EXTENT OF COAL EXTORTION Conception of the extent to which the coal monopoly ts extort fag money from the people of fon of the price paid for lump coal by the school board and price paid by Por the past two years the of Seattle at the rate ef § the private consumer ed lump coal to the achools 5 per ton delivered in the school bins ton $5.60 The private consumer ts paying from per for the same coal delivered in his bin If the Pacific Coast company ean afford to furnish coal to the $3.36 and what warrant is there for charging others $7 per The question naturally arises schools for pay the cost of delivery ten for coal at the bunkers, and forcing them to pay retall prices for delivery? Figures published recently by The ithe Goast company can lay coal down in Seattle at a cost not exceed ing $1.50 per ton. Accordingly, the company is tosing ao money in gelling the coal to the schools at $3.95 Delivery probably coats the company not to exceed a third of the price paid hy @ consumer, leaving a considerabie margin between the cost price and the sale price Yet this price does not allow for coal, and figuring from that standpoint that there is no money in the contract figuring $2 value per ton for the ing $1.50 per ton for the cost of production and $! legitimate profit, the figures show that the Pacific Coast company could do a profitable business by selling coal from tts bunk at $4.50 per ton The additional price charged for lump coal, amounting to $2.50 per ton, represents the amount of the extortion per ton Under present conditions two profits are being reaped by the coal monopoly; the producers’ profit and the distributors’ profit In addition, the cost of distribut.on is thrown on the p ‘The Pacific Coast company recognizes none of the me ing coal in Seattle as coal dealers Im the eyes of the they are merely teamsters, not 1 dealers, if officers of the company are to accepted. The dealors pay eame price for coal at the bunkers as do the fndividuals or firms who buy direct from the company. One price to all at the bunkers is the announced policy of the company Rut that price Is not a wholesale price, MH ts @ retail price for undelivered coal, and an exorbitant retall price at that. Not being able te get coal from the monopoly at a price that will enable them to sell at a reasotable price and make a profit, the dealers must make their profit owt of delivery charges. In of fect, their entire business is to detiver coal from the Pacific Coast company’s bunkers to the consumers for from $1.60 to $2.50 per toa, according to the location or the difficulties of delivery This is the second hold-up to which the people are subjected If the Prcific Coast company gets both the producers’ and the distributors’ profits on the coal, it ought also to deliver tt at the distributors’ price and save the consumer the added 61.50 to $2.60 per ton. Naturally, now that the monopoly has forced the price of lump coal up $2 per ton to the private comsumer, it will not make as Jow a bid for school coal when the time comes for the renewal of the contract The monopoly is In as good position to hold up the schools as ft is to hold up the individuals, and an increased price for school oa! will undoubtedly be charged But will the coal monopoly dare claim that the cost of produc fag coal has advanced enough ia two years to warrant an increase fm the contract price for schoo! coal from $3.35 to anywhere near the $7 price charged the individual consumer? When comparison is made between the price for schoo! coal xed by contract won in competitive bidding and the price charged the individual, the utter absurdity of the excuses given by the monopoly for advancing prices is apparent. ete THE DOVEYDOVES AND THEIR FIRST BORN BY F.
