It Is handled by all tho dealers, and I am speaking with tho utmost candor when 1 tell vou that 1 do not beiiove that tho dealors, taking one with anotber, will agarage a profitof 2 conts atonon the Rock Springs coal that they handle. "There is less profit in itthan in any other kind. Those mines are a bonanza for the Union Pacific, and _the mines in Arkansas, and although it has been shipped duily 1t has not reached me for the simple reason that the railroads havo takeh possession of it and converted 1t to their own use. I remonstratea until I got tired. 1 told them that | bought that coal and dian’t want them to steal any more of it. Thoy denied that tney had stolon any coal from me or from anybody else, but_ that v had beon short and had ‘taken’ it.

CHEERLESS LAMENT OF OMAHA DEALERS Unilon Pacific Railway Robbing Nebraska Users of Soft Coal—Figures Show- ing the Mine Prico and ths elght Charge, | | 1 Kiok, and the world kicks fwith you, pro- vided the cause of your woe is the price that 1s demanded for coal, both hard and soft, in these broezy November days. Go to your dealer with your remonstrance, and vou will flnd lim kicking too, and it will do your heart good o take a brief vacation while you listen to the verbal laumbasting that he ad- wministers to the Philadelphia & Reading combipe and the Union Pacific Rallroad company. The first named 13 declared to be the prime and orly cause of the present high price of antbracite, and the latter is said to bo an 1mportant factor in maintaining the cost of bitumiuous fuel atuu alutudinous figure. And this is the way they explain it: ‘I'he combine controls the outout of the Pounsylvania mines, sud if you can buy a ton of that product for a cent less than §6.10 on tho cars at Chicago, or at what amounts to tho same figure at any othor point, you are an automatic, bigh-pressure daisy, and there are no flies in the vicinity of your resi- dence, for there isn’t another soul on top of earth who can dothe same thing. The combine could furnish coal ato much less figure if 1t chose, but, 19 the untold grief of tho nation, it does not choose. Add to this the $3.20 that tne railriads charge for bring- ing your prospective purchusé to Omaha, d your toa of coal has cost tha local dexlor $9.50 by the time that it reaches a side track, where he is enabled to set oyes on it for the first time. Unloading and screening costs ton according 1o tho closest, and 25 25 cents A the dealers who figure 14 if tho statements of others are to be belioved, Then comes "0 cents for the teamster who hauls 1t to your bin, and the cost to the dealer has reached the sum of $10.05. He taxes vou §l1 for it, aud pockets 95 conts proiit, minus whatever shortage thero may have veen, If o dealer can't make $} o ton on what he handles for domestic purposes in the winter time, he'd better go rizlit oul of busines id one of he leading fucl sclivrs yest afternoon, while discussing the situation. “There i1s no question about coal being Loo high, but God knows tuat the local dealer gan's sell it for nuy less and live, The com- blne is robbing tho people from oune cud of the country to the otlier, but what can we do aboutit? They bave got the dead wood on us, and there 18 no use squealing. If we don't want to pay their prico we can lev their stuft alone, and they are not at all particular about telling us so. Dealers iu this éity have have remonstrated, and there is overy reason to believe thal other dealers all over the country have done the same thing, but what was tue resultf When we told them that unless the price was reduced we would be compelled to let them alone and go into Lhe soft coal business exclusively, they simply toid us that they 'fllllf be very sorry to lose our trade, but that if they reduced the price to us they would be compelied to make the same prive 10 dealers everywhere, and as the east was obliged 10 burn hard coal they could make more woney by keeping up the price, even If by so doiug they lost our trade entively. It is gelliug to be a very, serious matter* but for my part I don't see what 18 golng to e the outcome of it, The soft coal Dusiness is In just the same situation as far as Rock Spriogs coal is concerncd, but fortunately there are other mines in this section that are not owned or controlled by that corporation. sy charge fully as much at the mines for thelr coal 4s do any of the other mining com- panies, $1.75, and po ove blames them for that as their product ranks very well, but Moy charge $4.25 @ ton for pulliug It 0 money that the people of this city kkiok so hard about giving up goes intotho coffers of that corpor ation and not 1nto the pockets of the local coat denlars, s S0 many seem to think. The company not enly maiitains a suff rate, bu it makes no concossions and is as discourtet ous and disobliging as it is-possible foran in dividualor corporation to be. It makes n difference whether you buy one car or 1,000, the rate charged fore bringing it to market is the samo. ‘'nere is one time of tho vear, however, when this compauy pretends to bo willing to do good, 30 to speak, at least they seem to think that they = are domng themselves proud. During the months of July, August and Sep tember they offer o furnish that coal at a reduction of 5) cents per ton, and thoy claim that they are making o gront concession in doing that, arguing that it is simply giving us 50 cents a ton out of their own pocket. The fect 1s that it is nothng of the kind, for that coal slacks easily, and is damagod e great doal by teing piled up outside in the weather, and it is very much of a quoestion whether a_dealer makes a ceut by doing business that way, The reason that the company makes the proposition is that busi- voss is very duil with them during those months, and they are anxious for so nething to do in' that line, Their rate is outrageously high, for all they have to do is to hiteh outo @ train and pull it down bero. They use box stock cars, opon flat cars, in any- thing toat is on wheels, and after chey get the coul down here it hasto be unloaded within forty-cight Lours or there is domur- rago to pay, ard back goestho car for an- otherp Joad. " If hauling coal that distance under thoso eircumstances isn't bottor than amint, I don’t know what is, And remem- ber that this does not inciudd the money thav is made at the mouth of the mine, for the company makes money on the coal over and over again, “ONio lump costs $1.65 at the mine, when bought in big quantities, and the frefght is $1, making the cost on tho track here §5.05, ud we soll 1t at §. ‘There would be about 35 conts more profit 1n 1t per ton thaa in the Reck Springs it the sbortage was not so great, ‘Tuat often amounts to one icd some- times two tons 10 the car. Stll it averages 10 to 15 couts more profitablo than the Wyo- wing product that we were talking about, “1llinols lump costs §5 by the time it here, aud we s it for $i.50.

