acouIdn,t. But They Did"

Everyone who uses coal was inter-
ested in the announcement of the
coal operators and allied railroads,
last spring, that the usual summer
reduction in prices could not be made
this year because of the advance in
miners wages And coal users were
more deeply interested in the an
nouncement made at the same time
that there would be no advance in
prices this fail. The recent procla-
nation of increased prices to take ef-
feet Aug. /, called forth the following
from the Washington TIMES:
we cannot arbitrarily advance the
plice of coal; you understand that very
well. The public viii not permit US 10

announced there would not be the

would be no summer rate, there
would be no reason for resuming

But now, despite the fact there has
