WIPE QUT GANAL ROUTES ssscsatesx ANDTHE CONSUMERPAYS Water Carriers Are Choked Up to Make Business for the Coal Owned Railroads. In the Old Schuylkill Canal Days Coal Came to New York | at a Cost of 40 | Cents a Ton. By Sophie Irene Loeb. The coal question which The Eve- ning World has investigated for the benefit of the consumers, which has been characterized by one of the |many communications received as “a most vital basis of all industry and upon which every cost of living must bo reckoned,” presents the following finding: That the erip on the anthracite coal by a few coal barons has been such as to discourage production by indepen- dent operators and thus lower the supply, which consequently has in- creasod the price, That all along the Une, from the time the conl leaves the mine until the consumer receives It, there are artificial profits that have been butlt up by years of close contro! of this most necessary commodity. hat dividends of some coal com- panics were doclared as high aa 26 and 30 per cent. That the coal upon which New York is dependent is controlled by three corporations, two of whose in- terests also control the ratiroads that |carry the coal. Royalties paid by outside operators who bad entered the fleld controtiod by these corporations have amounted to as bigh as $1.44 per ton, The Philadelphia and Reading Company, the largest one, which con- trols 2,000,000,000 tons of availablo anthraaite and thus controls nearly half of the output of the United States, has been able to hold on to theso enormous properties by being owned by the owners of the railroad that coal, added to the low taxations of their property, which tho people of Schuy!kili County have beon Dandruff causes a feverish irrita- [loosen and then the hair comes out fast.

ELIMINATING CANALS AND MAKING THE PEOPLE PAY. And now The Evening World in its | investigation calls attention to the | canals which run along the two larg- | | est companies’ properties—the Sehuyl- | lull and Lahigh Canals, | The coal companies have acquired | the right to these canals and have practically thrown them into disus and thus eliminated competition. Coal was carried via these canals to New York for less than one-quarter the price It costs now by rail | For example: The canal built by | the Sebuylkill Navigation Company, the length of which about 108 miles along the Schuylkill River to Phila- delphia, was built long before the Reading Railroad, and there was competition for nearly forty years. As early as 1869 over ono million tons of anthracite passed over it to Phila- delphia during the season, Coal came to New York at @ cost of 40 cents a ton. In order to eliminate this competl- tion, the Reading Railroad Company first entered {nto a contract with the Schulykill Navigation Company, and | which, by agreeing to maintain its rates, the canal company was to re- ceive # per cent, of all the coal ton- nage during the aeason This in itself proves the terms of} equality under which the canal and) the railroad were operating as car- riers, But the output of anthracite ton- nago Increased enormoysly, and, ac- cording to the President of the Read- | ing Railroad Company, “I set myacit to work to cancel that agreement and obtain a lease of the canal, and we succeeded. Wo pald them a mod- eral sum; we cancelled this agree- ment; we prevented competition.” And in this way the railroad com- pany obtained & lease for the canal for 999 years at an annual rental of 3.000. The transaction was described by the Reading Rallroad Company in its report as follows: “Upon the 12th of July last, after a negotiation of many months, the company entered into a lease and contract with the Schuylkill Naviation Company, and took possession of the works ‘and property of the latter company, thus terminating, in a friendly spirit and, | lit is believed, to the satisfaction of| ers of the securities of pocn| companies, a rivalry that had existed so many years,” And subsequently the Reading Rail- road Coinpany acquired nearly all of | the outstanding capital stock and debt of the canal company. The traf fio on the canal fell from 1,000,000 was abandoned, | In the words of the President of the It was one of the! licy to lease the| the railroad com- pany had saved hundreds of thou- ‘sands of dolla ”& year.” There is still about ninety miles of the canal in kood condition, and it is estimated that the balance of it could be easily put In operative shape, The question is, Why isn't it done in thes times of stress, when there ia short- age of railroad cars and engines and| when the price of carrying the coal| would cost so much less and there- Ir host can by it ro reduce the price of coal ap- |preciably--and especially when the Government may control both the railroads and waterways? given at 10 o'clock this morning by HE Liberty Loan Commistes I to-day appealed to all auto- mobile owners to lend their more if possible, for the purpose of taking Lfberty Loan speakers to moeotings in all parts of the city.
