in Baltimore this week, and
the paper quoted urged upon them to
unite "for the purpose of reducing
wages."
Having delayed treating this mat
ter so long, they should have waited
yet a little while tor the outcome ot
the miners’ appeal to Clearfield. To
say the least, this would have been
fair. Their proceeding, whatever it
may be, tends to complicate and re
tard a proper settlement of the ques
tion by those who have in a common
interest moved to equalize wages. It
is to be feared, therefore, that the
companies here want no advance in
Clearfield, preferring a downward to
an upward tendency of wages. We
have had occasion before to remark
that fifty or filty-fivo cents here
means forty in Clearfie d, so that the
operators of the latter region will lead
ours anyhow in whatever advantages
there are to be gained by reductions.
It will be seen, then, that a contest
in Clearfield seems inevitable. If
wages are reduced here, wages must
be reduced there—as the only hope
of giving an inferior coal a competi
tive standing wth ours, Which is
better— a contest for a higher rate, or
one against a lower price than they
now have? The former by every
possible method of reason.
The probability that the question
is reaching a crisis here makes imme
diate and decisive action by the
Clearfield people more than ever im
perative. Holding in their hands
the welfare of our miners as well as
their own, it behooves our people
also to urge this appeal with renewed
vim, and both should move with a
determination not to be oveibcrne—
this to avoid any cessation of mining
when the time for work comes.
With all the great output from
Clearfield the report comes that the
miners are making nothing at fifty
cents. At present prices of living,
how much can oni people make at the
same rate? If the former region
woiks unprefitabiy at fiftv cents, how
will it be at forty cents 7 And how wil 1
our people do at fifty cents, with a
long strike thrown in 7
We earnestly trust, however, that
the Baltimore meeting has resulted in
no conclusion looking to a reduction
ot wage?. If eo, the effect wil' not
be altogether unpromising; if they
attempt a reduction, then they have
joined hands with their hated Clear
field rivals for a wholesale destruc
tion of labor.
In any event, Clearfield should
come up to sixty-five cents !
Quite a new and peculiar test has
been applied to ascertain the qualifi
cations of aspiring magistrates and
registers. Suspected penitents have
been cited before some grave and rev
erend seignior, as it were. They are
not required to be democrats, as of
yore, but their loyalty to the gover
nor must be a double-barreled tine
qua non. This established by un
doubted evidence of active service
rendered the republican ticket last
tall, the applicants are duly certifica
ted and labeled 0. K. Under the
pressure several spurious conversions
have happened. The Hamiltonian
catechism in this county is run by two
or three quite too remarkably not cel
ebrated membahs of the Cumberlanu
bah.
• The anti-monopoly feeling through
out the country is making more pro
gress than most people are aware of.
In several States the people are be
ginning to move against encroach
ment upon their rights and trespas
upon their property, and even in
Ma’yland the tide is steadily rising.
The day is not far off when cunning
will cease to delude, hypocrisy to de
ceive and power to overawe the free
people of the Commonwealth, It may
never reach Allegany where the rail
roads are leagued with the other cor
porations, but there will beaspright
ly isckonirg all around us of the new
era with the old.
The meeting of coal operators in
Baltimore "to discuss he advisability
of reducing the wages of mining" is
said to include abo "other matters
of interest." Poss.bly these comprise
a comparison of n-'tea over the result
accomplished in the last election, and
as the boys voted all right, they ought
to be made to work as they voted.
The Oakland Democrat and Balti
more Herald are discussing reform so
far as that issue may involve the gov
ernor's salary. And it does not ap
pear either that His Excellency ever
recommended that be te invested with
I ower to appoint the wealthy editors of
the papers named an unpaid commis
si in to investigate and lepoit.
But then circumstances alter cases, you
1 know.—Valley limes.
So that if by any chance the circum
stances remain unchanged the cases no
on evolnting anyhow.
, The Maryland Editorial Associa
ioo in session last week at Annepo
is. came down heavi y upon adver
ting agents. Now let them be as
. good as their woid and announce
I unanimously and continuously—"No
, dealings with advertising agents.”
! Mr. Moore the republican Senator
:rom Montgomery, voted against the
• elective mine inspector bill. Mr.
I Moore think? there is capital in the
I measure foi Mr. Brace. Mr. Moore
1 is not aiding the Braes boom to any
1 appreciable extent if he knows it.
• Fact is, Mr. Moore has the Congres
sional bumble bee buzzing persuasive
ly around in his own Gainsborough.
A modern “Macaulay" has been
discovered by the Lonaconing Review:
1 He extemporized a brilliant commu
nication, sent it to that paper and it
1 was found to coincide almost exactly
with an editorial in the Shenandoah
(Pa.) Mining Herald, But the intel
ligent reader can stand that better
than the rehash of dead witticisms
which frequently appear closer home
To day is St. Valentine’s day. Parlia
ment should send Mr. Gladstone a cloture.
I The Assembly should scud Osmbetta a
i erulin de lisle. The Reichstag should send
Bismark a rescript. — Baltimore Oeuetle.
And the able-bodied mechanical
department should have sent Gover
nor Hamilton a copy of the Valiev
limes inscribed—“Ho'd on to our
coat-tails, governor," Ah ! if tail
hold should slip—good-bye I
Some Clearfield authorities report
that the operators are prepared to
make it lively for any committee
from this field appearing there to
“make trouble." Had I glorious land
1 of liberty lOf thy "special police"
wa sing I Perhaps the difference of
fifteen cents per ton enables the
miners over there to maintain a force
' sufficient to keep them in tubjeotion
to low wages 1
An old stager remarked to us the
i other day of wages articles appearing
( in old and new local papers about
, this time that “the editors are writing
und.-r the hallucination that their ar
( guments never appeared in print be
, fore. Why," continued he, “the
r Journal b>s long ago gene ovir a’l
I that ground until we uudeistan !it
k thoroughly." Tie old man forgot
that the little boys ami g rls need in
t struction, and, when reminded, re
j marked “that’s so."
i The corporate election is only six
t weeks off, and it is nearly time the
r solid citizen? were casting around for
B good citizens to fill the offices of May
. or and Councilman.
Respecting the financial condition
of the town it is difficult to state
1 where we stand, owing to the r.on
pnblioation of the usual quarterly re
ports. On the 3d day of May, 1880 i
8 onr indebtedness was $1,252 84, and
$626.62 on the 2d of May, 1881. At
• that rate of reduction we ought to be
s nearly out of debt.
e The Valley Times “feels sure"—
j That the Index clerkship is ns tar from
Allegany ns was the Bute printing.
The former is not so much the
e Times' fault as the latter was its mis
fortune ; or as Shakspearo has it—
e The apprehension of the good
t Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
The V. T. should curb itself. Peo
b pie of strictly confidential perceptions
b have pursued them by magnetic in
i otinet straight to the devil.
} In conclusion, will some astrenomi
- cal surveyor compute the distano;
i from the State printing down to the
mechanical department of the Valley

