By Sophie Irene Locb The Evening World's invostiga- tion into tho coal question pl: evidences the fact that the oisb Prices are unjustified and that short- age of fucl is unnecessary. Some of these findings aro summod up as f9l- lows: z The coal industry 1s closely held by @ few coal barons and the largest companies that produce coal are con- trolled by the sume interests that carry the coal on the railroade—numely, the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company and the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company respectlve- ly. The Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Cora- pany has been allowed to mako as high as 10 per cent. annual dividends and an additional 25 per cent on tock dividends, The largest company in the world, the Philadelphia and Read- nd tron Company, con- rly 45 per cent. of the entire anthracite output, has ac- quired all the land possible in order to keep other investors from the field, the ramifications of which have grown to such pro- portions that they have been set before the United States Supreme Court by the Attorney General Other operators who have endeay- ered to secure leasea from this cor- poration in order to increase the out- put bave met with all kinds of ob- and as a general thing when had to sign acles, did xecure 4 leaso agreements to carty their coal on the same rafoad, which interests also controlled the coal interests, LOW TAXES ALLOWED LAND TO BE HELD UNDEVELOPED. ‘This large coal company, the Phil- edelpbia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, in order to hold on to these vast coal fleld4, has become a great power in its county and ts pay- ing taxation generally but 2 per cent, of its £0, estimated at value, So much deprived of taxation children are of this low that Dols because of these enormous holdings. This low rate of taxation has made it possible for this corporation to ~. keep these thousands of acres of coal land undeveloped and &s stated for an indefinite period.
