Monday they opened up at LeSuer

before we did. The rain came down

The New York World has the fol-
low, to throw light upon one OF the
latest and most gigantic combines:
The Reading combine Monday be-
gan a firm and relentless enforce
mert of it's increase in the price of an
thracite coal, both free on board, at
tide-water, and for the West. That
the new prices--25 cents advance on
domestic and Is cents and 10 cents
for steam sizes-are to be exacted
without the slightest remission was
sufficiently shown by the fact that
Reading Coal and Iron Company i'm
mediately cancelled all untitled orders
for coal at the old prices and an
nouced that all new contracts would
be booked for May at only the new
prices"
At the time of the Reading combine
was contaminated it was stoutly
maintained by the combines and
their advocates, that this "associa-
ton" would not influence, in the
least, the price Of coal-that it was
merely to Facilitate business" No
one believed the assertion, although
some of heplutocratic sheets seemed
to swallow the hook. Gov. Albeit,
of New Jersey, has directed the At
torney-General to investigate the
Reading coal combination, with a
view to crushing the conspiracy in
the courts of New Jersey if it is found
the State has the power.
