These increases and changes. il conced-

ducns anthracite coal. and 1t Is the con-
viction OF the operator that what is being
urged on behalf of the miners cannot In
any essential be granted, unless sub
stantial increase In the price of coal is
charged to the consumer, This, the oper-
ators believe, should, IL possible, be avoid

that control Of the revenues of the railways
of the country had been entirely taken out
of the hands of those charged with the
duty and responsibility Of their manage

control over this vital function that the
railways had. he declared, was that they
might reduce their rates and revenues upon
