BETTER HESITATE BEFORE ENTERING COAL BUSINESS ('l‘oronto Saturday Night.) ‘ If Canadian mu.nici1;)alit~ies are wise they will think twice and then hesitate before they launch any considerable scheme to go into the coal business. First of all it is very doubtful, indeed, whether any of| our cities or towns can buy coal from any of the large and more reputable producers. and buy it at the proper price. All, or pretty ,nearly all, the coal coming from the United States is handled by the railways who act in co-operation with the mine owners. In other words, there is so close an affilia- tion between the two that it is very doubtful indeed if any important mining company could be found that would tender for the business of a city or town. For instance, the waterworks department of the city of Montreal attempted to buy coal direct from the producer, but could find no coal company that would undertake to tender for the order, which was a very large one. The large private coal distrib- utors in this country are all more or less closely affiliated with rail- ways, and with the coal companies‘ back of these railways. In many instances there is a direct connec- tion, in other words the railways, and in turn, the mines, which are either owned or are controlled by the railways, are directly interest- ed in the coal distributing corpora- tions of our larger cities. Naturâ€" ally these companies holding the coal trade in their hands as they 2 c own ends by selling to their com-- petitors. To those unfamiliarwith the coal trade it may be remarked that with the strangle hold which the American coal roads have upon the situation it is not half so easy to buy the product as it looks.
