the cause of the present high price of
coal. The coal strike. as everybody
knows. affects only anthracite or
hard. coal. On this kind of coal there
is not one cent of duty and it has been

It's price remains normal. There is no
more relation between the tariff and
the strike which makes coal so high nj
