COAL BOOSTED
Despite Courts Ruling An
thracite Owners Send
Prices Up

Washington.-1n its preliminary re-
port, the United States coal commits
sion is not enthusiastic over court de-
cisions dissolving coal companies and
railroads in the anthracite field.
1T remains to be seen what effect
the court dissolution may have on the
price Of COAL" says the commission.
There is no effective competition be-
tween railroad companies, even
though there is a range of 35 cents
between the highest and the lowest
of the circular prices for the same
sizes of coal. Changes in circular
prices have been upward rather than
downward since the court decisions
were made. The abrogation by the
supreme court of pooling contracts
has enabled individual operators out
side the pool to get their share of the
business, but only when the market
has been dull have these and other in
dependent operators sold at prices
near the circular prices. With coal
leaving the different mines at two or
more distinct price levels, one dealer
in community may be receiving coal
at 81 or So a ton less than is paid for
coal of the same quality by his COM
petitors. In time of good demand the
dealer who gets the lower-cost coal
may allow his competitor who gets the
high-cost coal to fix the price to the
consumer, though often the practice
of the dealer buying low-cost coal of
adding the customary margin to his
purchase price has been followed.
"An extortionate retailer needs
only to cite the premium price he has
paid for few car loads of indepen-
dent coal as a screen behind which no
local authority can we'll go, far less
an individual customer"

PERMITS PICKETING

Cedar Rapids, Iowa.-Judge F. L

iron molders to speak singly to strike
breakers employed at the Holland fur

fed this so one striker may speak to

But the striker must have his draw

HARDINGHAS
TRUE STORY
ABOUTSUGAR
BY JOHN CARSON
NEA STAFF Correspondent

w YASHINGTON, May 21-Presi-
w dent Harding now has the
complete story of the sugar
gouge. 1t is the same story told
weeks ago in this paper. 1t has now
been brought to him by Government
Investigators. The facts obtained are
as follows:
Wall Street banks. aided slightly by
A few other banks. control practically
the entire Cuban sugar Crop. AT
least IS per cent of the crop is at
their disposition.
The banks are intimately linked
and interviewer with the came sugar
trust composed Of American refners
of Cuban sugar. They have provided
the money to market this crop, to
peddle it out in small quantities and
thus keep up the impression of
shortage in order to boost prices.
That's the story in fun and no one
in the Government service will at
tempt to refute the facts or deny that
this condition exists. But what is the
President going to do about it?
So far as can be learned. there is
little hope in the Harding Administra-
ton that anything can be done just
now. At least there is no suggestion
now of any radical steps to be taken.
1t is intimated that the President and
his entire official family are putting
their hope in the boycott by consum-
ers. The impression is left that the
Daugherty legal steps are just side
show.
