The Price of Coal

II the Public Service Commission
can take cognizance OF the price OF
coal II will enter upon a fruitful field
for investigation. Mining coal may
not come within the purview OF the
Commission, but its transportation
certainly does, and the costs OF trans
portation are the most important fac
tor IN determining the price which
consumers must pay.
II has been one OF the unreoressed
grievances OF consumers that they
were helpless under the exacdons or
the coal "barons"--whoeve they may
be-and another has been the mex
orable law which has operated TO dou-
BILE or treble 10 the consumer any In
crease in the cost OF mining One OF
the most conspicuous instances or
the latter have been In connection
with the several increases in the
wages of the miners. An addition or
10 cents a ton for the miner has been
invariably followed by an addition or
25 cents a ton, or even more, TO the
bill OF the householder.
Now a new complication Is intro
duced by the State tax OF 2i2 per cent
per ton on the coal marketed. That
means a revenue OF perhaps cents
a ton TO the State. but the coal trade
recoups itself for this extra cost by
adding another % cents TO the retail
price.
No wonder the stocks OF the coal
carrying roads are growing daily
more valuablel The public Is long
suffering. but it will not long stand
this sort OF exploitation and II the
Public Service Commission cannot al
ford relief from this extortion. some
other and more drastic way Will have
