FIND NO CONSPIRACY
+. IN COAL PRICE RAISE
Pennsylvania Commission will
See, However, That Opera
tors Refund Tax to Dealers.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. M-"Charges
that increases In coal prices announced
last spring were the result of con-
spiracy between operators and dealers
have not been substantiated." This
statement was made yesterday by, for
mer Judge Robert s. Gawthrop, of West
Chester, chairman of the commission
appointed by Governor Brumbaugh to
Investigate the coal situation in Penn
tylvania. Four hearings have been
held by the commission, and the fifth
began at 10 o'clock this morning in the
mayors reception room at city hall.
I'VE have Investigated the matter
70 unearth evidence to substantiate the
Charges OF conspiracy" continued
former Judge Gawthrop. "Consequent-
ly, there will be no investigation of
freight rates by the commission. these
being outside Of its Jurisdiction. We
VIII see. however, that operators refund
to dealers the coal tax, amounting to
s6o00000 or more, which was declared
to be unconstitutional.
Consumers May Benefit.
The commission has authority 10
hear testimony, as to whether the deal
er TO whom the tax is refunded should
pass IL on to the consumer whenever
II can be shown that the amount of
the tax was added to the retail price
or coal. Former Judge Gawthrop said,
however, that the hearings had not
shown conclusively that the practice OF
the dealer was to saddle the consumer
with the operators tax and that there
was no particular promise that the
consumer would reap any direct bene-
fit from the hearings.
Coal operators will testify today as
TO. the amounts of the tax refunded to
dealers. According to statements by
the three leading coal operators OF the
philadelphia district. about 81 900. 900 has
peen refunded. Nearly all that is un-
paid Is that represented by cases in
which vouchers have not been pre-
scented.
Some of Tax Is Returned.
From the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company. which handles
20 per cent of Philadelphia's .supply.>it
was learned that more than 5000, C0E or
e5 per cent Of the tax, had already been
returned. The Susquehanna Coal Com
pany, with 3S per cent control OF the
> local field. announced the payment of
$3.50 900 out of $500. 900 levied In taxes in
the time the law was in effect. The Sus-
nuehanna announced virtually every
dealer in the STATE had been reimbursed
and the remainder of the tax would be
sent out In the course Of n week. The
, JehiRh Coal and Navigation Company.
which last year handled 10 per cent OF
the local supply declared the payment
OF s269,OO0 In refunded taxes, which was
only $4,000 short of the entire amount
due.
