Not only this, but the vested interests of these two concerns control the railroads that carry the co arly one-third of the anthra- cite coal produced in the country goes to New York tidewater points, For years the coal companies have built up such @ coal and carrier joint interest as to war- vant interfe by the Inter- state Commerce Commission and the United States Gi The National Coal Association n states that 15 per coal that 1s now be- ing sent to market is culm coal, This is taken from banks of coat lying on the surface of the mines and mixed with freshly mined coal—culin coal that costs a few cents a ton to load to the market, The canals from the anthracite A secondly ing of coal fields of Penngylyania are controlled by the above coal companies and have practically been eliminated as competitors of the railroad in the transporta- tion of fuel, Excessive freight rates, accord- A Day” Those who suffer daily backache, sick headaches, dizzy spells and annoy- y irregularities naturally seek # remedy that will give permanent free- dom from these discomforts, not merely { for a day.” For over thirty ’ Doan's Kidney.
