That certain retail dealers Of
coal are being held up by certain
coal companies Of Seattle seems to
be the only reasonable conclusion
to be drawn from certain facts
which we're called to the attention
Of Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh
today.
The cold blooded facts are In the
nature OF figures obtained by two
retail dealers OF coal showing a
marked discrepancy between the
figures Of one OF the companies IN
der suspicion and those Of two
Weighing scale companies to whom
the several loads Of coal were taken
for veriication in the respective
weights.
How II Was Discovered.
Figuring on the basis Of 1000
pounds, which the retail dealers
thought they we're getting. on the
first load the figures Of the weigh
ing scale companies showed short
ages OF 100 and l05 pounds respect
lively; the second load. 30 and 80
pounds. third load. 100 pounds each.
and on the fourth. which showed
the largest discrepancy. a shortage
Of 200 pounds each.
The local dealers had suspected
for some time that they were being
robbed. and for that reason were
induced 70 make the tests, with the
above results.
Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh
will put forth every effort he says,
TO expose the guilty parties. and TO
