UL. GRAND JURY WILL INVESTIGATE LAST RISE IN COAL - Special Pesce Swacker j. Will Present Evidence | {Early Next Week. ‘NO EXCUSE FOR BOOST,’ District Attorney Swann Push- ing Inguiry Into Violations In ate Laws. | This week's unwarranted rise in the Price of coal, as well as the big boost fast month, will be investigated by Whe United States Grand Jury early Next week. Special Prosecutor Frank ‘ML Bwacker, in charge of the Federal Apamiry tnto criminal conspiracies to the prices of fuel and food, maid to-day that there 1s nothing in (the coal situation to excuse the latest Ancrease from $7.75 to $8.25 and $8.50 a ton to New York consumers, _ “We have information from the big coal mining companies,” he said, “that, the supply is normal for this time of year, and the wholesale price, of courses, remains unchanged. “It ts not unusual to have a alight ebortage in production of coal in the holiday season. It happens every year. In other years, tho retail price Rae not been raised in New York ‘There is no real reason for raising it now.” District Attorney Swann is sending to Prosecutor Swacker to-day the evi- @ence he has obtained of violation of the Interstate Commerce law by New York coal dealers in their relations with coal mining and railroad com- panies. This does not mean that he hep ceased to Investigate violatio: the laws of the State of New York committed by the same dealers. He will continue before the Jo ry G Jury the inquiry into the of the ring who drove cer in reta Out of business and combined to ralso | the price | “The evidence fo warded by this office,” said Assistant District At- gorney Markewich, who has, had charge ‘of t estigatior that railroads a Aealers here by reba ; that the Central f sey in parti # to Burns Br pm a lease to varie SAG dumping yards at a arly rental of $3¢ mitting cars to to remain on Weather, thereby cau. etal shortage “We also have inf a is not y that ble coal eculat receive | supplies of coal preference to whom they even had by creating an artificial ma “We have also discovered th shortage of coal in early Nove Was merely nominal, and the for raising the price to $12 a ton In New York—shortage and strikes at the mines—wos not true “We also found that the coal of a certain mining company cannot be obtained by ordinary New York re-| tailers except upon the consent of a very large coal distributer in this| city, That is an interstate matter.’ The Sales Agent of the Lehig Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, on ‘the largest producers of hard #aid to The Evening World that ec ditions in the anthracite r n rt | 8 trestles ominal with coai labor ana | @te about as usual during Christ- mas holidays. , “At this minute,” he added holiday season has diminished the output for a while and coal is not coming in so well; but since the close of na ration on the Great Lakes two weeks ago we have been doing well. Our tonnage has been less than a year ago, when we had a ! stocked, but we are gettin ably 65 or 70 per cent. duction last year.” An oficial of the I are, Lacka- wanna and Western Coal Company, another large producer of anthracite! coal, said that thore Is a little scar- city of production for the moment “This will last during the holidays,” he said. “The men at the mines tc yesterday off, as weil as Monday, to celebrate Christmas, and [ suppose they will take a couple of days for New Year's; but during the last two ‘Weoks, since navigation closed on the ‘t Lakes, we have been doing very about up to normal in our re- “the prob- of our pro ot thi ice of the President of the Central Raliroad of New Jersey the inquirer was referred to the Anthra- | Se cite Bureau of Information at Wilkes Barre, Pa., for records of shipme nts of anthracite to New York. ‘A large consumer of coal, who de. clared that if his name were pub: Ushed he would be punished by ve Hes | when ho orders coal, thanked | The Evening World to-day for its exposure of the latest attempt to boost prices, pated have come out just Pmhey put up tho p ton: yesterday, and if you had noticed it they would have surely put) « on 60 cents more by the end of the) ai week, The pretense they make that in time to he satd. there is a scarcity of coal at this port’ an fe all a bluff.
