EDITORIAL OPINION
The Extortioners

From the New York Tribune.
Severe things have been said OF Mr..
Baer, president OF the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company. To some
of them his own utterances. under the
pressure OF conditions which he did not
foresee and too long neglected to
norance and in viii have accounted for
deal with, justly exposed him,while ig-
others. But whatever Mr.. Baer's faults
OF speech aud conduct may have been,
there are few persons who will not
heartily endorse this part. at least, OF
his statement at the Mayors meeting
yesterday:
In general, It is true that the seller
has a right to get the highest market
price for his goods but this rule ought
to be modified as to food and fuel, in
times Of great Distress, when a decent
respect for the necessities Of mankind
should restrain the seller from taking
more than normal legitimate profit.
IL seems impossible to escape the
conclusion that there are men I'M the
coal business who do not recognize this
moral obligation. but are eager TO make
an UNUSUAL profit out of the opportu-
nifty which short supply gives them.
Mr.. Baer declares that the COM
,panies he represents have not
taken and will not take that
course, and their price Of S. ton in
New York harbor. though\ more than
they have charged in former years
nay. under present conditions, be con-
sidered TO justify his assurance. Other
lcompanies have adopted the same posi-
tion and are entitled to equal credit
Since the suspension Of contracts Will
1.-THE carrying companies independen
loperators have been charging as mucl
as sS and $40 a ton. but we believe
their plea is that they are compelled
to buy coal where they can and pa.
what is asked in order to fulfil thei
own obligations. So 1t goes, and no
body is able clearly to identity an ex
tortioner and produce him at the bai
Of public opinion.
