COAL PRICE UPHELD
! BY OPERATORS
Anthracite Men Say Scale Is
Based on Fuel Administra-
/ ton Recommendations.

Anthracite coal operators denied
yesterday. before the Senate inter-
state commerce subcommittee investi-
eating coal prices that they had en-
tered into an agreement among them
selves to fix coal prices. The present
coal prices, the operators declared.
were based principally upon recon-
mendations by the fuel administra-
ton to meet the increased cost Of
production.
A. 5. Learoyd of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company said that last
February the fuel administration
recommended and President Wilson
approved an increase of so cents ton
for anthracite coal to meet the in
creased production costs. But owing
to the small public demand and to
encourage purchases during the sum-
mer, the increase was not made then,
and instead an increase of 10 cents
a ton, beginning April l. was added
to the price of coal each month until
September l, which amounted only TO
the increase of 50 cents recommended
by the fuel administration.
Independent operators, however, on
September /, Mir. Learoyd added, in
creased their prices Sis a ton, as
cents above the price charged by the
anthracite railroad companies. He de-
theary, advanced by the fuel admin
istration, that because their produce
tion costs were higher they were war
ranted in charging more.
Wartime fuel admin iStration regu-
1ations, the coal operators told the COM
mittee, prohibiting coal producers
from selling directly to the consumer
will become a permanent fixture.
Other coal producers before the COM
mittee were w. J. Richards, president
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company; ). l.. Warmer,
president of the Lehigh Coal and Nav
igation Company, and A. c. Dodscn,
Wee president OF the Anthracite Coal
Operators association.

RAIL WAY MEN ASSAIL
LIMITING OF EARNINGS
Association of Executives Claims
Cummins Bill Clause Would
Destroy Incentive.

Opposition of the Association of
Railway Executives to the provisions
of the Cummins railroad control bill.
which would limit earnings. is de-
tailed in a brief filed with the Senate
Interstate commerce committee by
Thomas De Witt Cuyler. chairman of
the association.
The point of the associations pro-
test is that limiting earnings and
taking any excess over such a limit
would diminish. if not destroy, incen-
tive. to efficiency and competitive eff
fort.
rne association represents SO per
cent of the mileage and SO per cent of
the earnings of the first-class rail-
roads.

CHAPTER III.
Covering the Tracks.

There was fire escape running
up to the floor of that room on the
outside of the house. saw that 1t
chair to swing myself up to the hole
in the wall and reach down to the iron
stairs up which, l assumed. the dead
man had crept after l had given him
the hint of Jacqueline's abode by
emerging from the front door
l raised the dead man In my arms,
looking apprehensively toward the
bed. I was afraid Jacqueline would
awaken, but she slept in heavy peace,
undisturbed by the harsh creaking Of
the sagging floor beneath Its double
burden. I put the fur cap on the gro
tesque. nodding dead head. and, push
ing chair toward the wall with my
foot, mounted 1t and managed with
great effort to squeeze through the
hole, pulling up the body with me as /
did SO.
Then / felt with my foot for the
little platform at the top of the iron
stairs outside, found 1t. and dropped.
Afterward I dragged the dreadful bur
den down from the hole.
/ carried the dead man all the way
down the fire escape, clinging and
straining against the rotting. rusting
bars.
At the back Of the house was little
vacant space, filled with heaps of de-
bris from the demolished portions of
the building and with refuse which
had been dumped there by tenants
who had left. and had never been re-
moved. This yard was separated only
by a rotting fence with a single wood
en- rail from small blind alley.
l took up my burden and placed 1t
at the end of the alley, covering It
roughly with some old burlap bags
which lay there. I thought 1t safe to
assume that the. police would look
upon the dead man as the victim of
some tootpad.

between them. and the scene stamped
itself upon my brain as clear as a pho

The woolly beast was the fur cap of
a dead man who lay across the floor
of the little room. There was a tiny
hole in his breast, over the heart. from
which a little blood had flowed. The
wound had pierced the heart and
death had evidently been instantane-
