Last week Pres. 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

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. Further deVelopement
in this tragedy (for it is tragedy
for the freezing poor) will be await
