COAL owners
PROFITS LARGE
Official of Railroad Brotnerh0OdS
Puts Them at Half Bill
lion Dollars.
DATA GIVEN IN EVIDENCE
According to w. Jett Lauck, Each
Family in the United States Con-
tributed S25 to Bituminous
Mine Operators.

Washington, May 31.-BituminOu>
coal owners took $500,0O00O0 in war
time profits. w. Jett Lauck, consulting
economist of the railroad brother
hoods, declared in supplementary
survey of the bituminOus coal indus
try, presented to the labor board.
Translated into individual terms
Laucil declared, this "gougng' means
that each family in the United States
paid approximately SO. thus account
ing for IAN important factor in the
high cost of living"
with an average annual production
for the three years 1916, 1917 and l9le
of nearly 6O0.000,000 tons and an aF-
erage excess profit per ton for the
three years of more than y cents II
is apparent that coal operators gouge''
the consumers for an aggregate OF hall
a billion dollars" Lauck, said.
The people of this country paid
all the war taxes of the coal operators
paid their contributions to the Re''
Cross and other wartime welfare or
CARNATIONS paid huge sums for deple-
ton and on top of that paid them halt
a billion or more in net profits thah
they were capable of earning in sim
liar period during normal times" he
charged.
Lauck fatty denied that increased
labor costs are in any serious degree
responsible for the greatly increased
prices of coal He also denied that
the high prices were justified by in
creased production, asserting that
while production increased y pei
cent over the three preWar year
profits rose over 100 per cent. Less
than One-fOurth Of the increase in tho
price of coal was taken by labor, he
said. The claim that labor is reSpOn-
sible, Lauck said, lis utterly false"
THE recent wage increase Of y per
cent granted miners adds something
less than 40 cents to the cost of pro-
ducing Il ton of COAL" Lauck said
'Since April /, when these new rates
became effective, prices OF coal haV5
advanced from IS cents to 50 ton
In other words the coal companies and
middleman will not only reimburse
themselves for the higher wages paid
but are using this as an excuse t.
make still greater profits"
