in the newspapers, was the reply.
Then he lashcd the newspapers for their
alleged misrepresentation.
A remarkable panacea for high prices
was offered by Mr.. Williams. It will
undoubtedly strike not only Philadcl-
phians, but every householder who has
ton or two Of coal in his cellar, where
ordinarily he would have his bins full,
as wonderful remedy. Here it is:
If the people would stop buying coal,
the price would fall overnight. There
is coal panic. People in New York
and elsewhere are boarding coal.
District Attorney Lewis instantly
challenged the assertion If there /,
coal boarding how could the witness nc-
count for the confessed coal shortage
as shown in official reports of the geo
logical survey? The further fact that
New York was crying for coal and
unable to obtain IL, except at the most
exorbitant prccs2
Mr.. Williams stoutly denied the a.
scrtion of Fuel Administrator Hoffman,
Of Massachusetts, that there was Il
dangerous shortage Of coal through New
England and outrageous prices. Mr.
Hoffman. one of the first witnesses, had
testified to this. His statements were
corroboratpd by another witness, Camp
bell. who was familiar with conditions
he said. throughout New England.
The discussion became acrimonious
and reached a point where the vcracity
of the two. for and against, was drag
rcd before the committee.
But the testimony and figures were
against the coal operator.

Senator Edge took him in hand at

imposed an increase Os 81 a ton in
April last, in anticipation If rise in

affirmative.
And this increase was not added to

No. was the reply.
This vas matter not known to the
rubic until the EVENING PrBrIC
LEDGER brought 1t to light last Friday.
Every great industrial establishment
using steam sizes of anthracite how
ever knew that they were escaping this
additional impOst; that the public was

Mr. Williams went into an elaborate
explanation on the subject. 1t was

HE told him II was crazy 1t was a
