President Baer's View.
George F. Baer, president of the Read
ing companies, speaking Of the decision
of the Supreme Court, said today:
THE decision Of the Supreme Court
sustains the company dhe Reading), with
the exception of the 81 per cent contracts
and the holding of the Temple Iron Com
pany stock. 1 have always been indiffer-
ent to the contracts. They were made 10

join in the settlement OF the strike OF
1902 They were never satisfactory to
me. because in times of dull trade we
have had to take the operators coal and
store il, and in times of activity the OPP
orators have taken their coal and have
done as they pleased about delivering 1t
under the contracts.
In regard to the possibility of benefits
to accrue to local coal consumers, none
of the large dealers in Washington was
inclined to make any statement today,
although all expressed the belief that no
reduction i'm anthracite prices is to be
expected this winter. The dealers were
united i'm expressing the opinion that the
effect of the decision on local conditions
is extremely roblematical, and not one
of the dealers questioned was willing to
be quoted i'm anything approaching a def
mite statement.
