Baer of the Coal Trust came out in an interview in which he placed the blame for the scarcity of coal in New York upon the lazy miners and the independ ent operators. The next day the New York World printed photo graphs showing about fifty miles of loaded coal cars near Jersey City. This coal is owned by the P. A K. the D. L. AW. and the C. R. of N.J. Shocked by the photographic exposure Pres. Thomas came to the aid ol Baer with an interview in which he said, "true it is we have the coal but there are not lighters enough to transport it across the raging waters of the Hudson." Then the World unkindly printed another photograph showing hun dreds of lighters and canal boats tied np in their winter quarters all of which their owners said they would be glad to pat to' work. In reply to thiß the last statement of the Trust is that while it may be true they have the coal and could get the lighters, yet the goal is froz en in the cars and no mortal could move it.
