All were | Placed under oath before testifylng. | | It developed that all the companies | represented, except one, had particl- pated in & recent increase of 60 cents @ ton for anthracite, New Price Not Warranted | Senator Halgls, in an opening state- ment, made it emphatic that the com- mittee looked upon the latest ad- vance of 60 cents a ton as “unwar- ranted.” he sald, “From April 1 to Aug. 1 domestic sizes of anthracite were selling in the Boston district for $15 a net ton, On or about Aug., 1 the demlegs in the Boston district Increased the price by 60 cents to $15.50 a ton. As there had been no Increase in mine prices, and no material increase, If any, in freight rates during this period, this 60-cent increase by the dealers of Boston district appeared to the com- | mittesa to be unwarranted. “On Sept. 1 the eontract between the anthracite operators and the United Mine Workers expired, and mining was suspended. Shortly aft- er this, Goye. Pinchot brought the parties togefher, resulting in a settle- ment by which a 10 per cent increase in wages was granted and the eight- hour day extended. Dealers Should Absorh Increase “Anthracite mining was resumed on Sept. 19. The eperators thereupon an- nounced new price schedules, carrying increases for domestic sizes varying cents to 90 cents per gross ton, and for broken from 25 cents to 90 eents per gross ton. After this new price schedule had gone into effect, carrying increases in the mine price which in no case exceeded 90 cents per gross ton and which averaged under 70 eents per net ton,’ most of the dealers in the Boston district put into effect a second increase in price of 50 cents a net ton, making $1 in all. “Tt has been generally recogniz¥d | that the dealers could probably not absorb the emtire increage in mine | price resulting. from the “settlement, |but, with ndwemal production once | more restored after but a prief in- terruption, and with a new contract in t runping for two years, thus in- ing uninterrupted production, it was believed that the retailers could absorb a part of the increase and if their business was condycted with rea- sonable efficiency, comld still make a fair profit. Tn other words, while the fi0-cent incwease of last August may have hecome justified in part at least by subsequent events, there appeared to be no justification for any further increase, and still less for any increase in excess of that imposed by the op- erators, which, as has been stated, av- nrag‘es under 70 cents a net ton.” | 1e When your tea guests praise your des- serts and ask for the recipe, can you' proudly specify Baker's: Certified Extracts?—advt.

Grayson, owner of My Own, sald today that if his three- year-old were called upon to meet Papyrus at Belmont Park tomorrow, the race would find My Own in good condition despite the eleventh hour upset in plans. “I am a little sorry,” sald Admiral Grayson, “that we did not have long- er notice, but If My Own enters the race there will be no alibls. 1 am confident the rallroad trip will not hurt him, and that he will be found in good condition.” Though no official information was avallable, it was assumed that Earl Sande, Zev's jockey, would ride My Own In event the latter is chosen to race Papyrus. Sande has had the leg up on both American three-year-old atars in all of their important victor- ies this season. It was recognized the jockey club’s committee faced a perplexing situa- tion. Should the committee decide that Zev was not in condition to run or that the track was likely to be too ‘wet for My Own, it has no other can- didate ready. Untidy, the second al- ternate, has brokn down, and while the committee, under its agreement with Ben Irish, owner of Papyrus, has the right to name any entry, there are no outstanding eligibles, New Train to Florida To Run From Boston Negotiations have so far progressed in the matter of schedules and PuM- man equipment that a solid through train service from New England to Florida polnts is assured for the com- ing season.

The new Florida train will be known ag the “Everglades Limited” and will leave Boston shortly after 7.00 P. M. A train will be operated from Springfleld connecting with the “Everglades” leaving Springfield about 8:30. The plan under consideration contemplates Pullman cars to Miami, St. Petersburg and possibly Tampa, as well as Jacksonville, from Boston, and Pullman equipment from Springfield, The connecting train from Springfleld will be due at Hartford shortly after 9.00 and in New Haven about 10.15 where the Florida car will remain untll the arrival of the “Everglades” from Boston to which the through car from Springfield will be attached. The through service from Springfield will be available also to the cities of Meri- den, New Britain, Bristol, Waterbury and Bridgeport.

Washington, Oct. 19.—Enough rain was falling in the north and middle Atlantic states today to bring some relief from the drought in parts of those sections, but weather bureau of- ficlals sald indications were that it would not be sufficient to restore diminished water supplies to normal. Rain 1s falling throtghout the At- lantic states today and is expected to continue tonight. Clear weather be- ginning tomorrow, however, is expect- ed to continue several days, no south- ern air movements bearing more rain belng in immediate prospect. The drought, which has just reach- ed its most acute stage, amounts to an accumulation of deficient rainfall, | rather than a lack of precipitation, and is attributed to unusual quies- cence among the air currents. Few storm areas have mowed across the affected section in " recent months. Rain bearing currents have been ad- vancing eastward to the Mississippi and then turning northeastward to the Great Lakes with the eastern part of the country getting its currents from the St. Lawrence valley and New- foundlang territory, which produce dry weather, The droughty condition, however, is not unscasonable, the hureau’s rec- ords show, and the usual return to normal may be looked for goon. 3,000 Miners Strike.
