NY WAY they figure it, New Yorkers have yot to stand a A $2,000,000 raise in their coal bills. The Coal Trust announces that the summer ecale of prices which goes into effect to-morrow will start twenty-five cent per ton higher than the price on April 1, 1913, Even if the uenal ten cent raise in May is omitted and customers put off buying until then, they will still have to dig deeper into their pockets than they) did through the summer months of last year. In Manhattan the stand ard retaii price per ton for family sizes of hard coal will be for) April and May $6.50, June $6.60, July $6.70, August $6.80, Septem- ber $6.90. In Brooklyn retail prices, as usual, keep twenty-five cents | @ ¢0n ahead of those in Manhattan. Twice in the Inst two years the coal barone have eprung e twenty- five cent raise on New York. In 1912 it was the cost of settling wage standards with the miners, ‘This time it is the demands of the coal barge men and the Pennsylvania State mining tax. The question who is to pay the toll of trouble will never worry the Coal Trust while the public has a dollar left. Every time a) new burden has been created—whether it was the Penneylvania State tonnage tax, or the miners’ tax laid hy the Roosevelt treaty, or| the coal road combine engineered hy the late Mr. Morgan—each has heen speedily and tightly strapped to the shoulders of the consumer. There must be no slackening of dividends on the great coal roads—the Lehigh Valley, the Lackawanna and the Jersey Central. 3 In the coal year from April 1, 1912, to March 31, 1913, the antbracite companies shipped 62,300,000 gross tons on which the twenty-five cent raise in price amounted to more than $15,000,000. Of this tribute New York paid more than one fifth, or $3,000,000. And the tribute of this city for the oval year ending March 81, 1914, will amount to as much as $3,000,000, Few needs press upon the people more directly and conetantly than the need of coal. Coal means food, warmth, industry. touches every man. Here is the great city of New York only @ hun- dred miles or so from the richest coal deposits in the country. Yet this community of 5,000,000 souls is at the mercy of a coal combine which dictates month by month what people ehall pay for this commonest of necessities. The public pays for the coal. Yes. It also pays for monopoly and greed. It pays the fees of high finance. It pays for clashes between employers and employees, it pays for strikes and settlements, It pays for infringements of the law, it pays for conflicts with the Government. Sooner or later it pays for every experiment, every folly, every embarrassment, every loss, every extravagance, every high-handed policy of coal finance. And there is no limit to the bill. ee Gov. Glynn has passed out the plums and pinned on the medals, Now where's the florist’s van from Tammany Hall? —— ‘ THE TOP OF THE TOWN. AKE WAY for the Bronx. Six hundred thousand people live there, according to the latest figures, Last year the Bronx put up 800 new buildings, costing wearly $20,000,000, installed 1,200 new strect lainps, and got an easignment of 216 more policemen. Fifteen miles of streets were graded, fourteen miles of streets were paved. And now “farthest uptown” is clamoring for a new railroad etation, a bigger “I,” station, @ Federal post-office and court building, a central market, an exten- sion of the Third avenue elevated, more piers and decper rivers. It also complains that the subway builders are not half spry enough. Not long ago the Oharity Organization Society reported an 1 per cent. increase of poverty in the Bronx from 1912 to 1913—a sign that points two ways, Poverty in this town keops close at the heels @ population and prosperity.
