Joseph s. Harris. who was president of

presidents of the coal-carrying roads when
an agreement was reached as to a divis-
sion of the tonnage of the anthracite re-
gion. The Reading was to have 2h per
cent of the business. That percentage was
never maintained.
There was no combination" Mr.. Harris
said. I'VE came to the agreement that II
we fought for tonnage we got no more than
II we just took what was coming to us and
so all decided to stop hghtlng,"

PROFITS, HOWEVER, SAID TO Be IN SIGHT

NEW YORK, June 9.-Hearing in the
investigation of the complaint of w. r.
Hearst against the coal-carrying roads was
continued before the Interstate Commerce
commission, when President Baer was re-
called by the commission and examined
by Commissioner Prouty.
In reply to the first question President
Baer said the charge on coal from the
anthracite regions tapped by the Reading
system to tide water is Sl.55 ton.
Thirty or forty years experience has
shown" said witness, that the coal can
not be carried for less. Notwithstanding
the enormous increase of traffic the cost of
transportation has increased The rates
have not increased, but the cost OF all
supplies, except steel rails, has advanced
within the last few years. In wages alone
on the Reading system the increase last
year was 81, 100000"

They forced the conductor and motorman
to go inside and while one went through

About $50 and several watches were
secured, no resistance having been offered.

Strike Losses Heavy.

During the strike, Mr.. Baer continued.
the Reading system lost more than $780,
0OO in anthracite freights In addition to
S515,0O which was made up BY an increased
tonnage of bituminous coal.
For nearly half an hour Mr.. Prouty
questioned witness as to the fiscal report
by the Philadelphia & Reading system and
its leased lines. Mr.. Prouty wanted to
know why a gross item of nearly $20O0, 900
was shown as Improvements" and asked
for details.
Witness said had he known the commits
sion wanted a detailed statement of ex-
penditures he would have had it made out
Mr.. Baer said some of his associates in
the company would be justified in charging
any price they could get for coal, but II
was not to their interest TO charge an un-
fair price. The Reading had not yet made
any money, but II they could maintain the
bottom price at $3.50 a ton for the price
basis sizes, they would be able TO pay :
per cent He doubted whether they could
increase the price another 80 cents a ton
as there were competitive conditions to be
met. There was some, but not a great deal
of competition between the carrying lines
He declined to agree with the opinion
given yesterday by former President OIL
phant OF the Delaware & Hudson that re-
cent troubles had increased the cost of
production of coal 80 cents a ton. He be-
lieved those figures too conservative. In
his Judgment the figure was nearly 40
