anthracit coal and more than SIS per
cent OF anthracite coal shipped each
year is in control of seven railroad
systems which monopolize the trans

Through interlocking directorates,
these railroads are bound together and
they act as a unit In controlling the
price of necessary kitchen commod-

an enormous profit through the unwar-
