cate OF such movement from the start

lines but his suggestion was voted down.
Mr. Bulkley also presented an interest
ing report as TO the conditions which he
found in the soft coal regions Of Vir-
ginia. West Virginia and Kentucky. HIS
report indicated that there was an abul-
dance of coal available at the mines. and
that it was simply a matter Of the ability

/ dealers Of the city. was present al the
meeting last night and volunteered TO
furnish any information regarding the
coal situation in Washington that the
committee might desire. K. F. Andrews
wanted TO know why soft coal was sell
ing at $3.50 a ton in Louisville and at s.
and IS In this city when the freight rate
is only $3.50 Mr. Zeh's explanation was
that IL was purely a matter OF supply
and demand and that In this city the
Philadelphia market largely fixed the
price Of both kinds Of coal.
