corresponding increase in the selling price
of their product 10 the consumer, and have
accused the mine workers OF suggesting
proposition that would impose a hardship
on the public by increasing the market
price OF coal 10 cents a ton, the amount
that would have been required to meet all
the demands made by the miners; however.
their sOlicitude for the public veal has not
deferred them from advancing the market
price OF their coal more than one dollar
per ton since the strike was inaugurated.
without giving any part of the increase to
the mine workers. In substantiation Of our
claim that the coal companies can afford TO
pay increased wages to the mine workers
without increasing the cost OF coal to the
consumers we submit the following ex-
tracts from the government reports, show
ing the selling value Of coal loaded on cars
at the mines for the eleven years beginning
with 1901:
The average home value OF all coal mined
and sold during this period was s14S per
ton, while press bulletin recently issued
by Charles D. Walcott. director Of the
United States geological survey, says that
for the year 1901 the increase in the value
OF the anthracite product received at the
mines showed a gain of s27.745.169 or more
than 81 per cent over that of 1900. The av-
erage price for the marketed anthracite
coal. that is. the product shipped TO market
or sold TO local trade, was S1.S7, the highest
figure obtained since 1855
In other words, while. according 10 Pres
ident Olyphant. 13 cents per ton represents
the operators increased cost Of production
IN 1901, 50 cents per tomas compared Win
1900-represents the increased value OF the
product 10 the operators. In view Of the
fact that this enormous increase in the
selling price Of coal has been extorted from
the consumers by the Coal Trust. can any
one say that the demands of the miners for
a small portion OF the increased wealth
their labor has produced are unreasonable
unwarranted?
ABLE TO PAY LIVING WAGES.
Further evidence of the ability of the coal
mine operators TO pay increased wages is
found in the sworn testimony of Mr. John
Markle. managing partner OF the G. B.
Markle Coal Company. This firm operates
three mines in the Lehigh region, and Is
known as an independent operator In the
