Carrying Railroads, Exists In the
Anthracite Business, Who Dominate
the independent Mines AS Though
They Actually Own Them.
Philadelphia, Oct 80. - That the
price of coal of the Reading, which IS
the controlling factor in the great an
thracite business, is made by one man,
and that this man is George F. Baer,
head of the Reading railway, was
made evident by testimony given be-
fore Special Examiner Guilbert. IN the
suit brought by the United States gov
eminent against the anthracite roads
for violation of the Sherman antitrust
act
For weeks John G. McReynolds, the
governments special counsel IN the
case. has been slowly drawing the net
around the hard coal roads. His pur-
pose has been to show that a mo-
nopoly, controlled by one or more
master minds. exists in the coal bust
ness: that while there il "lndepend-
ent" coal the production OF almost al
of what are known as independent
mines is as absolutely under the domi-
nation OF the anthracite roads as II
the mines were actually the railroads
property.
He has directed his questions 10
show that through selling companies
themselves owned by the railroads.
the railroads absolutely govern the
volume of production throughout the
immense anthracite fields.
Robert ]. Montgomery. general coal
sales agent of the Reading Coal d
Iron company, was on the stand. he
had been testifying as to his relations
to the company, when Mr.. McReynolds
suddenly put to him this searching
question:
who determines the price of coal
charged by your company"
"Mr. Baer," was the reply, usually
after consultation with the vice presi-
dent, Mr.. Voorhees,"
Mr.. McReynolds endeavored TO ioi-
low I'D this advantage, but the lead
was suddenly closed. and the answers
that followed had little bearing upon
the question whic the government Is
endeavoring to make plain.
But it was made evident that the
dominating mind in this dominating
interest in the anthracite fields is
George F. Baer.
In view of the declaration, so often
repeated. that the Reading railway Is
not directly connected with the an
thracite business, this admission thai
the head of the railway determines. IN
his capacity as president of the Coal
& Iron company, the price of the coal
mined by this greatest of the anthra-
cite interests and so controls the whole
trade. was regarded as one OF the
most remarkable made since the gov
eminent began its proceedings.
Throughout, Mr.. McReynolds mas
sought to bring out the INTERROGATION
of all the anthracite interests, the fact
that the price Of one is the price OF
all. and that the same policy runs all.
