DEALERS ARE ALSO READY TO STRIKE (Continued from Vatte On- ) cents the actual cost of handling coal by the retailer dealer of the Calumet district. In a. recent articles I read where the retail dealer was allowed $2.25 preitit on a ton of coal by the state commission. It has been not only ringing in my cars since I read it but my friends approach m, and tell me that I must be making lot ejf money In the coal bu; iness. 1 even drum about w hat 1 could io if I could get a $2.25 protit on all the coal I could sell in one yeari These arc the fa-t. This $2.25 is supposed to cover thi; cost of handling the coal from the time it Is bet on our track, until it is delivered to the consumer and Is paid for. There arc about 25 or 5T different items that go into the cost of handling cal. First of all the unloading which runs at the very least 25 cents fir unloading flat bottom cars to -15 and 50 cents fjr hopper cars. Then there is the rent ef .ard and office, if not rented the interest on the investment. Then ttie ieam"lng end cf it which includes wages to teamsters; feed lor 'ixoz.'r. rf supplies to trucks, liorseshoing; depreciation on wagons; trucks; harness; etc. Then there is the overhead which takes in office help, proprietors salary, commissions to agents, advertising: postage; I hone; light; heat; stationery and printing; taxes; Insurance: equipment maintenance; etc, etc. There you have your handling cost, which is not all. How well It Is known among dealers that they do not receive a single car of coal that will weigh ov.t. They will weigh anywhro from one ton to five tons short. So you must add another CO to 40 cents per ton to your handling cost for .shortage, shrinkage, etc. About this time if ou are doing a 6,000 to S0J0 tons annual business at present prices you will find your costs averaging for the year around $2.75 to $3.00 per ton for handling. So much for coats. Now you have not startc-J to figure as yet. During the war the Federal Fuel Administration allowed tlio retailer to add 25 All the Hob-Goblins.
