If s Your RigKt to Know if Coal Prices are Wrong TS the price of anthracite coal unfair ? The public is entitled to all the facts. x Here are some of them as they relate to the price of anthracite at the mine. Others will follow. Trace the course of a dollar spent today for anthra cite. .The price situation unfolds as you go forward. For example, the mine owner takes the dollar and puts it to work. The first call upon it and therefore mentioned first comes from mine workers. They take approximately 65 cents of it for wages. Wages are fixed by the 1920 award of the U. S. Anthracite Coar Commission, de creeing that the scale remain in force until March 31, 1922. Thirty five cents of the dollar is now available. t To be spent how ? Fifteen cents goes for various supplies necessary in maintaining the mine, its breakers and pumping plants. Not a penny of profit clings to the mine owner in these purchases. The dollar now is down to twenty cents. These go for insurance, taxes, selling expense, depletion, depre ciation of plant and equipment and such uninsurable risks as strikes, mine fires and floods. What remains is the "margin" out of which the profit must come. The U. S. Federal Trade Commission says: "MflrXn must not be confused with what is often called profit. ScllinR expense, interest, income and excess profit taxes, as well as other items, must be deducted from it before the net profit available for dividends or surplus from the operation can be determined. " What Is the Anthracite Producers Profit PER TON? The facts as established by the U. S. Federal Trade Commission are published broadcast. They are known to all men. Anthracite owners' "margins," according to that authority were less than 39 cents per gross ton in 1918. This represented operations producing 95 per cent of the total tonnage of fresh mined anthracite. From 1913 to 1918 inclusive (covering the war period) the margin on which mine owners depended for profit was 42.8 cents per ton. From this had to be paid interest, selling expenses, Federal taxes, etc., before anything was available for dividends. In other words, whatever the price you paid for coal say $7 to $14 the mine owner on the average never retained more than 43 cents per ton on your total coal bill. This shows that there ware no inflated war-time profits. Today the average "margin" in the anthracite region does not exceed 60 cents a ton. The operator is for tunate whose margin approximates that figure. Only a few exceed it, most of them make less, and many ar operating at a loss.