’ There is a little talk going about
' the Congressional election next fall,
though it is early to forecast proba
bilities. It seems likely, however,
that the nominations must come from
1 this end of the district. Frederick is
• honored by the incumbent, Mr.
5 Umer, who wants to go on the Bench.
Washington has strong claims, but
9 these are moderated by her numerous
’ judicial aspirations, and so on.
In the republican ranks Senator
' Brace is looming up handsomely.
’ Though young, be has wo.i a prestige
r of success which none of his competi
torscan afford to despise His <-andi
i daoy last fall developed resources of
, strength and political sagacity in th s
{ county, the result of which surpris' d
| himself. With a larger object ahead,
_ it is sale to sa/ that in the wider field
. of the district, Lis work would he
I commensurate with the end and nee I
. If his party favors him, ha is of that
kind ct stuff, wh’ch never rests, day
or night, to catry its banner to success.
On the democratic side the leading
i name, so far as we have heard, is, in
our judgment, Mr. William R. Getty,
of Garrett county. Unexpectedly
elected last fa 1, the only democratic
legislator of any pi eminence from the
district, and coming from a county
which has never been’honored with a ,
Congi es°ioaal nomination, his claims i
before a convention will be very for
midallo indeed. Like Mr. Brac„,
nominated, he works as one knowing
no such word as "fail." He would
poll his own generally and carry the
pivotal county overwhe mmgly.
In the judicial contest it appears
hat At egany can have no ca didate
for associate judge. This lentleraan
must come from Garrett or Wa hn.g
ton. We may nominate a Chie,
Judge, and soma good names have
been mentioned. Hon. H W. Huff
man would make a fair judge ; so
also several republican gent.emen
named in Washington.
Oi course, Hon. R. H. Alvey will
be re-nominated by the democrats,
though many fear that in the heat of
partisan contest he might fail to pull
through. Still no stronger man can
be put up.
We shall sea what we shall see.

