Union Official Says Hauling Rates
on Hard Coal Too High.
By the Associa ted Press

NEW YORK. April 10.-Philip MUIR

Workers. today took issue with state
ments of S. D. Warriner. representing
the operators, that the public would
have to pay S170,00O,00O a years.
on each ton of coal-if the strikers
were granted their nineteen demands.
Pointing out that the anthracite
miners demand an increase in pay of
20 per cent, Mr.. Murray asserted that,
on the admission of Mr.. Warriner that
the industry paid under 100000. 900
for labor in 1921, the increase would
be only $60,000,O00.
The strike leader countered Mr.
WARMERS figures with a demand
that the operators make public other
factors than labor, which enter into
the cost of coal.
"Why don't they tell the public
that railroads, owned by the mine
owners, charge SO a ton for hauling
their product from the Pennsylvania
fields to tidewater?" Mr.. Murray de-
manded. "Why don't they explain
how it is that anthracite roads base
their freight charges on an operat-
ingsscost of 80 cents per car per mile,
while on bituminous coal the charges
are based on an operating cost of 40
cents per car mile?"
