M'Leod Coup Forged in Rail Coal Pact With New England
President Fowler announced a coal traffic deal between the New York Ontario & Western and the New York & New England railroads. The arrangement covers about 500000 tons per year, with routes via Buffalo and the Grand Trunk, and includes New England access to western markets. Fowler denied any intention to exclude New England or form a combine against it, noting the alliance would also open New England's outlet to the West and enable coal distribution across its territory. The Ontario & Western will route coal from its leased Ontario Carbondale & Scranton line through the New England connection via the Poughkeepsie bridge.

Foremen from the McCormick and Norfolk breweries describe washing and rinsing methods, the risk of cyanide presence, and the difference between their processes and others.
