reach in rar conpetitiou without making
sacrifices he WAS willinc to meet nil ench
spccial cases. and to io,n them in mutual
concession. and thus meet the emergency.
Mr. Hyde said this was Just what the com
mittee had endcayorcd to do. they had
stated in their communication to Mr. Dixon
that under the prcscntra of his company
they were unable io con,uctr for any con-
siderable norton Of the trade of the west.

Questioned by Mr.. weed DO you take
coal from the company because you can
get 1t cheaper?
a. Certainly. They monopolizc all the
business, having control OF the means OF
transportation
-, nave tricd at times TO purchase coal at
Troy, but when come to add to the lowest
price was able to get at that market, the
cost OF transportation over their road ]
Iouho thelr price the lowest.
=. " Is IL not TACT mat Inc company de-
MYERS coal AT all points along the Inc about
twenty per cent cheaper than you could

often noticed reports of sales at Rondout
and am of opinion that all coal at that
point, of the same quality. has the same
market value. that the simple reason whv
the Delaware & Hudson canal comnonv
can and do sell their coal along the line OF
their road is. that they own their own
means of transportation and can nut such
rates on coal of other parties as to prevent
the sales of any other coal on the line.
Q. The difference in price between HYDE
willie and Whitehall is but twenty cents n
ton. is it not, and vet the freight between
these two points is 81 60?
A. The difference in price is more than
that, | think. | know if | bnv coal at
Whitehall it costs considerably more than
that difference when | ret il TO Uydevillo
| had occasion few days since 10 buy n
small quantity of size that was not on
hand at the agency at VAUDEVILLE. | ordered
1t from Whitehall, and the freight charges
on that for / miles was 81 80 per ton.
