or allotment of them was tentatively
agreed upon. The tentative percent
age agreement had no reference what
ever to the amount of coal any opera
tor was free to mine. There was no
intention to reach any of the output,
but to settle the trouble arising from
the impression of the Independent op-
orators that the roads were favoring
their own mines. Mr.. Thomas said
that unrestrained 6nd unrestricted
competition was one of the worst evils
to which the country could be exposed.
The witness was asked If he so con
Quoted his road as to avoid competi-
tion of that sort and he replied he had
not been successful in conducting his
road so as to avoid such competition.
The witness said there could be no
comparison between hard ccal and
soft coal rates. Commissioner Glenn
ents asked if a new independent op-
orator would be on an equal footing
as regards getting his coal to market
as the other operators. and Mr.. Thom-

a new investor would be able to To-

new coal mine investors would be well
