NO DECREASE IN
IN PRICE or COAL
ONLY AN INCREASE

Coal dealers are wearing the smile
that won't come on
The hint given few days ago that
| It was possible, even probable, that
the usual reduction Of so cents ton
on the price of coal would not be
made in May this year has now be-
come d reality. There Will be no
such reduction, but the price 10 10 be
actually increased 10 cent ton.
This word was received yesterday
by the coal dealers from the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company, and it was received with
genuine regret, for 1t was noticed that
the coal dealers would he in for more
"cussing' from their customers than
ever before. that they would be called
thieves. robbers, pirates and proflteers
and every other term that indicates d
gouge and that they could do nothing
to stem the tide
They recognize that the people paid
high prices during the war for coal.
and that they paid them more or less
cheerfully, according to their disposi-
ton, but now that the war Is over
they have naturally looked for lower
prices.
or course the coal dealers might
absorb the extra 10 cents themselves
and take Ii out Of their profits. but that
would be an unheard-of thing to do,
and Il will, in the regular course Of
events. be passed on to the customers
No explanation was given for the pro-
posed Increase The Philadelphia and
Reading simply said there would be an
increase and that was All there was To
Ii No statement Oh prices beyond May
was issued. but Ii is understood that
the cloaI companies are intending to
reverse the usual process, and instead
OF making q s0-cent reduction 1t the
