Charge to Consumer Is Based
ON COStliest Ton.
GEORGE F. BAER TESTIFIES
President Of Reading Railway In Unit
ed States Suit Declares There is No
Agreement to Regulate Prlces-says
He Prevented Bigger Raise After
Strike In 1902.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2s. - Sweeping
denials of the allegations made by the
government in its suit against the an.
thracite roads, charging conspiracy in
restraint OF trade and to control the
price of a necessity, were made by
George f. Baer, president of the Read
ing railway.
For four hours Mr.. Baer was on the
stand, and most of the time was occu-
pied by him in explaining and inter
preting the policy of the road con-
corning the anthracite trade He de-
clared the different coal roads have no
agreement to regulate prices.
The proceedings, which were con-
tinued before a master, we're held in
the federal building. For several
months these hearings have been in
progress, either here or in New York.
and President Baer's appearance has
brought the testimony near TO close.
Says He Prevented Bigger Raise.
Mr. Baer declared, most important
of all, that 1t had been he who wanted
to hold down the price of coal after
the strike in 1902. when rapacious op-
Grating interests were eager to ad.
vance it to the full limit of what the
public would bear. After the strike.
Mr.. Baer said, 1t was figured that at
least rs cents ton should be added
to the price to the consumer, in order
to cover the additional cost, including
the advance in wages.
But Mr.. Baer wouldn't let more than
so cents ton to be added. he said.
The operating profits on the mining
of anthracite, Mr.. Baer declared, are
20 cents a ton to the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal and Iron company. No
inquiry was made by the government
as to the extent of the profit made by
the railroad on the hauling of the coal.
Mr.. Baer enunciated. in the course
of his testimony, one remarkable law
which he declared to be an invariable
law of economics. This was that the
price OF the entire supply OF any com
modify to the community will be regu-
lated by the cost of production of that
portion OF the whole supply which Is
produced at the greatest expense. And
he reasoned that the cost of anthra.
cite production being highest in the
Schuylkill region. the cost there must
regulate the price of all anthracite TO
the consumer
Inferentially. he argued that the rea-
son all anthracite is up to the high
rOarlz fxad nv conditions IN tha
Schuylkill region, is that other oper-
ators take advantage of this to obtain
like prices, although their cost of pro
duction is considerably lower. Wheth-
er this would be true only where there
was a combination. was one of the
many questions that Attorney Mercy
nolds did not ask.
