Description
Excerpt from Why I Am a Socialist
By the regulations of the Board of Health only anthra cite coal could be burned in the city. For years the retail price had been $5 a ton. I suppose that few persons in the worst of the East Side tenement houses had ever bought at one time a ton of coal. For one reason, there was no place to put it; and for another the average tene ment dweller never had at one time $5 to expend on coal. Universally, the poorest bought their coal at the corner grocery, a pailful at a time. There the price was ten cents for a pailful.
When this was translated into ton weights it meant that they were buying coal at the rate of $15 a ton.
