PUBLIC MUST PAY.
Coal Operators to Add s1.oo Ton for
Costs OF Strike.

The coal operators will probably
make the public pay the expense of
their long fight with the unions by
adding about 81 a ton to the price of
anthracite at the mines until next
April, so operators with offices in this
city admitted yesterday, relates the
New York World of Thursday.
w. r. Coyle, vice president of. the
Weston, Dodson company, Independent
operators, of No. 233 Broadway, said
I'VE have 10 tack on the maintenance
cost Of our collieries while they were
shut down." He added that one Of the
company's collieries cost $4,000 to
maintain during the strike.
Mr.. Coyle said it was necessary to
add 81 at the mine because so cents
was required of this for maintenance
cost; while Is cents had to go to the
state of Pennsylvania in taxes and
about 10 cents was needed to cover
the expense of compliance with new
state regulations.
It was learned that Weston, Dod
son and company had received twenty
six of the thirty carloads of anthra-
cite which arrived in this city yester
day morning. This was the first train
load to be brought in since the settle
ment of the strike, and it was stated
that this coal, which is in stove sizes
cost $3.50 ton at the mine and will
probably be sold here for $14.50.
While William H. Woodin, state fuel
administrator, is expected TO confer
with local coal men today, he has no
power over the operation of the mines
or the prices charged there.
AS all these mines are outside of this
state, the most he can do is keep a
check upon the local dealers and see
that they do not take excessive profits.
He has announced no price regulation
plans, but he can make local dealers
do his bidding by threatening to shut
off their supply.
The local dealers all seem to look
with favor on the proposal that they
be sworn in as temporary officials Of
the state fuel administration. Sever
al yesterday said they thought the
cause Of the people could best be
served if, after they had been sworn
ir, they were merely put or their
honor" not to overchargc consumers.
One operator said it would be at
least week before the mines were
working at full force. Some of the
men, he said, had contracted for out
side jobs.