It Is miued at Ovid. Tho Lexington coal, mived at Myrick, Mo., costs 3.0l tails for §5. Trenton, 1lL, coal costs §1.75 on the track heve, and goes for 8. Iowa coal comes mostly from the Oskaloosa district, as that mined around Dos Moines is uearly all used in Des Moines aud avthe places along the branch roads ranniog outof there, Thut coal can bo baa sometimes al §1 a ton, butit aoubtful if there is anvthing in it at that price fortho mino owner, They claim now that thoy are getung § a ton frow some par- ties, out the prevailing price is about $1.60 or $1.05, and it solls bere from #1 to .50, It is au inferior coar and it makes a great deal of smoke aud dirt. “In figuring up the enormous profits that conl deaicrs ave gencrally credited with mak- should mot be forgotien that there is cousiderable quantity n each car 3ts just the same as the rest und on which the freight is the samo that is screaned out, and it goes for steam purposes at 2 o ton, and it makes no difference whetner it is $4 or §7 coal, for it goes 10 to- wothor after it is screened. And let me tell you rigat here that it is very muchof a question where we are going to get enough coal Lo carry us through. We are supplying our regular customers, but I wouldn't think of taking a new ong and asgreeing to supply him except conditioually. The water works is begeing for coal in small quautiuies if it annot got large ones, and the railroads sre he only ones who are reasonably sure of a upply, 1 bave been trylog for weeks Lo get some ooal from some altbough T have not yet been able to detect the difference. They notify me that they have tuken a certain car that was billed to mo, and all tho satisfaction I can get 1s that 1.0 rot have to pay for it. It does no zood t0 protest.” “Tam fuclined to think that tho general kick that went up all over tho country was the thing that deterred the combine from ad- vancing the price of hard coal on the 1st of October and on the 1st of November, as they had 1ntended, ana it may prevent another advanceon tie 1st of next month. You can aeo that while Omaba dealers ave making a fair margin at the prescnt price, they wero not making anything at 510, or even at §10.50. It was selling at .50 in Chicago the other day, and [ do not know whether it has been raised thera or not. If it hasn’t, we are doicg better by ceats a ton than they are there, but it must bo tuken iuto considoration that we have to mantain expensive plants, where they do not require anything of tho kind, for thev can go night down to vhe docks and get what they want without uny special outlay. On a 500 capital you can carry on a busiuess theve tat would requira £10,000 here, Thore is one thing that mey be sct down as absolutely certain, and that is tnat the coal teamste in this eity avo gotting more than in any other city in the country. They are making from $115 to $140 a moath with @ oo team, and L am savisfied that 1t would be money in the pockets of the coal deaters to own their own teams. We have to pay 5) cents a ton for the cosl that is hauled for domestic pur- and that is a matter that has heen a ptention for vears, We get steam hanled for less money, paying from 15 5 cants, according 10 the guantity to be nauled and the distance that it has to go.” Across the Bridge. At Council Bluffs steam coal is quoted at $1.5 1o £1.75 on yearly contvacts. Soft nut coal ordinarily sells ut #2500 to $2.75, and the best lump 15 now quoted at $3.25, which is sald to be a little nicher than usual at this time of the yoar. Coupcil Bluffs dealers claim that they can geaerally sell hard coal $1 a ton cheaper than Omaha dealers. At the Mines, According to the report of Miue Inspoctor Phomas of the Third Jowa district, compris- ing the counties of Boone, Dallus, Guthrie, (ireeno, Marion, Polk and Webster, tho av- ago price of soft coalon board cars at tho mines is $1.55 per ton.
