. ~— THE CQAL CONSPIRACY. The Canses, the Aims and the Possible Ter minations of the Strike, How the Miners Have Controlled the Market— ‘The Coal Dealers Side with the Men—The Ra- pacity of the Monopolists—What is Thought Here About the Philadelphia Meeting— The Fuel Famine Panic Among the Poor Hourly Increasing. ‘The coal famine is stil) the absorbing topic of con- Versation, Speculation in regard to the subject con- tinues to undergo the multifarious forms of ima- ginative conjectures which are consequent upon all such extraordinary outbreaks in social life. The question rests in much the same position as it did according to yesterday’s report m the HERALD, Nothing was left undone yesterday to ascertain any new phases that might have occurred to change She aspect of affairs, but nothing was elicited from Which it would be safe to augur 2 serious change either on the part of the men or of the monopolists. The opinion entertained by many that were THE DUTY TAKEN OFF coal coming irom the British provinces was in- quired about, and while many favored that vfew there were as many opposed to it. It was argued that i! the duty were taken of then bituminous coal might be sold at so | very low a price that steamship owners and manu- facturers could easily procure it, and consequently anthracite coal would not be so much in demand. ‘This view of the matver is worthy of serious con- sideration, though, of course, it Wil sustain the utmost objection {rom the Cumberland coal miners. Probably the question would never have arisen were it not for the present extraordinary troubtes in the Pennsylvania coal regions. But as the question stands w-day there can be no doubt but that were there no daty at all upon the importation of foreign coal anthracite coal would not reach nearly 80 high a price as it now commands. For the more Ditumimous coal there 1s in the market the less would be the demand for anthracite ceal, which beretofore has been very much in use im places ‘Where bituminous coal now ts used. In regard to THE STRIKE AMONG THE MINERS im Pennsylvania very little that is new can pe said Some of the largest coal merchants in the city are in almost perfect accord with the men. It seems ‘that for a number of years past the miners and their assistants have controlled the coal trade, and itis acknowledged on all sides that they have ably done So. In the hands of the men rested the fluctuations ofthe price of coal in this city, and the wholesale dealers admit that the workmen have ever acted with a due regard to the interests of employé and employer. ‘The manner in which the stability of the trade ‘was effected consisted simply in the work performed by the men. It would be impossible for any com- pany to put upon the market a quantity of coal of which the workmen were ignorant, especially as, for the most part, the men’s wages depended upon the tonnage delivered in New York, or that was carted from the mines. The gnestion Of the strike, remembering what ‘Was stated in yesterday’s HERALD, may be briefly stated. It is considered by the companies, the rail- roads and the men themselves simply to turn upon AN EQUITABLE SHARE OP PROFITS, Which profits ought to come reasonably from the gale Of anthracite coal at a reasonable price. The men believe that about six dollars a ton is @ reasonable price for Pennsyivania coal. Anthra- cite coal is now fourteen dollars a ton; and how comes the trouble? Simply, in this way, that there 1g a dispute between the men and the companies tn regard to the profits which are w be derived from the coal at six dojlars a ton, The men insist that they are entitled to a cer- tain share; the companies also insist that they are entitled to a certain share—more than the workmen are willing to accord them—and then in come the railroad people, as 1s evident trom their acuon in advancing the freignt rates, claiming their share, the result being that all parties want to have @ finger in the pie. It may be something novel to know that hitherto the workmen In the mines have controlled altogether the price of coal in this city. Yet such is the fact. ‘Things were 80 arranged thal when coal Was going down to TOO LOW A PRICE the men suspended work, and consequently, from the scarcity of coal, the price wentup. The great . Teason lor the suspension of work consisted in the | custom of working on What Is called a “baeis.’? The “basis” in general entitied the men to @ certam share of the profits over the amount of money fixed upon as the price per ton, as was explained in yesterday’s HERALD, and as the lower the prices went the more money the Men lost, so did the miners’ indignation increase at what they believed to be @ fraud upon them. Con- sequently there was much trouble in regard to fixing aby satisfactory ‘basis’ upon which to work, In a iarge section of the mining regions the men contended that they were entitied to the upwara and downward scale, which means this—that, sup- posing the Basis to be five dollars a ton for coal sold in New York (which was the basis for a large part of the mining regions), tue workmen Were entitled to a percentage upon any amount received over five doilars, and were not subjected to a reduction in case the price of coal went below five doilars 1ton. There was much trouble caused in the coal elds On account of the dispute in regard to TRE DOWNWARD SCALE. And the point of the trouble rested in this, that the miners feared, and with good reason, that if the companies could once again control the price of coal they would reduce 1t so low that, were there to be a aownward scaie in force in regard to the men, their Wages would amount to nothing. Put in the brictest posstbie 1orm, that explains the present dificuity; the men will not allow compames 1 control the price of coal, lor then the