"It weu'd be an error te assume that fundamentally the high prices paid for ipet coal arc te be ascribed mainly te the Jargc experts," says the report. "There also has been an abnormal do mestic situation. The foreign demand Intensified the abnormal domestic de mand nnd the several factors together afforded nn opportunity for the exacting of prices net justified by the cost of production." 80,000,000 Toils Left United States During the first nine lrientlw of 1020 the commission's tables show that n total of 30.27.'l.:i70 tens of coal left the country, of which 1!."$, 500,01:, tens was MDert coal and 0,713,300 tens was for foreign bunkers.

The disposition of Dr. E. AV. Parker, chief of the Anthracite Bureau of In formation in Philadelphia, te answer the charges with "epithets Instead of wets and ligurcs, Sir.

Only a sweeping I Investigation of the entire industry, he laid, could bring about the constructive reforms In the hurd-ceal trade necessary , te guarantee the public fair prices' for I domestic fuel. "The attitude of the anthracite in dustry," continued Sir. I,auck, "is atrictly negative and devoid of any sense of public responsibility. As n matter of fact, nt the lecent hearing of the an- i thraclte commission, they even claimed , mat tne public was net interested In the proceedings. A further Illustration of that attitude is furnished by their refusal at the present time te make any reports te the Federal Trade Commis Cemmis Commis ilen showing their cost of production. "Public Should Demand Investigation" "The public should demand nnd se cure an Investigation which would break oevn and effectively turn te public ben tilt the present monopolistic and., ex ploiting alliance between the anthracite-carrying railroads the coal-producing companies nnd the cenl-sales lempanies.
