A Boston coal dealer told a legislative committee that annual coal consumption is about 2,000,000 tons. A proposed 25-cent per ton tax hike at shipping ports would lift Boston's costs by about half a million dollars for the coal trust. A 50-cent rise could approach a million dollars, prompting a call to strike at the root of the coal monopoly rather than building a municipal coal yard.
