GOO. Is being paid out by the operators TO
the dealers and brokers on whom IL was
levied.
Ex-Judee Gawthrop was unable to as.
sign any reason for the failure of coal
users TO apply for aid. 1t has been sew
erai weeks since Attorney General Francis
Skunk Brown assured consumers q way
had been found TO compel restitution
where Il could be shown the tax had been
passed down TO the consumer The
charge commonly made is that the deaf
ers added % cents a ton to their coal to
offset the tax so long as the law was in
effect. The dealers almost universally say
they absorbed the tax themselves without
forcing their customers TO share the bur
den.
While the absence of agitation has
altered the plans of the commission some
what so far as the holding Of public
hearing, as was planned. was concerned,
the Investigation will not be dropped by
any means. ex-Judge Gawthrop said. The
commission is collecting data from the
operators, he said. This information GOV.
ers the production in the period under dis.
pute, the price before the tax was levind
and after. and detailed figures of the
amounts collected on the various sizes
of coal. After the case of the operators
has been disposed of the question will
be taken up with the middeman and
dealer. In this way. he pointed out. the
commission would arrive finally at the
case of the consumer to ascertain how
far he had been called upon to share in
the tax.
The large coal operators in the mean
time are busy ieimbursing the dealers for
the entire amount collected The Sus.
