oyer-charging, but the fact is that the
price Of powder Is part Of the con-

sThe assertion has been made that
the Lehigh region operators get S250
a ton for coal at the mine. 1t Is figured
that the coal, mined, broken, cleaned
and deposited in the cars. costs not
more than $1.2O ton, leaving a profit
Of $1.30 ton.
'Now, these figures are based on the
circular price for the larger sizes OF
coal, which Is $3.50. But 1t Is neces-
sary also to take into consideration
pea coal at $1.20, and buckwheat at
seventy cents. 1t will then be found
that the average price Of the colliery
is not more tnan $1.S9 a ton. Then,
too, In the estimate of the cost OF

are left out of consideration as the
cost of hauling to the breaker, the
