RAISE PRICES OF ALL COAL. Operators Who Have Declared No Increase Could or Would Be Made Hasten to Increase Profits. RECOUP BIG STRIKE LOSSES, At the Same Time a “Scarcity” De- veldps, with Hundreds of Thou ‘ sands of Tons Lying Just Outside of New York. The coal operators have announced @n Increase in the price of coal trom $6.50 to $7 a ton, and in bituminous from 96.80 to $7.60. The excuse for this In- crease was given as “scarcity of pro- du . Mon fn the coal trade say the raise in price is an open move by the Coal Trust to participate in the profit ac- eruing from the scarcity of coal in this city. They have heretofore sald that “independents” and ‘‘speculators’ have been making all the money wrung from the New York public when cold ‘weather brought distress, {illness and death, ‘The new prices are excused on the ground of “the scarcity” of coal. Yet the coal operators have frequently de- clared that they would not raise prices on account of scarcity; that they would ‘be able to supply all the coal needed; and that “speculators were creating an artificial scarcity here. “Actions Speak Lond.’ Furthermore, they have been em- phatic in contending that they could not raise the price of coal 20 cents a ton In order to increase the wages of tho miners 10 per cent. Yet they have raised the croular price 50 cents. And they have not raised the pay of ‘Yeo miners! "Phere {s every reason for believing that the cost of mining coal is much + less now than it was before the strike. ‘The mines are being run at full head; their greatest economy of operation being reached on every hand, But up goes the price of coal! The strike was expensive; the com- panies have millions of dollars of losses to recoup. The public has millions of extra halt @ollars to pay in circular prices. How much more it will have to pay in speculators’ prices in New York no man ean reckon. Btrangest of all the facts bearing on the increase in prices Is this: ‘The to consist in part of these supplies of coal opposite New York: 80,000 tons at Perth Amboy. 92,000 tons on the way here on the Reading. 20,000 tons a day arriving at Perth Amboy. Unnamed quantity said to be realy for any one with a wagon, Fifty-first street yards of Communipaw Coal Com- pany. Untold quantities on Jersey sidetracks. _The figures are from statements of the coal roads and their selling agents. But these men say residents of New * York cannot get this coal delivered! he Lehigh Valley Company says it will be very thankful if some one can relieve it of the 20,000 tons a day It Is > piling up on Its pers at Perth Amboy. It; will sell for $5.60 a ton there, The ‘Communipaw Coal Company, which rep- resents the Central Railroad of New Jersey, announces that it has plenty of coal, but {s unable to deliver it in Man- hattan. ‘The company states that it will eell any quantity of coal desired at ts Fifty-firsi street yards at $6 a ton un- delivered. ‘There {s coal everywhere except on Manhattan Island and in the Borough of Brooklyn. Any househoider in Jersey City can get all the coal he wants at $7 a ton delivered. But just across the river that same ton will bring $12, and then there is no certainty of getting it. Explanations of the raising of the] bituminous price above that of anthra- cite are to the effect that the operators would force a return to anthracite Conflict in Statements. President Baer, who was first to an- @ounce the raise in the price of coal, e#aid that it was done because of the scarcity of coal, At the same time the freight agents of his road announced that they had 92,000 tons of coal on the way to New York tide water, and that the mines never before produced such Breat quantities of coal. ‘Bhe effect of this increase in the prive goal on the poor is disastrous. They , ‘been buying coal at 10 cents a paii, low they will have to pay 1s cents & Pathe operators and combine de. that the principal trouble no: ting boats, lighters and teams with which to deliver coal. ut the hun- dreds of dealers not affiliated with the operators say they can deliver coal if only they can get it from the operators. 4% _The Salvation Army will open the following depots to-day where those of Modest ‘means may purchase coal vy @ pall at cost; Eighteenth street and rst avenue, in Chatham Square, ‘Twenty-third street and Second avenue, hirtieth street and ‘Tenth avenue, pemratth street and Seventh avenue, fo. #8 Raymond street, Brooklyn, and Higa North: Bighth street, Willlame- KICKS AGAINST KNICKS.
