The union labor movement has
been the means OF most of the reforms

j. 5. TO INVESTIGATE
RISE IN COAL Prices
Federal Trade Commission,
With Corps of Experts,
Begins Work Today
Proceeds THE BIG
ANTHRACITE SUIT

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-As part
Of the government case against the
Reading Company, the Federal Trade
Commission today began with a corps
Of experts. an investigation into the
high price OF coal and the alleged
combination Of tbe anthracite coal
companies.
The last phase will be inquired into
specifically from the point Of view of
the increase Of the cost of coal
twenty-five cents a ton by all operat-
ors after a slight increase in wages
had been granted TO the miners. The
government, It is said. is convinced
that the increase in price to the CON
sumer is excessive. and further. that
all operators making the increase at
one time shows a combination.
Rising above every phase Of the in
quiry in significance at this time, &C
cording 10 the general view. is the
beginning OF the investigation with the
revival in a more concrete form Of the
suit to dissolve the alleged hard coal
trust. in which the Reading Company
and its subsidiaries are reported 10 be
the controlling factors. Efforts will
be made TO complete the investigation
before the Supreme Court hears the
case.
Among the facts which the commits
sion will try to determine are these:
Is unfair competition pracsiced
on a large scale. and if so, what Is
the remedy?
Are the charges true that oper-
ators are taking the pick of the
available coal and wasting more
than 150,000.000 tons a year7
Do present processes tend TO
bring about an unwarranted in
crease in the price of coal?
Are present high prices the out
growth OF natural conditions or
are they the result of combins-
lions TO force high prices?
