TIE COAL COMBINATION,

The proposed combinations OF railroad and
coal companies in Pennsylvania, to increaso tho
price Of coal, threatens to become very serious.
There is already IN advance in each cargo Of 50
cent? per ton oyor last years rates, and the fur
thor. proposed advance begins to cxesto ALARM
The corporations which haEe gone into this
combination are the Philadelphia g. Residing
Railroad Company, the Delaware Il Hudson
Canal Company. tho Delaware, Iackawanna d
Western Railroad Company, the Wilkesbarre
Coal Company, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company, aud the New Jersey Central Railroad
Company. The Phi1adelphis d Reading Railroad
Company inaugurated this movement, BY
procuring the passage Of an sct, at the .lsst
session OF TIE Pennsylvania Legislature,
giving it the right to own and work coal mines.
During the last year, the Company expended
orer 10000, 600 in buying the controlling in
terest in collieries producing 100000 tons Of
coal annually, and now they have made prop
osition to tho owners Of the remaining col
liorios, producing 242 900 tons, to combine with
them. At last accounts, the proprietors Of col
ieries not under the control Of the Company
were determined to resist the continuation and
regulate prices for themselves. The Reading
Company, by means Of their double rail-
road, now threaten to raisa the cost Of trans-
portation, and throw other obstacles in the WAY
Of the recalcitrant collicrs..
The Importance Of this movement grows out
Of the fact that it affects about IL, ,0o0 600 tons
Of anthracite coal The Company own oyer
$4,000 acres OF anthracite coal fields and ninety
eight collieries situated upon their property.
The tonnage Of the lands laat year was ,o30, $50
tons, and e946,774 were derived from rents,
but this rear the Company Hi1 work maor of

them. Nj. Franklin B. McGowen, the Presideu1
Of the Reading Company, who is the originate,
OF the scheme, offers, as his defence for the
combination to 1aiae the price, Tint the demand
for 1878 will greatly exceed that OF last year
owing to the increase Of blast furnaces the
opening Of new markets by railroad
extensions where wood has been uged
heretofore, and orders from England
growing out Of the high; price Of coal in that
country. The apology is very plausible one,
but the public will be very slow to accept it.
They will regard this combinations in tho same
Light es the recent oil combination. IN Penusyl-
Taa'a, the wheat corners Of THE city, md the
STOCK corners in New York, k,-14otEing moro nor
less than an attempt On the pfrt OF wealthy cor
porat1ons to still further enrich themselves, by
monopolizing certain pro duet, and then fixing
the price of it, without reference to the law OF
supply and demand.
1t is doubtful whett. .er any sncl combination
can seriously disturb, the coal trade or Ieep
prices permanently above u price which yields
a fair rate Of profit. If this combination should
succeed in maxim & anthracite coal too expensive,
then people can md will use bituminous coal, Of
which this COT lntry produces about ss,ooo, GOO
tons annual1'j. The present production, it is
statea, Is sJready largely in excess Of tho de-
mand, and rs new mines are constantly being de-
7eloped, the over-product promises to be very
large. This would be q check upon the combi-
nato1A to control anthracite COAL and it is proGa
bly, tjne which. wuuld be brought into immediate
use. But there is a more enectual
Check than this, and one which will
mot only hreak the present combination,
but prevent al such combination in future. Let
Congress removetthe duty On coal, and the we'll
laid achemes Of the extortionists will collapse at
once, and the cos1 trade will resume and retain
3 healthy conditipn. Nova Scotia exports coal
to this country Repeal the duty, and all New
England can get'its coal Of Nova Scotia at q
reasonable price. The combinations Of Pennsy1-
yania mouqpolsts will be made impossible, the
people can thye cheap conl, and dealers Who are
not proprie tary will not be left at the mercy OF
the great railroad. and coal corporations. Tho
necessity for suck action ia made all the more
urgent b : the present action Of the Reading Com
pany, which, by tile free use Of money where
it is OF AVAIL and of coercion whero it Is not, s
seekine.t to absorb the coal product Of Pennsyl-
vanis, i anti hold tho consumers at it's mercy In
doirg this, these combining Companies are at
ternpting to work.a National hardship, and there
is. every reason, therefore, why the National
Legislature ahoald interfere to prevent it. This
can DO done by the repeal Of tho duty, which,
under any circumstances, is but an act Of simple
relief. Any measure which cheapens prices and
mskea'monopolies impossible would be hailed
with delight by the people.
