JUST ANOTHER GRAFT

The Minneapolis Journal discusses
the price Of coal" as follows:
What Is to be the price Of coal in
view of the new contract between
operators and miners providing fol
tweny-seven per cent increase in
wages?
Already warnings have gone ou,
that there will be an increase to the
consumer of from one to two dollars
a ton. One report has it that the
price of soft coal at the mines mouth
will be increased by an amount vary
ing from sixty-five cents to dollar
and half. Yet 1t is estimated that the
average increase in the cost OF mining
ton Of coal under the new scale Is
only thirty-four cents.

reports of increased prices to the
spokesmen for the United Mine
Workers, and declares that RESPONSE
bic operators will condemn any un-
warrantable price and any profiteering
policies" Why merely condemn" ?"
Why not prevent them?
The government removed its coal
price restrictions on April first. but

erless to prevent profiteering in coal
Attorney General Palmer who is a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for president doubtless on the
strength of his failure to reduce the
cost Of living as promised, has given
notice that coal profiteers will be
prosecuted
Nevertheless, prices have an upwa d
tendency, and there appears to be the
usual spread between the actual in
crease in cost of production and what
the consumer has to pay If it is true
that it costs only thirty-four cents
more to get tor of coal to the mines
