CANADIAN DUTY on COAL.

MINING INTERESTS NORTH OF THE BORDER MAKE
A PLEA FOR HIGHER RATES
Montreal. March i2-W s. Fielding Minister NJ
Finance. was this afternoon waited upon by q dcp-
utation representing the Canadian coal mining in
terests. who urged the necessity OF maintaining II
not increasing the present duty coal. They also
urged that the duty should apply 10 anthracite
coal. whi,h is now imported duty free from the
United States and IL pointed out that the
United States is about TO increase largely it's coal
duty with n view 10 excluding Canadian coal a
moderate quantity of which IS imported into
the United States.
Mr. Fielding In reply said the policy OF the pres
ent Canadian Government tended toward n reduc-
ton o. duties rather than increase. They still
desired move in that direction unless events on
the other side OF the line made it impossible. He
did not think they ought to proceed on the as
sumption that 1t is the intention or the American
Congress to increase the coal duty. The fact that
the present Canadian duty on coal IL considerably
her than the American duty has already been
used 10 Canada's disadvantage AT Washington. and
lean duty should be raised. The Canadian Cow
eminent was disposed to proceed In the line OF a
reduction II the Americans were willing to do what
Is fair II the American coal producers Interested
in holding the Canadian market would bestlr them
selves the increase OF the American duty might
not be made II, however the United States duty
was raised high figure, then the Canadian
Government would feel bound 10 impose a duty not
only on bitumnous coal. but also anthracite
coal They much preferred. however, to move in
might occur at Washington to prevent the carry
ing out OF their desire.
