PRICE OF ANTHRACITE IN
 HARTFORD NOT UNREASONABLE

Hartford, July 22.-The present retail price for anthracite coal of sl5 ton in domestic sizes, delivered in bags at the homes of consumers, is not unreasonable, in the opinion of William F. Whitmore, fair price commissioner for Connecticut, and is justified under the provisions of the Lever act This decision was reach ed after the commissioner had asked sev- eral prominent coal dealers of the city to submit figures to show the cost of coal to them and it's distribution. The hearings were held in the office of Judge E. L. Smith, United States attorney, and Thomas w Russell member of the fair price committee, and formerly fuel ad- ninistrator for this state, was present at most.
 According to figures submitted, the av craze cost to Hartford dealers of net ton e 000 pounds) of anthracite coal in domestic sizes delivered at the con surner's house, is $14.25. This cost in cludes all expenses of doing business. It was shown that the cost of the coal it. self is about $1 per net ton higher when bought from the so-called Independent operators than when it comes from company mines. Dealers fortunate enough to have. contracts so that most of their output is of the company coal show a cost less than $1475 per net ton. The majority of the dealers in the city are handling this higher cost coal

 IN PASSENGER RATES

Washington. July 22.-To provide the additional revenues necessary to meet the $500, 900 900 increase in wages awarded by the Railroad Labor Board, the rail- roads of the country proposed today to the Interstate Commerce Commission that passenger rates be advanced 20 per cent. and freight rates 9.13 pe cent. in addition to the 27.6 per cent. previously requested. They also proposed that a sur-charge of 50 per cent. be made on Pullman fares, that excess baggage rates be increased 20 per cent and that milk tariffs be increased to the same level as freight rates.
 Should the increases proposed today and those previously asked for be grant ed in full, existing freight rates would be advanced 36.9 per cent. and the na- tion's freight bill would be increased by S1355.370.675 The total which would be added to the passenger revenue under the railway executives plan would be S23S.

Toom, general counsel of the Associa- tion of Railway Executives, explained that the SEC, 6,O00. .O00 additional was fig ured on the basis of overtime allowances provided in the award
 The proposal submitted to the commits sion today was outlined in the following statement of the railroad executives:
 ''The carriers suggest that the revenues }n I1n raised in part from passenger train traf- fc and in part from freight train traffic by increasing rates accruing. from pas senger train traffic and by increasing the percentage advances in freight and switching rates already applied for in the following manner:
 "1-All passenger fares to be increas- ed 20 per cent. with 8 minimus of not less than ten cents per trip on any form of ticket
 "The foregoing includes: standard To- cal or interline fares. excursion. conven- ton and fares for other special occa sions, communication and other multiple form of ticket, extra fares on limited trains and club car rates.
 All excess baggage rates to be in- creased 20 per cent.
 '3-Sur-cnarge on sleeping and parlor cars to he made 50 per cent. of the charge for space occupied either in parlor or sleeping cars.
 "4-Milk. Increase all rates. both pas senger and freight, same total percentage applied to freight revenue
