WASITIINGTON, Feb. 19,— "This calls for legislative action: In these words Senator Vardam: tre of the anthracite coal regions, and up to date the volumes of testimony jtaken bear out every contention fe in The Evening World's inves- tion of the high price of coal used jby the consumers of New York City mae The prince 1 witnesses before the committes yesterday were indepen- | dent coal operators, inclading the largest, whose difficulties in petition with the two or three coal railroad companies ha proved a costly business not only to ut to the ultimate consumer, ef points developed yesterday foll That the average cost of a ton of coal, from a statement of the largest coal company, the Phila- delphia-Reading Coal and tron Company, during nine months of 1818, was $3.58, When this coal gets to New York City it costs the small con- sumer, who purchases by hun- dredweight, from $15 to $19, | And it costs the very poorest | consumer, who purchases by the pail, from $25 to $28 per ton. This largest company also ad- mitted that it now has culm banks that can be shipped to market, amounting to 13,500,000 tons; and that 20 per cent. of this will be pea and larger sizes.

UNFAIRNESS EVEN IN GOVERN- MENT'S FREIGHT RATES. He pointed out computations made by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion in that the freight rates on an- thracite per ton mile are five times as much as any other commodity and twice as much as on bituminous coal, the latter being even a longer haul, - example, when the revenue rate per ton mile for anthra- was 7 mills, the rate was 3.07 mills uminous coal for a longer dis- For further enue per load cite coal o tidewater in 1912 was t was 21 cents 16 cents; petroleum prod- | 10 cents; cotton and toba comparison: of mine, ucts, » t cents. Also when you consider that 35 cents average loaded car mile was charged for anthracite as against 10 cents for dressed beef, 6 cents for cattle and 7 cents for hogs, all of which meats must come in refrigerator cars, which must entail an extra cost, the gross injustice of the anthracite rate is readily realized, This is made clear when it is realized that on a qreat part of the traffic the same interests con trolling the railroads own the coal, and the rate assessed against it is merely a matter of changing money from one pocket to the other.
