Although controlling only 72 per cent
of the acttiul production of anthracite,
tho statement asserted, the eight com
panies had made It "Impossible for Inde
pendent operators to compete with them
on any fair basis."
"Notwithstanding the fact." said tho
statement, "that the constitution of
Pennsylvania prohibits a transportation
company from ingngliig In mining, these
transportation companies Rro In this
business of not only transporting this
coal, but of mining It."

what he described as "tho greed, cu
pidity und avarice or these soulless cor
porations," tho Mississippi Senator rec
ommended that "If the constitution of
Pennsylvania, which forbids the trans
portation companies to mine coal, -Is a
dead letter In that state," the federal
government, under the Intercstate pro
visions, compel tho divorcement of
transportation companies from mining
corporations.
Tho statement made the additional
recommendation that the price of coal
be fixed by the government at a rnte
which would guarantee a fair reluming
to tho mining companies and "vouch
safe to tho people of America nn ample
supply of anthracite coal nt a reasonable
price."
While payment ot excessive royal
ties said' to amount In the case of
the Locust Mountain C'oa! Company
to tho great Olrard estate to SI. 04 n
ton In 1918, constituted the first cause
ot the high price of coal, the statement
said that was "not the full story." Tho
other causes given were the means al
leged to have been used by the eight
largo companies to eliminate the coinpe- ,
tltlon of the Independent operator. The
atatcment said the companies were able
to do thbj by using the following means:
High demurrage charges on cai.s nt
tidewater awaiting accumulation of n
cargo lot.
Inability ot the independent operator
to accumulate temporary surpluses In
bins and storage yaids, the rallroad-ptc-duqlng
companies havlnn denied to the
Independent operators the use of their
facilities, and
The "dog-in-the-manger" attitude of
the eight corporations which. It vvus
'charged, continually reach out and ob
tain all available unmlned coal and
prevent the Independent operatdr from
bfcurlng new land. Much of this land,
the statement said, Is if tallied In an
undeveloped condition by the corpora
tions. The statement also said millions of
tons of coal could have been obtained to
relieve the recent shortage had the fuel
administration compelled transportation
companies to develop culm banks or turn
over this accumulation of small-sized
coal to man Independent concerns will
ing to reclaim It.
The largo corporations also wero
charged by Senator Vardaman with
maintaining the sale price of coal
through publication dC "circular prices."
The prices, the statement said, weie
put out by the Heading Company and
were "the law of the business.'
