'And you de net knew today what
ether operator nre cettlne for their
tenl?"
"All I knew la whnt I have neon
in the newspapera," wni the reply.
Then he lashed the newspapers for their
alleged iiiInreprcpntntlens.
A reinarkiiblc pnnat'cn for high prlces
was offered by Mr. Williams. It will
undoubtedly utrike net only Pblladrl
phians, but every householder who has
a ten or two of cenl in his cellar, wheie
eidlnnrily he would have bis bins full,
as a wonderful remedy. Here It Is:
If the people would Ktep buying cenl,
the price would fall overnight. There
is a coal panic. People In New Yetk
and elsewhere are heaidlng coal.
Distilct Attorney Lewis Instantly
challenged the assertion. If there Is
coal hoarding bow could the witness nc
ennnt for the ceiifpKsed coal hhertnge
and tlie I ns shown in efficinl reports of the gee
insisted I logical surve.i 't The further fact that
if there was tin un- , New Yerk was crying for coal nnd
unable te obtain it, except nt the most
exorbitant prices'
Mr. Williams tdeutly denied the ns
sertlnn of Fuel Administrator lleltninii,
of MassachiiscttK, that there was a
dnngi'ieus shortage of cenl through New
rtiglntul and outrageous prices. Mr.
Ileltnuin. one of the first witnesses, hnd
Miid-en. In fact, he said, be did tint I testified te this. Ills statements were
'lialnlj te the effect that steam si'es
of anthracite were a byproduct sold
at n much lower figure than house
hold sizes. That it was really n less te
the ce.il predmers; that Is, It was sold
at a less !
Senater Kdgp Instantly countered by
inquiring why If It was a by product it
was n less?
A leti-j and labored explanation en
sued, punctuated by chnrn ipieries from
Senater I'dge, who bntidled this sub
ject for the committee exdushely. lie
liriinteh siul (hat lie get his pointer
from the Km.nm.ne lMMit.tr Lfikimi.
The nn-weis of the witness fulled
te ceniinci hitn. The esplnnntlen did
net explain the injustice of the ac
tion. Perhaps the most striking fentuie
of Vbe P"csilent Williams' testimony
wa tint ri'iim?i: te prices ni iinnieiu

chiiirman. Senater t'alder
in mi knowing whj
I'.'ist mding among the operators, n
l.ractlcal uniformity of pi lees upon

untbriiilt. lesion.
The witness positively affirmed that
then- was no pilce llxing ngreenient. ar
rangemeiii or understanding. He spoke
for hi- own company, the Delaware and
knew what the prices of ether coal
companies were.
Ignorant of Ceal Price
"IVi ou mean te say," Inquired Sen Sen
aeor Kdge. "that you de net knew the
prices asked hv jour competitors for
their ce.ilV"
