Cause of High Prices.

Cause of High Prices.
Causes of the advanced price of
anthracite coal and of the present short
summarized by the committee thus The
greater difficulty In mining as the mines
become deeper and more extended: the
greater cost of snoring and pumping In
some instances fifteen or twenty times
as many tons of water as OF coal re-
moved; the cost and inefIlclency of
labor inexcusable strikes, vacations and
holidays; faulty adm nlstration of car
service excessive royalties paid owners
of coal lands. which. based on Hirard
estate mine leases. are on a percentage
basis and increase az the cost OF mining
and price OF coal Increases, so that some
oollleries pay s1.26 PEI ton royalty; the
purchase Of coal at mines by SPECTATORS
and mlddlemen, who sell car over and
over again before II reaches the con-
sumer; prohteering by retail dealers
excessive cost OF delivery from the yard
to the consumer.
1.-THE committee found that the stor-
age capacity OF tho coal yards in Greater
New York would not exceed two
weeks supply during the coal season
and that there were few II any, exist
ing contracts direct with the mines for
anthracite coal" the report says.
"The committee found that the cost OF
anthracite coal loaded on cars at the
mines averaged about 81 per ton. the
average freight was s262 per ton and
the cost of transportation in New York
Harbor so cents a ton. This made the
cost at tho wharf on tho Manhattan or
Brooklyn or Bronx waterfront s10.1z.
or not to exceed s1i.15 In the yard for
a gross ton.
"In the opinion OF the committee
prices charged for domestic sizes in
Manhattan yards-s12 rs to s13.50 and
s14-wcre fair. In lts opinion prices
beyond this are excessive
'-r1e committee Is Informed that some
retail distributors in Brooklyn and The
Bronx have been charging az high az
$40 per ten. II has already boon stated
that maximum price OF s1a per ton
in Manhattan and The Bronx is not I'M
reasonable. The plain inference from
this is that prices in excess OF this
range from unfair to extortionate."

JOY OF residents OF Richmond Borough

After a thorough investigation of

advocated in a complete report made
public yesterday by the joint commit
tee of inquiry organized by the Real
Estate Board of New York. the Build
ing Managers and Owners Association,
the Advisory Council Of Real Estate
Interests and the municipal Board of
Health.
AS a result OF its comprehensive
study of the problem, the committee
recommends:
/. That contracts be made with the
mines direct or with duly authorized
distributing agents by the local coal
distributors for weekly deliveries begin
ming April 1 of each year.
2. That steps be taken at once for the
establishment OF reserve storage yards
sufficient to contain at least one months
supply of coal. The results of COM
plete cessation of coal delivery for
month would be appalling.
3. That State legislation be enacted
for the Incorporation of labor unions
and trade organizations. and that strikes
or lockouts, unless authorized by a ma
jority vote of the organizations. and

vision of local election officials. be de-
