In the statement of a learned Su- preme Court Judge, speaking of the necessities of life, no man should be allowed to take a toll for a com- mon necessity, that the poorest man cannot pay against hardship. CONTROL OF ROADS GIVES MONOPOLY. Before the Fuel Administration was established last year the output of coal had increased from 19,920,456 (1915) to 59,895,256 (1916), This was due to the law of stpply and demand. The Coal Kings got busy. The con- tinuous market for coal should lower the price of the commodity, rather than raise it. That the coal interests are making enormous profits at the expense of the war cry was shown in the Senate investigation as far back as last Jan- uary, The Attorney General in speaking | of the excessive rates_makes the fol- lowing significant statement in the case now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States: t+ A monopoly could be used than an ad- vantage in the cost of transporta- | tion” rates, even though ostensibly adhered to, work enormously to the advant- age of the railroad coal compani If excessive freight rates swept the profits of the Lehigh Coal Company | into the treasury of the Lehigh Rai!- road, money was merely transferred | from one pocket to the other, It made | no difference to the Lehigh compa- jes as a group.

(226 U. 8. 324). The effect of unrea- sonable rates in the building up of the railroad coal companies was’ stated as foliows: HOW JUSTICE LURTON VIEWED) THE SITUATION, “Obviously buyer and seller were not upon an equal plane. The former had control of freight rates and car service, The seller must pay the rate) exacted and accept the car service supplied him by the buyer, or appeal to the remedies afforded by the law. If the rate of freight to tidewater ‘was onerous and was imposed upon the coal produced by the defendants ‘and their allied coal producers with- out discrimination against the coal of the independent shipper it would nevertheless bear upon the latter op- Pressively, since the rate paid would find its w: into the pocket of the defendants, Therefore it was that tho higher the freight rate, the greater the inducement to sell to the carrier Practically the same conditions were found as to the Reading case, | These excessive freight rates, these “barriers against successful shipping by the independent operators,” have been one of the principal means by which the coal business along the lines of the Reading Railroad Com- pany has been monopolized. That was their purpose—and their inevitable result, Especially is this principle appli- cable where a great railroad system, alone or in combination with another corporation, attempts to obtain con- trol of trade and commerce in a sta- ple commodity produced along and transported over its lines, and among other means to that end gives itself or the corporation with which it is combined, as the case may be, enor- mous advantages over competitors in the cost of transportat —than which, to repeat again the statement of this Court in the Swift case, “no more powerful instrument of monop- oly could be used.” In the first place, it is self-evident that the control acquired by the Reading Holding Company has neces- ly resulted in “greatly abridging” petition in the production and sale of coal, Indeed, it has completely ended such competition as to a vast area—two-thirds of the Schuylkill region—an area containing one-half of the entire available supply of an- thracite and producing over 81 per cent. of all the anthracite shipped over the Reading Railway. | abte to get the ballots out in time for the coming election.

This makes a total of ninety-nine mines prohibited from either shippiag or mining coal. The closing down orders were based on reports of inspectors showing that coal from these mines was of such poor quality as to be usetess. Operators af- feeted by the most recent orders are: Kronnenwetter Coal Company, Ben- singer Coal Company, M. Schieler and Sons, Clemens Harberger, Erich Coal Company, Star Coal and Clay Company, Joseph A. Fritz, George Wolf, all of st.
