other dealers who are in the organiza-
ton to prevent cut throat methods.
In fairness to the dealers, who admit
they have an organization, their rea-
sons for higher prices than prevail
elsewhere, are given. The dealers
claim that it costs approximately fiji
teen cents a ton to unload car or
coal. Further more. their shipments
of coal are very large and it is often
impossible to unload upon the cars ar
rival, with the result that 81 per day
track demurrage is charged by the rail
road companies. The expense of labor
to the companies is also larger in pro-
portion than it is to the dealers in the
small towns, they state.
The small town dealers, however,
state that when the total expense 10
them is taken in consideration, the
cost per ton is approximately the same
as 1t is to the local dealers. 1t is ad-
mitted by the dealers in the small
towns that farmers often haul away
the coal from the car. but the prices
above given, are those charged to the
consumer when the coal is delivered.
What Freight Rates Are.
The freight rates to the dealers OF
Cambridge City, Greensboro and Cen
terville, are higher than to local deal.
ers, ranging from five to fifteen cents
according to the distance away from
the mine.
Local dealers endeavor to make 4
profit of one dollar ton according to
a local dealer. Outside dealers claim
they operate their business on the
same principal of profit.
The Independent company of this
city says it can sell its hard coal
cheaper because it is not affiliated
In the organization. One of the Off
cials of the company said that the 9TH
er local dealers had an understanding
although probably not in an actual
combine. This official claimed that
the company purchased its hard coal
of an Independent mine and could
thereby sell 1t cheaper.
Other dealers jumped on this state.
ment with both feet. They said that
they handled the same kind of hard
coal, but sold it only for range pur-
poses. They claim the grade Of hard
coal sold at 81 ton can be crushed
in the hand, and is known as SEMI
anthracite. Genuine anthracite can
not be broken in such manner, they
claim.

Proposition Presented for Ex-

In the North End During the
Fall Festival.

William N. Pollard, representing a
carnival company at Cincinnati was
present at the meeting and submitted
contract for the showing of the car
nival in the North End during the fes-
tival. The matter was taken under
advisement and special committee,
consisting of Charles Morgan, Edward
Harris and John Perkins will meet to-
night with Mr. Game, chairman Of the
North End Business Mems club, and
Mr.. Pollard. for the purpose OF coming
to an understanding in the matter.
and with the view of considering the
advisability of securing the attraction
for that section of the city.
A row of seats placed in a three-tier
bank will be placed, probably along
both sides of North Tenth street from
Main to A in position SO that those
standing behind can easily see over
persons seated on the benches. The
seats can De DullI 8L very little expense
and it was decided not to secure the
seats from the Cincinnati firm. as was
the original intention. 1t was sug-
eested that the bleachers at the Athlet-
IL park could probably be used to ad-
vantage.
Places OF Exhibition.
1t was decided to place the grain and
vegetable exhibit in the Pythian Tenn
pie, the dogs and chickens at the mar
