$8-TOn Coal Talk Is
Ridiculous SAYS Dealer

Walter MONTGOMERY President OF
the Montgomery Coal Comapny, in
discussing stories appearing in Phila-
delphia papers this morning to the ef-
feet that anthracite coal would in
crease in price to IS ton, declared
that such raise in price would be
unreasonable and uncalled for.
"Of course" he said. there will be
an INCREASE in the price on account
of the compensation act and the ad-
vance cost in mining and labor, but
consumers of this city need not fear
such an enormous increase"
