Montreal, May 2--Alexander Dick, general sales' 'agent of the Dominion Coal company, was in Montreal, to- doy, and was seen regarding the dis- pute in connection with the coal eom- pany's Boston contract. "What have you to say about Mr. Plummer's statement that the coal eompany is selling coal in Boston at a lower prive than that paid by the steel company *"' "Mr. Plummer," said Mr. Dick, "ap- parently does not understand the con- tract with the New England Gas com- pany. The coal supplied the gas com- pany is coal that the steel company absolutely refuses to accept. It is gas slack, which the steel company officials say they camnot use. It is, therefore, most unfair to criticise the coal com- pany for marketing in Boston cgal which the steel company would not bay." WOLFE ISLAND NEWS. The High Water Has Closed the ' Canal Traffic.
