BROUGHT ON TO
BOOST PRICES
Artificial Creation by Railroads Own
Ing 90 Per Cent Anthracite and SO
Per Cent of Bituminous Mines
Contrary to Law Three Bodies
Can Stop Operation.
Ilv HA NIL M. MAXLY.
WASHINGTON, J). (.'., Nov. 8.
The United Stales is in I lie ni ip of
a cunl fiunini', artificially created by
tho railroads for the sole purpose of
boosting prices.
Cities, towns ami villages, from
New York to Seattle, report they are
unable to obtain viioukIi eoal even to
supply their needs from day to day,
much less to prepare for the winter's
cold.
This same thing happens every
year and is just os acute and terri
fying to the householder ns the rail
roads and coal companies can make
it.
This year, favornblo conditions
have made it possible to create the
nppearance of a complete eoal fani
ino and Hearc the consumer so badly
ho is willing to pay any price for
coal.. In New York anthracite coal
is selling for $12 a ton.
Giuno of Ilallmnds,
The annual K"uo of the railroads,
which own 90 per cent of the anthru
cito coal and moro than 5(1 per cent
of the bituminous coal, is to create
a coal Khortago at the very bofiiniiitii;
of the winter.
This shortage has the triple effect
of making every consumer eager to
buy coal, ready to pay any price,
and willing to accept any quality that
may be offered.
Then, when tho consumer is in n
proper frame of mind, the coal is
brought into the market by the rail
roads and sold to the eager public
nt monopoly prices.
This annual robbery of rich and
poor by thp railroads ami the coal
companies must he stopped. The de
partment of .justice, the interstate
commerce commission and the fed
eral trade commission have all the
power necessary, if they choose to
exercise it,
Finnd on People.
This fraud on the American people
is mado possible chiefly by the rail
road ownership of the coal mines.
This ownership was prohibited by the
"commodities clause" of Hie inter
slate commcrco act, which- forbids
railroads to own an interest in the
production of any commodily which
they transport. This illegal owner
ship of coal mines and other com
modities is continued only through the
palpable subterfuge of dummy min
ing and industrial corporations,
which, in fact, are subsidiaries of Ihe
railroads.
It is true this evasion of Ihe Inn
has been sanctioned by a decision of
the United Slates supreme court. Itul
there is every reason to believe the
court will reverse its indefensible de
cision if the issue is again presented
with a strong public demand behind
it.
Since that decision was rendered
two liberal .justices who certainly will
nut stand for the decision llrnndeis
and Clarke have been added to the
court.
Tremblings of Discontent.
.Moreover, Hie court has heard the
nmionngs ot discontent and lias seen
tho commerce court destroyed be-;
cause of its betrayal of the people fori
Ihe benefit of the railroads.
Ah Judge (Irosseup once said.j
''There are windows in the supreme j
court room from which what is goingi
on iu Ihe world outside is in plain,
sight." I
The supreme court reversed its le
gal tender decisions, its income tu
decisions, its Sherman net decisions,
and will reverse its commodities
clause decision if the American peo
ple demand it.
The railroad eoninnnics. hv con
verting hundreds of coal cars for the
transportation of munitions and
other industrial exports, are discrim
inating against the consumers of
coal. The interstate commerce com
mission has power to stop that dis
crimination. The federal trade commission has
powers broad enough to call a. per
emptory halt on the entire hold-up
.Tame. Up to the present lime the
trade commission has been dilly
dallying with cost accounting systems.