companies, after taking care of themselves, would pitch the amen overboard entirely. The MEETING HELD IN PHILADELPHIA on Thursday iast does not make matters much bet- ter than they were before. Most of the coai dealers iu the city consider it to be a humbug. It is ad- mitted that tue resolutions proposed were such that 1¢ was never meant that they should be accepted. it was slinply meant to prolong the strife and to attempt to create public sympa- thy. The resolutions referred to were published 1n yesterday’s HERALD, and a careful perusal of them Will shoW that so lar from healing the wounds now open, (hey were mlended to Keep them open. But the maim object which was sought to be accom. plished by the resolutions was tw throw the onus ora REFUSAL OF SETTLEMENT on the workmen in the mines, The trick was 80 @pparent that no person was taken in by it. The Weetung in Phiiadelpma has done more to show that the forty thousand men working in the Pennsylva- nia mines are in the right in their demands than anything that has occurred since the beginning of Me sirike. ‘Tne HERALD reporter “interviewed” very many of the wholesale and retail dealers yesterday, and he 1s constrained to state, emphaticaily, that the at seems to be altogether in favor of the men anc against the monopolists. The action of the railroad ‘companies in their wholesale and nighbanded rais- fing of the tarilfs was very severely condemned. It Would be dificult to excuse the ratlroad com- panies for their domineering enterprise; but it had the good effect, at least, of showing that the ratiroad companies were only too anxious to join in with the big ulning companies aud help them in every way they could. It must not be forgotten that the osten- sible and even tbe avowed Object of the railroad companies Was’ to destroy the Workingmen’s Asso- ciation in the mining districts of Pennsylvania, which Was & most foolish movement, as thereby they incurred enduring enmity of every wade Bssociatton ali over the land, ‘The most diligent inquiries fail to probe THE CAUSES OF THIS COAL FAMINE to the bottom. That there are infleences at work which cannot be easily seen or detected is evident. There must be sume'hing more in the coup d'état than the breaking up of the Miners’ Union, whtch is simply ap impossibility. Wholesale dealers who, on Phureday, were more lavorabie to the interests of the couipany than to those of the men, in the pre- sent struggle, were yesterday, after seeing the cards of the m0u0polists Who ruled the Philadelphia con- vention, enthusiastic in benalf of the workmen.

The high price of coal in Paterson has created such a feeling of indignation against the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad that ears of an attack upon that company’s property Was appre- hended en Thursday night. The force of watch- men, fagmen, switch tenders, bridge tenders and other men employed along the wack was doubled, as a sort of guard to repel any atiempted attack that might be made upon the track or upon the trains. With coal at fourteen dollars ber ton in Paterson and thousands of tons passing through every day to supply Jersey Ciuly and New York at even a less price, It is no wonder that there was a dangerous feeling toward ‘We compauy on the part of the masses.

THE COAL OPERATORS’ ADDRESS. A History of the Difficulties Between Operators and the Workingmes—The New Basis to be Offered the Workmen. PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 24, 1871. At ameeting of coal operators to-day the following address to the public was adopted:— Systematic misrepresentations by Bflicers of the Working- men's Benevolent Association have rendered it necessary for the operators in the Schuylkill region to cail the attention Of the public to the facts in the matter, and to show as briefly as possible the causes which have led tnem finally to deter- mine on being masters of their own property. Omittin, many ‘imisunderstandings occurring previvus to the grand strike of April 1, 1870, we will endeavor to show how unrea- sonabie the men were at that tim ‘The basis of 1869 was on a sliding scale upward from three dollars at Port Carbon; that is to say, a rate of wages was fixed, based on coal being worth in the market three dollars per ton atthat point, The sizes taken in the average were ump, steam*oat, broken, egg, stove and chestnut; while pea, which constitutes @ ‘proportion of the production of colliery, was not permitt to be embraced in the Tage, because the price ruled so much below other sizes, nd only ten per cent of aggregate quantity was permitted to be estimated as chestnut coal. When that basis was fxed the prices of all necessary articles of living were much higher than in 1870, and in the general decline in market vaiues coal was not excepted. So soon, therefore, as production was fairly resumed in the spring of 1870 the price of coal fell much below three dollars, and an effort was made to so alter the basis as to have it le- cline as well as advance with the market. Our effort was treated with contempt, the committee of the Workingmen’s } Benevolent Association claiming that they wouls stop work when the price of coai went below their basis, and thus, by diminishing production, to so regulate trade that three dollars Ww ould be the minimum average at which coal woud be so.d. Pending this effort at an adjustment of wages tue collieries were stopped by order of the Workingmen's Benevolent As- fociation, on One and another pretest, with the consent of the owners, the edict of the committee of their association rendering It impossible to find workmen willing to incur their displeasure, During the entire existence of this asso ciation it has been impossible tor the operator to discharge from his employ any one of the members without 1s