COAL SOLD At LOSS.
OPERATORS ASSERT
20 Per Cent of Entire Output
Sacrificed Since April,
Conference Claims.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July %
The anthracite operators conference
disclosed today that 5000. 900 tons of
hard coal, 20 per cent of the entire
annual production, had been sold at
loss of so to SO cents a ton since the
price drop in April. Operators quoted
the figures to substantiate their con-
tention that they cannot afford to
grant a 10 per cent increase to the
miners this year.
When Gov. Pinchot negotiated set
tlement of the 1923 controversy on
the basis of a similar increase for two
years, he increased the price of coal
from 80 cents to 81 a ton, operators
said. The Pinchot estimate at the
time, however, was so cents.
Up to the end of 1924, it was said
today, operators had been able to get
this advance out of the coal by in
creasing the price to the public
Now, however. the extra is coming
out of the operators own pockets. they
asserted because the public is not
paying higher prices, and to a certain
degree is not even taking some of the
coal.
Defends Advertising.
The operators asserted that they
spent only about $4,000 on newspaper
advertising to advise the public that
any suspension in the hard coal fields
after September 1 would be 'inde-
fensible."
The conference said the expense
would amount to only three-tenths
of one mill in the price of coal per
ton.
The reply was made in answer to
protest filed yesterday by Philip Muir
ray, miners international vice presi-
dent, who called the advertising
drive "a waste of consumers money"
Mr.. Murray said the operators would
better have saved the outlay to de-
vote it to reducing of the market price
of coal and to making wages more
livable.
An untitled clause in the 1928 agree
ment. the question of uniformity and
equalization of all day rates in the
hard coal fields, was reviewed by the
miners yesterday.
Under the pact of two years ago
the anthracite board of Cancellation
was directed to investigate conditions
