WEIGHT OF COAL.-About this time every
year we notice ambiguous and irresponsible state
ments IN certain papers in regard to alleged dshon-
esty among dealers In coal, generally asserting IN
substance that certain Coal dealers give no more
than fifteen to eighteen hundred pounds of Coal for
a tun If there IS any real truth in these nslnua-
tons the people who profess 10 know 1t should
make i, manifest by prompt prosecution for the
Swindle If the charges false the dealers should
at once silence the calumny by demanding An nves-
tga,ion We are inclined to believe that the stories
are in the NAN false Ii hardly possible tha such
fragrant robbery, amounting 70 positive theft OF ~
TO % per cent could go on II Is certainly Impossible
that any considerable number OF our dealers are a
pabe of such acts.
