LAST STRAW IN COAL. BUSINESS,
(From tho Philadelphia Reoord)

1t would have been good business pol
Icy as well as a policy of beneticence If
the gentlemen fixing the wholesale prices
of anthracite coal should have resumed
operations In their mines without attempt
ing to make consumers pay an advanced
price for an article of prime necessity of
which the owners have practical mo-
nopoiy. 1t would have been bad enough
to add to the cost of coal the 5l-2 per
cent increase In wages. 1t Is an outrage
to make the advance In wages the pretext
for a still greater advance In price.
The inordinate profits of the anthracite
coal carriers can neither be concealed nor
justified Whatever measures may be
necessary either upon the part of the
State authorities. or upon the part of the
federal government. having control of In
terstate carrying. to enforce Il square
deal between anthracite mine owners and
carriers and the purchasers OF anthracite

monopoly has pursued policy of ruthless
extortion for years. overriding or evadinr
