THE COAL TRUST
Its Position Made Much DtrsngsR by the
Decision OF Roosevelt's Arbitration
Commission

It's Position MADE NJ uch USronHoR Dy She
Decision Of Roosevelt's Arbitration
Commission
The fact is just beginning to dawn
upon a few editors that the coal trust
is now in a stronger position than
ever before and can continue to tax
the people millions of dollars each
year with perfect impunity. The COM
mission refused to take into .consii-
GRAFTON the question that the trust
was All illegal organization and ex-
listed in direct violation of the laws
and constitution of the state of Penn
sylvania and the laws Of congress, and
| by that course gave the trust semi
official authority which it never had
before.
Persons who suppose that the an
| thracite coal trust will bear the Erunt
of the 10 per cent advance in the
wages of workmen recommended by
the Roosevelt commission might as
well revise their conclusion. The re-
duction of so cents ton in anthracite
coal prices beginning with April will
still leave the price so cents ton
above the schedule one year ago.
When the strike began in May, 1902,
the average cost of labor to produce a
ton of coal was $1.3S. The 10 per cent
| increase in wages awarded by the
strike commission will amount to a
little less than IA cents ton. AS
against this increase of IA cents in
| the cost of the production of coal the
anthracite roads are receiving SO cents
ton extra for all the coal sold. This
gi1 es the roads profit of &c cents af..
tel allowing for the increased wages.
1t is believed~tAat-kh -kha~0utput of an
thracite coal this year will amount to
60, 100000 tons. The increased profit
of Sc cents a ton will, therefore, mean
an increased revenue of $21 600, 900.
The anthracite coal roads are clearly
in the strongest financial position they
have occupied for years.
The absurdity of the republican
claim that the authorities in that par
| ty intend to in any way interfere with
the trusts, is made manifest by the
way Baer and the coal trust has been
strengthened, and it is the most
wicked and inhuman of all the trusts.
AS we look back upon the havoc, mis-
cry and death that it has caused dur
ing the last winter and then reflect
that it is not only not to be inter-
fered with, but fostered and built up,
we may well forecast the treatment
that the other trusts will get at the
hands of the same party. The politi-
cal play in congress at trust busting"
will deceive no man who has common
sense.

VIRILE VAN VORHIS

Contributors

Editor Independent: AS your COL
umns were recently burdened with a
rather hastily penled criticism from
me, let me cucumber them now with
g. weil-considercd compliment.
| want to express just one readers
|sincere appreciation Of the excellence
of the communications you publish oc.
casionally from Flavius Van Vorhis
Of indianapolis, Ind. That writer is
among the clearest and strongest
ever read, and handles his subjects
with thoroughness that is very sat
isfying, and yet with brevity most
remarkable when the scope and pur-
pose of each article is considered.
The best evidence Of this superior
ity is, that after reading any one Of
the Van Vorhis communications the
average reader is Immediately and
clearly conscious of a fuller under
standing of the subject handled than
he had before.
So keen, careful, competent and
conscientious a writer on financial
subjects ought to be on the editorial
staff of some such great metropolitan
daily as the New York Journal. Just

clal writer's on the Otner great DALI
les. Most OF them apparently draw
their inspiration and their informa-
tion from that city's banking and
bond speculating centers, and they
write like oracles.
You can't blame them much, either,
for assuming So mitch In rortancc; be
cause, every time these mouth pieces
Iof the country's great financiers"
take snuff all the wise guys Of the
country press imms sdiately prepare to
sneeze in unison. IS
But if, whenever they had built
up some tremendous financial fiction,
with which to mystify the little bus
mess man, some trenchant writer like
Van Vorhis could plunk down the
plain, naked facts directly opposite
the effect would be, at least, extremely
interesting.
Here is a specimen of the kind Of
work I refer to, which | think 1t we'll
worth your time and space to repro
duce:
s'We have had one deception after
another concerning the purposes OF
proposed legislation ever since the
enactment of the bank law in the
SOS. Now We are told that one of the
purposes of the Fowler bill is to put
a certain burden of redemption upon
the national banks. 1t Is most
absurd and ridiculous proposition. The
whole national combination could not
stand alone ten days, If the assist
ance Of government money and the
10 1ynr W
it. To put any kind Of government
duty upon these banks can only re-.
suit in more exertion of government
powers to hold them up. 1t has been
quite a favorite assertion from those
who repeat, without understanding,
what bankers say, that the govern
ment should keep out of the banking
business.
Nevertheless, the eastern banking
interests have, for forty years or more
been scheming to place upon the
shoulders OF the government, the re-
sponsibility and burden of holding up
these banks, and titus holding off a
financial catastrophe. -.
"Tha interests that control the ma
tional bank combine demand that the
deposit loans from the government
shall not be decreased, and they have
manipulated the situation until Mr..
Shaw dare not decrease them. To do
SO would precipitate financial panic.
"While the bank situation is sucn
that it is essential TO the safety Of
many of them that these deposit loans
shall be continually increased, this
can only be done by continuing to
take out of the pockets Of the people,
by duties on imports, an amount
largely in excess of what is required by
the legitimate expenses of the govern
ment. Without such continuation of
import duties, Mr. Shaw would be
compelled to cease to increase such
loans. He might be required to de-
crease those already made The gov
ernment's responsibility for the ma
tional banks continually increases. In
stead of getting out of the banking
business we are becoming each year
more and more involved in 1t. We
are furnishing large part of the cap
ital and all the credit The entire
profits go to the banking corporations,
while the nation receives not one dol
lar in either profit or interest"
I thank The Independent for the
pleasure of reading it.

their credit be it said. almost every

all the editor wishes to avoid is hav-

the same point.