BITUMINO VS COAL.
Between tho bituminous coal in- 1
dnstry and the iron ore industry, the
lormer takes from ths earth a pro
duct worth 140 per cent, more; em
ploys 205 per cent, more bands, 46
per cent, mere capital, and 161 per
cent, more materia], and pave 222 per
cent, more wages. The figures are
baaed on the return from regular
mines, and would be slightly less if
the “regular product"—more impor
tant in the case of coal than that of
iron—were taken into consideration.
The increase in the to .nage of th?
iron ore, mined during the census
year 136 per cent, and that of bitumi
nous coal 135 per cent. ss compand
with the census year 1830; sho ring
that these two great divisions of
miners! production keep pace with
each other, and are advancing nearly
twice as fast as the production rf an
thracite. The reason of this is the
obvious one that, in the 10-mer case
new fields are laid under contribution
from time to time, as rai’ways are x
tended, wiereas anthracite is r 'strict
ed to its original area.
Iron is mined in 135 counties, and
b tuminoua coal in 314 conn ies east :
of the 100th meridian—Mi ring Rec
ord.
k scarcity ot car? still keeps the
market practically free of coal, and
prices are quite strong. We quote
at $5 per ton. Desirable customers
can shade (his pr ce, however.
Freight rates from Baltimore and
Philadelphia are high. There will
be a meeting of the Cumberland coal
producers at Ba timore next week—
probably on Thursday—to discuss
the advisability of reducing miners'
wages and other questions of interest.
The miners ot the Cumberland dis
trict made an appeal to the Clearfield
minors to demand an advance of
wages. Their argument is a great
deal like the policy adopted bv the
transportation companies, that if i
there is to be any prefit in mining
coal, they are entitled to it. This
should not deter the Cumberland pro
ducers in uniting for the purpose of
making the necessary reduction in
wages.
We Uarn of no contracts having
been made for this year’s busmen ■,
although it is said that there has
been considerable ta'king about them.
The Snow Shoefield is steadily
assuming importance, and we should
not be surprized to see it surpass
Cleai field in a few years. It is the
nearest bituminous coal to th; New
Yoik market, and should seurre a
large business North, and in the
Lehigh, Schuylkill, and Susquehanna
valleys especially for coke in the
three latter districts. Engi leering
an 1 Mining Journal,
There is a little better supply of
oars to tie Clearfield region but the
production isetill insufficient to meet
the requirements of trade. We quote
at $4 90 @ $5 alongside hare for all
desciptions. It is thought that the I
Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania I
railroads will come to an understand- |
ing lelative to this year's bituminous
trade The basis of the agreement |
will be a division of the business on ,
percentages about settled now, an I a
lorfeit for breaking the terms of the
arrangements. It is said t..a‘ freight
will be advanced about 30c. per ton, ;
ai d that the price oi bituminous coal 1
will be high this year.
It is said that the Clearfi -Id miners
are not inclined to fight the bailies
of tho Cumberland miners. It a com
mutes trom the Cumberland iegnu
puts in an appeara; ce in th Coal
field region fir the purpose f causing
tiouble, it is sa.d that the op.-raiort
Wlil give it a warm reception ..in.
turn it over to the kind ail nlun- of
justice.—Weumsilay s N. Y. Oal.
Bitum nous is active, as' oomi ar d
with Anihraute; the mi) p ies avail -
ble ate net above ttie ieq irumen a.
This is due to many caua.s, but the
prime reason is no doubt the ucuvi.y
along the line, which keeps Clear
field in sboit supply here at tide.
The weekly tonnage is not so 1 .ige a.
it might be were cars moie plentiful.
We notice that Georges Oieois is not
doing much each week at present.
An average of tweu y five per cent,
more from both districts referred to,
would make the market veiy e.sy,
however. We look for an iuorea:e in
the transportation rates on ibis variety

The Weather. —Tbe early part of
the week was remarkable for several
clear, pleasant days. Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings opened up
bright and beautiful as spring. But
the most brilliant creatious of Na

weather is no exception to the rule.

severity would mark tbe doss of this
week in that belief territory covering
several degtees north and south of
