PLYMOUTH, Pa, Feb. 2S. - Tho
the miners made no material gains
during the anthracite strike, the oper
ators are boosting the prices Of coal
and blaming it on the high wages OF
the coal diggers.
While the larger concerns such as
the Lehigh Valley Coal company kept
their pre-strike prices, the smaller
independent operators Boosted Their
prices considerably.
The most notable example is the
Kingston Coal company. Previous to
the strike pea coal sold at Sc a ton
at the breaker, but now the price has
been advanced to IS, an increase
amounting to 50 ton. The price on
chestnut and buckwheat was increas.
ed prOportionately.
The Reddo Highland Coal company
the largest independent anthracite
combine in the world, has announced
an Increase ranging from rs cents to
80 cents on a ton.
This advance in prices by the indie.
