Sixty Cents Per Ton Increase
Seen Unless Fuel Is Exempted
From Freight Rise

Coal dealers say coal will be about
sixty cents a ton higher next winter
If the proposed increase in freight rates
takes effect.
The man who is laying in black dis
monds for next winters fire is certainly
having his troubles. In a week the
customary jump of ten cents ton on
all grades of anthracite will be an
nounced. according to Charles K. Scull,
secretary of the Philadelphia Coal E1'i
change.
Coal haulage suffers most from the
freight increase, dealers say. Freight
costs in connection with coal are larger
than for any other commodity. The
cost to haul ton from the anthracits
regions to Philadelphia is now about W.
A 80 per cent increase in freight rates
would raise the cost of ton of coal mere
sixty cents.
Coal dealers say coal can afford 70
stand an increase least of all products
They will ask that coal be exempt from
the freight increase. j,
