HARD COAL MONOPOLISTS

ne anthracite coal operators constitute real

miners constitute labor monopoly Each is inclined
70 De as ngh-handed as other monopoly which ever
neld grip on standard commodity in this country
sometimes these two monopoes fight each other
and then the public suffers from the lack of coal
sometimes they adopt the shrewder policy of working
together, like business rivals under an arrangement
1nat nsures the miners high wages and the operators
ngh profits Then the public suffers from exorbtant
prices.
, usually the latter policy has worked better than
.ne former as far as the industry itself concerned
because % Jne public would rather pay high prices for
hard coal than go without it altogether That policy
may be adopted now, with everyone clamoring for
settlement 1t is natural and obvious thing for the
press and government to take anthracite capital and

come to agreement. But in the long run some more
