Free Coal.

In paper prepared for the West
Virginia Mining Association on the Ia
iff on coal Mr.. Charles NJ. Barnett,
president of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Coal & Coke Co, presents facts indi-
eating clearly the danger to many int
ests of the country in the proposition
of reciprocity in free coal between
the United States and Canada. Ho
ppoints out that advocacy of this re-
ciproCity is practically continued to
the coal operators of Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio, and that
opposed to it are the following
facts.
1t will reduce American customs
revenue without benefit to American
industries
1t will paralyze the industries of
West Virginia, and will hurt other
districts.
1t will ruin coal operations of Mon
tana, Washington, Wyoming.
West Virginia Goals cannot success
fully compete in New England against
Nova Scotia and foreign Goals COM
ing in duty free.
The Gripping of West Virginia coal
shipments to New England will, In
turn, jeopardize supplies of Emokeless
Goals for American Navy needs
Reciprocal free trade with Cana
da will seriously handicap American
coast-wise fleets.
1t will jeopardize the large invest
ment made in and on the Virginian
Railway.
1t will ruin investments in vessels
engaged in coastwise trade and inl
piers in New England erected and
equipped to handle West Virginia
Goals.
Against these facts. upon which he
Celebrates very fully, Mr. Bennett
cites the comparative absence of de-
mand on the part of the people of
the country for free trade in coal, end
says that the demand of few favored
companies should not weigh against
the large interests whose existence IS
dependent upon a reasonable and uni
form duty being maintained on all
grades of bituminous coal.-Manufac-
turer's Record.
