PITTSHURO, Pa.. Sept. 3. Tho Post' will
say: All tho coal mining companies of
Pennuylvnnla, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, 'West Virginia and Kentucky nre to
be consolidated Into one great corporation
by tho J. P. Morgan syndicate.
The enormous proportions of this corpora
tion can hardly he realized. The fact that
the Pittsburg Coal company, with Its cap
ital of $01,000,000, nnd tho Monongahela
River Consolidated Coal nnd Coko com
pany, with Its capital of $30,000,000, arc to
be Included In the greater consolidation,
brings tho matter strongly before Pittsburg
coal operators. These two corporations
practically control all the output In tho
Pittsburg district nnd extend their opera
tions well down toward West Virginia In
two directions. Officers of these companies
nre expecting to attend n meeting of the
coal opcintors In Now York on Thursday
of next" week, nt which tho preliminary,
steps toward the formation of tho greater
combine will be taken. Other Interests
that will ho represented from the Pennsyl
vania fields will bo from tho Herwlnd
Whlto company, tho New Fairmont Coal
company, nnd a large mimber of smnll
corporations of this ring. Still other In
terests to bo represented will bo Ohio, Illi
nois, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky,
where for tho last two months movements
have been on for the consolidation of these
states Into state corporations.
ItnllronilH lluvu it riimrr In It.
Tho railroads ore nlso taking a keen In
terest In tho project and, owing to tho
Morgan Interests predominating In that
field, the consolidation Is looked upon as
being unusually strong. The Pennsylvania
Railroad company, the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad company nnd western roads under
tho Morgan lnlluence nro associated, It Is
said, In tho great movemonLjuhlch prom
ises to rlvnl lii-1mpnrtnnce B recent or
ganization of tho United Stores Steel cor
poration. '
Tho plans for the consolidation have been
going on quietly for somo months. The plnn
of notion Is snld to have been Hrst to get
iho minor corporations of ono state and nil
the Individual operators ns well Into one
company, on 'the samo baBls ns the Pitts
burg Coal company. After this hnd been
accomplished tho intention was to group
all the companies and control them by a
parent corporation ns a stock owning com
pany only.
The combination of the Ohio fields Is said
to have been brought Into fairly good shnpe.
Tho ImlJana fields and those In Illinois are
also In form for tho flnnl move, as recent
corporation plans thcro have brought tho
many Individual coal Interests together. In
Kentucky tho plan Is still In an ombryotlc
state, but u company has been planned with
it capital of $10,000,000 to talco up nil tho
coal mines there.
Went Vlru;lnlii llnrileitt to Ilnntlle.
Tho West Virginia fields nre perhaps tho
most difficult to handle, owing to their loca
tion and varied ownerships. It Is Bald that
tho promoters nave practically abandoned
UOi plan ot including the .Pocahpn.tqs 'field
in tho general plnn for tho greater trust.
Mr. Bacon, one of the actlvu. partners of
Mr. Morgan, hns been spending several
weeks In West Virginia during tho past
summer and early spring, getting options on
much coal property. The total holdings
tu that state arc said to bo largo nnd nBtdo
from tho Pocahontas fields nnd that portion
In tho Flat Top region ombrnco all avail
able lat.ds a lid much that will bo held In
reserve for years.
Tho completion of the project will mean
the consolidation of from $200,000,000 to
$300,000,000. This will represent not only
tho undeveloped properties In tho six states,
but also tho actual coal properties under de
velopment. There nro millions of acres ot coal lauds
that Mie greater trust will hold In rescrvo
for future use, while Its present working
properties will bo sufficient for a vast In
crease In the development, of tho coal trade,
not only In this country but In tho South
American countries and in Europe.