cer- tainly resujting 1 one entire suspension of all bis work. Whatever was the cause of dismissal operators would be waited upon by a committee of the branch association of the Workingmeu’s Benevolent } Association and be ordered to restore the workman to his former position. On the other hand, if an operator has in bis employ @ man bot a member of the association, or one who is 4 member and fatis to pay bis cues, on order of the Workingmen's Benevolent Association all t cease to work at that place and the at becessarily |: idie, The certain joss in working our collieries and sell | coal below the basis, while wages continue at tbat poln determinea us to insiston & new basis, rising and falling with the price of coai above and below three doliars in exact ra- | Go. The resuit was an entire suspension of work for over four months, and finally a compromise, on which resumption was effected on the following terms, Known as the Gowen | compromise :— Resolved, That we, the members of the Workingmen's Benevolent Assoctation, do offer to our employers of Schuyl- Kill county to start on the basis of 1869, when coal is worth three dollars per ton in Port Carbon. Resolved, That when coal brings $3 25 we demand 8\ per cent of an advance; $3 50, 16:9 per cent of ap advance; $8 75, 24%, per cent of ap advance; 84, 33 per cent of ap ad: vance. Resolved, That when coal fails below the basis of 1869, say to §2 76, we accept a reduction of 834 per cent; when to 82 OW, 1636 per cent; $2 25, 2434 per cent; $2, 33'per cent, and nothing lower. Resolved, That any miners working on contract, after they start, earning over $100 per month, be reduced 10 per cent; $125 and over, 20 per cent; $150 and over, 80 per cent; $200 per month, if there be any, 40 per cent. at ep Resolved, That the fers, ny shall be taken from six grades of coal, pea coal not included. Reaolved, That these resolutions be handed to Mr. T. B. Gowen, President of the Reading Rafiroad Company. JOHN SIREY, President. GronGE Conbetr, Secretary. With the following agreement, made at Pottsville the 2th of July, 1870, between the Committee of the Anthraci Board of Trade and the Committee of the Workingmen's Benevolent Association :— It js agreed that the Worxingmen’s Benevolent Association shall not sustain any man who is discharged for incom- petency, bad workmanship or bad conduct, or other good cause, and tl all DOt ee te any man or officer for actions or duses imposed upon him by the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association. It Ja further agreed that the spirit and intention of the re- Solution called the equalization resolution, passed by the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association, t each man shall work regularly, and it is the place of “bosses” and operators to see that he does, The resolution is that an} miner earning above expenses over $100 and less than #135 shall be redueed ven per cent on the basis; earning over $125 and under $150, shall be reduced twenty per cent on the basis; earning over $150 ang under to be reduced 30 per cent on the baste; earning over #200, to be reduced forty per cent on the basis. To obtain the price of coal monthly the Presi- dent ot the “Anthracite Board of Trade and the President of the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association of Schuylkill county sball meet on the 2/th day of each month and select five operators, who shall, onthe 25th inst, following, pro- duce a statement, sworn or affirmed to, of the prices of coal at Port Carbon for all sizes above pea coal. The five oper- ators ball be selected from a’ iist of those. ship- ping over 40,000 tons annually, and none sual! be selected a second time until the list is exhausted. The prices of coal so obtained shall ix the rates of wages for that month, and this agreement in regard to the mode of obtaining prices sball re- main in force ddring the year 1870.

The region started work on the 24 of August, but every ob- stacle was thrown in the way of their committee on the ad- | Qustment of wages based on the average sales of coal. was, however, continued during the balance of the courding to our agreement. at deal has been said and published in relation to the wages earned by miners and laborers under the Gowen com- promise. Day labor can be calculated by any oue, but earnings of miners under contract work cab only be arrived at from pay rolls, We have taken the trouble to get the earnings of the miners working by contract from the pai rolle of tve of the largest collieries in the region, whic show the following result :— Average per day for August in 1670, 8430 1-5 on $2 75 for coal. Average September, 170, $414 36 on #2 50 for coal. Average October, 1870, $405 1-5 on $2 50 for coal. hese men did not work more than an average of seven hours per das, and worked twenty-seven days in August, twenty-six in September and twenty-six in October, making average net earnings per man, after ull expenses are deducted, for Auguat at #115 88; September, 8107 79; Uctober, #105 3b.

By order of the Gene- ral Council that a mnsion took place on the lth of Janu- ary last. On the 2bth the delegates of the Workingmen's Benevolent Association in Schuylkill county passed the fol- Jowing resolution (No. 12):— That we, the workingmen of Schavikill county, do strictly adhere to the three dolar basis as long as those of Luzerne and Carbon work with us in good faith; if Luzerne and Carvon men do not work with Us 1n good faith, that we then make such agreement as will be best for our own welfare. This was in direct violation of their agreement of Novem- york between eos! opersiors, carrying romponics ‘and iasgs ‘ork between coal carrying companies ‘an consumers, resuiting finally in the adoption, on February 5 of the following resolutions.
