WAR ON HIGH COST
OF COAL SPREADING
Progress Made Last Week in
Organizing Consumers Of
Anthracite.

Substantial progress was made las.
week in organizing users Of anthracite
coal so that they may make their In.
fluence felt and. possibly, bring about
a reduction in the price of coal. accord.
Ing to an announcement yesterday BY
Charles S. Allen. secretary Of the Anth.
racite Coal Consumers Association, Will
offices at 80 West street. Mr.. Aller
says that the movement has created
great interest in all Of the territory ad.
jacent to this city.
Chambers of commerce and other civic
bodies in many of the large Eastern
cities have pledged their support to the
association and have asked for addi.
tional data. Inquiries have poured in
too, from apartment house owners, real
estate brokers and managers OF indus
trial plants, all o. whom are anxious to
bring down their coal bills.
The plan proposed by the association
originally contemplated the reduction oi
the New York city anthracite coal bill
by about s30.00o.0 900 annually. In the
course or the last week means OF
slicing off another $50O,000 of the total
cost has been found and application is
to be made to the Interstate Commerce
Commission by George Gorden Battle
attorney for the association. for the
elimination Of what Is known as the
trimming charge.
This charge is a relic of the days
when schooners were used to transport
coal from the Jersey railroad terminals
1t amounted to from four to eight cents
a ton of coal and was expended for
the labor utilized in leveling of the
cargoes of coal in the holds. With the
substitution Of barges for schooners the
levelling process became unnecessary,
but the trimming" charge has rc'
manned
The chief item in the associations
program concerns the freight ratc on
anthracite coal. which is declared to be
exorbitant. The present rate of s2.61
q ton should be reduced TO s1.31 a ton.
the association asserts. Some !r.-resr-
ing figures on the transportation OF
anthracite compiled by the association,
are given in the following table:

The plan OF the assocfation calls not
alone for the reduction of the New York
freight rate. but also for saving by
reducing the amount of refuse In the
coal to the extent of 10 per cent. Of the
total weight. 1t is calculated that this
would amount to $1.20 a ton on the
average retail price of $1a ton for
domestic sizes and n saving Of 13
cents additional In freight costs. in

Opposition to Consortium.

1.-THE Chinese Government opposes the
consortium because 1t crects virtual
monopoly. and that Is why It is felt that
tho consortium would lead to some form
of international control of China's
finances. ] am not speaking my personal
opinion but the opinion OF the people
and the commercial classes Of China.
1.-Two things are necessary to I'm
prove conditions In China. Tho first
relates to the financial question. Ger
tainly, the Chinese Government needs
more money to reorganize the country,
and at present 1t is not disposed to bor-
row foreign money. The oaly course
open Is to increase the customs, and
hope the special conference on this
subject will not fail to see this point
and will give China higher rate Of
duty than was agreed upon here. 1
think that Is essential.
If the Government should borrow
foreign money the people would be
very suspicious. That IL why the Gov
ernment viii not borrow. In China,
one of the three major questions has
been the financial one. The other two
were Shantung and the 'twenty-one de-
mands.' The Shantung question has
been settled. Group Ave of the twenty
one demands has been withdrawn and
Onlnd nus TcCOrueu pTOIeSt against
the others in the official records of
the conference.
while tho 'twenty-one demands
have not been entirely disposed of and
the increase of the tariff has not come
UP to our expectations all was done
that could be done here and the special
conference ought to do more.
THE second point relates to the dis
bandment OF excessive military forces
In China. We have more soldiers than
are necessary for maintaining peace
and order, and keeping up such a huge
army really eats up the substance OF
the country.
these two questions really 30 to-
gether They cannot be solved seps-
rately. We need an increase of the
tariff for every purpose and to dis
pose of the soldiers we need the money
with which TO pay them off and after
their disbandment to find work for them
to do.
1--WE came here with the confidence
OF Americas sympathy and friendship
for Us and we leave this country with
renewed confidence that the friendship
between the two peoples Of America and
china wfll be perpetual"
