SNAIL WAGE INCREASE;
BIG PRICE RAISE
4 LEVER FOR MORE PROFIT
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.

Washington, June 25.--Thes great
est exposition in recent years OF the
way In which the anthracite coal OPP
orators have held up the public was
made in the Senate Saturday by Sem
ator Gilbert M. Hitchcock. Of Me-
braska, who demonstrated how the
operators since 1900 have several
times granted an increase Of about
fifteen cents per ton to the miners
and increased the price to the con-
sumers about thirty cents per ton.
Senator Hitchcock presented res
olution, which was adopted by the
Senate. to direct the Federal Trade
Commission to make An Immediate
investigation into the operations ana
accounts of the leading anthracite
lation between the wage INCREASES
granted to the miners and the adj
vanced prices charged the public In
recent years.
He read In the Senate a letter from
Attorney General r. w. Gregory to
the Federal Trade Commission show
ing that small increases In wages
granted the miners by the coal opera
tors had been used as an excuse to
levy greater increases in the price Of
coal to the public. and suggesting that
the Federal Trade Commission insti-
tute a searching investigation into
the operations and accounts of the
leading anthracite coal companies.
The Attorney-Ge letter to
the Federal Trade Commission sets
forth the following facts:
In October, 1900. wages wore ad-
vanced approximately 10 per cent
which increased the cost OF produc-
ton 3o.f5s per ton. The producers
advanced the cost to the consum-
ers $0.232 per ton on all sizes. max
Ing the excess OF price increase over
cost increase 30.o75 per ton.
On November l, 1904. there was
another general advance in wages Of
II per cent. To meet this the opera
tors increased the price to the public
nifty cents per ton, or thirty-six cents
In excess Of the increase they granted
the miners.
In 1912 another advance in wages
