AGITATING
CHEAPER COAL
Wilmington Working People Pay
Big Price for Fuel.
REASONS ARE GIVEN
Suggestion Made That the Labor

ness and Sell to Work.
ing People.

Owing to the fact that coal can be
bought in Philadelphia and several places
in the lower part of the State cheaper
than it can be purchased in Wilmington,
Il number Of people here are agitating tie
question of the Wilmington Labor League
taking up the matter and going into the
coal business on the cooperative basis.
1t is suggested that the league could
rent property, put up sheds and deliver
the coal cheaper than it is sold here to-
day.
for sometime the working people of the
city have been forced to pay fifty cents
more ton for their coal than people
IN the neighboring cities. The Whining
ton Coal Dealers Exchange regulates
the price of the fuel in Wilmington. With
one exception every coal dealer in the
oity is a mmber of the exchange.
Several coal dealers We're seen last
evening and asked why the price Of coal
was higher here than in other places III
this vicinity One dealer said that the
railroad companies charged fifteen cents
more a ton to deliver the coal in Wit
mington than to deliver it in Philadal
phia That is one thing he said that
makes the price greater here. Another
reason is that the city is very hilly and
not more than two tons can be put on
wagon at one time. In Philadelphia
'our tons can be carried. He said that
The combination of dealers was not form
d to put the price of coal up but to 50.
that all the dealers gave the correce
weight and to guard against beats.
The excuse given for the fact that
oal can be bought cheaper in towns
lown the State is that the railroad COM
anies discriminate against Wilmington
IL regard to freight rates and that it
locs not cost as much to deliver the fuel
u the small towns because the hauls are
smaller.
i.eSpite these excuses it is held that
he Lahol League could sell coal at least
fifty cents a ton cheaper than the price
low charged.
