Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 October 1905 — The Price of Coal. [ARTICLE]

The Price of Coal.

The anthracite coal commission reports the average selling price of coal at tidewater as $4.64, which fixes the miners’ wages as 2 per cent over the basis fixed by the strike commissionera* award. The price at the mines is about *2, so you can figure what the railroads are charging you and if you think the charge is reasonable.
