Loss to Retailers in Dust. he frelght rate from West Vir- ginia_ smokKeless flelds, Mr. McVann testified, was $2.84. Under guestioning he said there is some loss to retail merchants from coal that has been re duced to dust in transit. He cited an example of a ton of coal he recently purchased from a Washington dealer This coal, he judged, had cost the dealer about $4.75 & short ton at the After adding the frieght, the ice between a long and a short haulage and rehandling, it de that_the ton of coal had cost the retailer $10.64, not counting over head. Mr. McVann sald he had paid for the coal. Senator King of Utah asked Mr. McVann about the operators’ prices and demanded to know what increases had been fmposed recently, the witness admitted that the price had_ben raised, but added: “The good Lord knows, bituminous coal prices have been dragging the ground long enough, haven't they? “You mean prices at the n.ne, of course,” smilingly observed Senator Ca airman of the hearing. nswered Mr. McVann, “the retail merchants make a good round profit from their prepared sizes, but when everything s taken into con- sideration even those slmmer down quite a little.” Criticizes Local Dealers. . McVann particularly criticized Washington dealers on the basis of Boston c prices. He said that Bos- ton retail m chants were selling the same C as Washington dealers, d spite a considerably ~higher freight tariff, for the same price the consumer paying here. After Mr. M ann had left the stand, however, additional witnesses declared he had underesti- mated the true freight rate to Wash- v 29 cents a ton.
