Philadelphia, Nov, 19.-Dec1arattons that the anthracite coal carrying roads discriminate against the independents shipping hard coal to the central west in favor Of the so-called railroad coal companies and that this alleged dis cr1minatiOn leads the independents to seek more profitable markets, thus ere ating an artificial shortage of the fuel in the fall and winter months, were made today at the interstate conn merce commission inquiry into anthra- cite freight rates. These were made by c. A. Eastman of the Eastman Barber company, which is also inter ested in coal companies in Indiana.

Michigan, certain points in Rli- nois and all lake points is g a ton, while the rate from the mines to Chi cagO is $1.75. He further testified that on account of differential in rates on coal going in the same direction with the same equipment and handled in every respect in the same way, there is a chance for manipulation of about 60 cents per gross ton. "As a shipper in Chicago" MT. Eastman said, "as long as we purchased anthracite coal from what Is known as the railroad coal companies.

Every five years there is enough land | in Connecticut going back to support ! city like Waterbury, New BritaAn, New London. Norwich and Danbsrry
 Since 1850. enough land in Con nec1cut has gone back to the uncuI- 1 t1yated condition to support, if prop erly cultivated, the present population
