GOVERNMENT COAL YARDS.
Congress IL Riponing Action to Check
Coal Robbers.

Coal Robbers.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Senators and
the entire population OF Washington
are buying coal upon which profits
varying from 100 to 900 per cent are
charged. Rodical as the departure
may appear there is not much doubt
that the government will go into the
coal business If congress can find no
other way of breaking up the local
gang of coal robbers. All the local
dealers of the city of Washington were
summoned to appear before the senate
committee. They are asked individu-
ally as to how much they are paying
for coal and from whom they are get
ting supplies. There are enough coal
mine owners in the senate to know
just what these figures are If the
dealers do not tell the truth it is pro-
posed to summon the jobbers and dis
tributors. Step by step the coal is to
be traced from the furnace to the
mouth of the mine and every charge
fixed. Senator Stewart says that II
this measure does not break up the
gang, he will ask for an appropriation
of $4,000 which will be used to estab-
lish coal yard. From this yard the
coal will be sold to the residents OF the
District of Columb ia at actual cost.
In the mood that congress is in now
there is not much doubt that this bill
would pass II the local dealers persist
in charging the present exorbitant
prices for coal. The coal famine in
the district has had much to do with
the sudden agitation for trust legisla.
ton again.
Reports come that the municipality
o. Detroit has gone into the coal bust
ness, that other cities are thinking Of
SO doing and it is appreciated that the
anger against the fuel trusts must be
growing into storm. The president
has practically issued orders that there
must be trust legislation and that it
shall not be of the "wishy-washy"
kind The friends of the president are
holding over the congressional head
the threat that there will be an extra
session of congress unless the right
kind of trust legislation is passed.

A GRAND JURY IS CALLED.
To Investigate Alleged Conspiracy
ofCoaI Operators and Dealers.
AND THEY CONTROL MARKET.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. IA special
grand jury will meet in Chicago to in
vestigate the alleged conspiracy be-
tween certain coal operators and coal
dealers to increase the price of coal on
the Chicago market. Attorney General
Hamln will conduct the investigation
He took with him evidence which he
asserts will show that conspiracy
exists by which the price of coal on the
Chicago and other markets is kept up
The attorney general recently secured
The services of competent men whom he
sent to the mines along the. Chicago
and Alton road, and also other coal
producing regions, and the reports
which they have made convinced Mr..
Hamlin that the market is being con-
Lrolled by certain dealers and opera
tors The last report to be made to
the attorney general contained valua-
BILE information. While the attorney
general had not made public the in
formation with which he had been
furnished, he is not backward in
stating that it will be surprising when
1t is offered before the Cook county
grand jury. Before leaving for Chica-
20 he said that his evidence would
show that certain coal operators and
dealers, some who are interested in
mines and some who are not, had en-
tered into an agreement by which they
could control the coal market He did
not state that any of the railroads was
interested in the alleged combine, az
though he has also investigated on this
point Railroad officials state that
they lose no time in transporting coal
from the producing regions to Chicago,
but that the delay is caused by dealers
there not returning the empty cars in
due time. This furnished an important
point for the inquiry and on it several
interesting statements have been Sc
cured.
While the names of the list Of wit
nesses are withheld, it is known that
they are those of mine owners and
wholesale dealers in coal.
