Cost of a Ton of Anthracite

\t some mines the oal ol i il o? i- lea and the proportiona ?it profitable aizea are greatei and the profits

returns towel Publie necessity requires the output of all the mines, and the price of the entire product must be
high enough to enable the continued operation of those mines which yield the smaller returns, but which muil
be operated in order to supply the needs of the public.

more for his small sizes, because they are in competition with bituminous coal for steam purposes.
Freight Charges Determined by Law
I hose who question thia lid realize that the making of freight rates on coal, as well as on every
other commodity in the United States, is in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commission, ivhif h h ia full

What a Twenty 20? Per Cent. Increase in Wages Will Mean
The anthracite industrv as ? whole is now conducted on as low a margin of profit as is po.ssible if the
operators are to continue to serve the public.
Among other demands, the miners ask for an increase of Twenty (20) per cent, in wages. the cost of
this one demand alone to the anthracite industry will be $23,000,000.00 annually, which is approximately
twice the total profits made by the operators, as stated by the latest report of the Unit, rj State? Bureau of the
Census.
