President Haar of the Philadelphia Heading Railway blames the independent mine operators for the exorbitant price of coal. He said: "To begin with, we that is, trie operators'are blamed for the high price of coal. We are selling it at $3. When we discover a dealer making exorbitant advances over that price we punish him promptly by cutting off his supply of coal. "We cannot do this with the independent operators.

They mine their own coal. The railroads are common carriers, and cannot refuse under the law to transport their coal because the operators are going to demand unfair prices' for it of the public. 'I am doing everything in my power to punish dealers who buy from us and then ask unreasonable prices. We will not allow the public to be squeezed by unscrupulous dealers for coal that we have sold. "The operators are not wlihholding any coal, and such rtattmenls are false.

The coal being withheld In Jersey is the property of independent mine and speculators. It was not taken from our mines, and' the railroads cannot refuse to transport it. Simply because there is a lot of coal in a Read-ins: car it does not follow that the eoul belongs to or was taken from a Reading oid, but the inmates are made very O. Duerr, Mrs. Minor Dodson, Mrs.
