Seek Cause of Soaring Coal Costs

Wentz Defends War Dept Coal Deals Under Senate Probe
Chairman Calder of New York referenced the arrangement during Colonel Wentz testimony on War Department coal deliveries last summer. Wentz said he supplied 70 000 tons at just over 7 dollars per ton, earning 81 000 in commissions, and could have earned 101 000 more but refused due to the falling market. Senator Kenyon questioned a 9 ¼ dollar price to the War Department for seven coal cars, noting mining costs of 3 ¼ dollars per ton, and pressed where the 6 dollar profit went while Wentz claimed his role ended at securing market price.
