AN OVER-PRODUCTION OF COA, DEMON- STRATED—AVONDALE AND PLYMOUTH COIr LOERIES STOPPED—EFFECT ON THE PROSPECTS OF THE STRIKE—THE COMBINATION OF THE MONOPOLISTS. WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 29, 1875. The coal business in this quarter presents a new and somewhat singular phase to-day, It has been fully demonstrated that the Delaware, Lack: awanna and Western Railroad Company and the Delaware and Hiudson Canal Company are pro- ducing more coal than can be conventently handled, To meet this embarrassment orders have been Issued to stop the Avondale mine, of the former corporation, and the Jersey colliery, of the latter, in Plymouth, to-night, Tunis action will add 200 or 300 miners and laborers to the ereat army of idlers in the Wyoming and tend materially to increase the depression and distresa already eXist- ing here. The announcement that more coal Is being mined than can be disposed of will have a crushing effect upon tie striking miners, and prove to them most conclusively that all hopes of the operators yielding last year's wages are futile. Some deem that tue movement check- ing prouwuciion by the great corporations alladed to is significant of an early resumption of work by the men i the Schuylkill, Leigh and Wyoming ‘This 1mpression is strengthened by the fact that tue Avondale and Jersey mines have been turnishing coal for the Reading Company, who recently discontinued their orders, prob- abiy m view of being able to obtain suficient supplies from their own colliertes, The prospects of the straggiing miners, thei elore. are becoming more and moe gioomy, and their situation manifestly more desperate. ‘Those who have been sastained py the fancy that the companies would be compelied, by force of public opinion and geveral demana for coal, to grant more remunerative terms to their employés, now see how inexorable is the iaw which governs sup- ply anddemana and how idle have proved all | their dreams of success, They aiso comprehend that capital can afford to wait, while struggling poverty sinks, little by little, beyond the powers of resistance. The men have simply been misled in regard Uc their own strength and the resources of their opponents tu the pr: it contest, and are now satistied that labor, lor this time, must go to the wall. It wil be sheer idiocy on the part of the miners to mainvain “a defiant attitude mucn longer under an illuston that they can force tuelr employers to raise wages on a {all- ing market, Eforts, however, are still made to keep up the dejusion that the men can yet carry their points, if they will only keep together and hold out longer. ‘'bis Kind of consolation is fur- nished by certain master spirits in tue strike, who have become aware that their former post- tions in the mines will be taken away when work is resumed, and hence they desire to hold on to outside support as long as possible. That no com- prowise will or can be offered by the coal ope- Tators is renaered apparent by the articles of con- federauon which govern the combination of wo- nopolists, The agreement between the six great coal producing and carrying companies piainiy maps out tue course to be pursued by each and designates the amount of coal to be mined by each No member o1 the com- provisions of the com- hot the slightest pros- pact, and pence there pect thatany concession will be made from the terms fixed upon by the monopolists last Decem- ber, COMBINATION OF THE COMPANIES. The companies whien have beea at work under | the reduction from last year’s wages to tne miners only carry out their part of the general programme, and when their quota of coai has been mined the Pennsylvania Coal Company Delaware, Lackawaona and Western roa Company, and the Delaware ana Hudson Canal Company, ‘ing coal enough for their customers, wiltake On & season of suspen nd leave their employés out im th of the Plymouth mine, it is believed, will effect to hasten resumption In the mines of t! Lehigh and Wilkesvarre Coal Company, ana le; to a general commencement: of work ta the regions now idle, to supply parties Who regularly obtain coal from those sections. Mr. Charles Parrish bas promisea bis men steady work for the remainder of the year, but d 3 also That ‘if Work 18 not begun until the 1st of August the company can readily furnish ail the coal needed by tneir customers. Thirty days’ steady work will bring the company to the stocking poimt, and Mr. George Parrish, Superintendent of the company, has been instructed to m: the stocking places ready for services, t0 meet any emergency which may arise after the men go into tae mines.
