Wilmington householders will pay
not more than ST - a ton for coai
this winter. if President Baer. Of the
| Reading Railroad company, has bis
way Mr.. Baer, in an official circular,
which, by the way has not been re,
ceiVed by the local dealers, according
to Joseph H. Gooding, but which ap-
plies 70 the local trade, has practi =
cally fixed this price, and intimates
that the Reading will furnish coal
only to dealers who are willing to sell
it to the public at reasonable prices,
and that should dealers attempt to
obtain an unfair profit the Reading
will 60 into retail business and supply
the public directly. The list price
to retail dealers is advanced 50 cents
ton.
This announcement by President
Baer was given out last evening
after he had made a hurried trip to
New York and back. Mr.. Baer was
in his office at the Reading Terminal
Philadelphia, until 10 o'clock, and
then left for New York. 1t is under
stood that while there he was in CON
sultation with J.P Morgan and with
the Presidents Of the other coal
rolds. and that Mr. Baer's price
circular was approved. 1t adds 50
cents ton to the circular price pre-
vailing before the strike, but fixes
the advance to continue only until
January l, 1908.
PRESIDENT NAER's STATE MENT
The Official statement sent out by
the Reading Company is as follows:
Presidents Once, Reading Ter.
minal, Philadelphia, Octobsr %,
1902.
Mr.. C E. Henderson. General
Manager, Dear Sir; The reports of
the superintendentS in charge Of the
mines show that, as result OF the
strike, the mines and minin. plants
have sustained considerable in njurv,
and their respective working organ
izations have been impaired. For
Soiue Tune 10 CJlle tllc COllletieS can |
not be worked to produce their aver.
age quantity Of coal. This WI, in.
crease the cost Of production. Es,i. .
mates have been submitted, showing
the probable increase in cost per ton
at the several groups Of coilleries.
The general average exceeds 50 cents
per ton.
You will there fore, add to the .
circular price 80 cents per ton, this
additional price to continue until .
the 1st Of January, 1903, by which
time we hope to reach a normal CON
ditlon of mining and production.
Notwithstanding tho fact that,
during the strike, no coal was sold .
by our company at an advance over
the circular price, the price has
been unreasonably advanced to the
public by some retail dealers. In
the distribution Of the coal, there
fore you will, 50 far as practicable,
supply the dealers who are willing
to sell coal to the public at reason
able prices. Where dealers seek to
obtain an unfair profit from
the public, you will promptly
take steps to supply the reasonable
demands Of the public directly.
Yours truly,
