PROBE OF INCREASED PRICE |
OF COAL BY FEDERAL BOARD
Advances Following Raise of Wages
Arouses the Suspicious of the I
Trade Commission.

Washington, May 11.-Following the
approval of advances, ranging from Is,
cents to so cents a ton in the whole
sale price of anthracite coal, by the
operators, the federal trade commits
sion announced it would take up with
the department of justice the question:
of an investigation of the anthracite
industry.
The department had suggested an
inquiry if prices were raised following,
the wage advance just given to an
thracite workers.
Plan to Investigate.
A first advance goes into effect
June 1 and the final increase becomes
effective September l, according to-
circulars sent to retail dealers.
The commission made public in con-
nection with it's announcement, a let.
ter replying to the departments sug%
gestion for an investigation. This
suggestion, signed by Attorney Gen.
eral Gregory called attention to price
raises that have followed other wage
advances in the past and said:
Excuse for Increasing Prices.
1T has been brought out In various
legal proceedings against the anthra-
cite roads that on similar occasions in
the past, when wages have been adj
vanced, the railroad coal companies
on the pretext of increasing prices for
the purpose Of meeting the increased
cost of production resulting from high
er wages. have made much greater in
creases than were necessary for that
purpose"

eddy declared, it cannot dispense with
the conduct of warfare against enc
my trade. The German government,
however, has now decided to make a
further concession, adapting methods
of submarine war to the interests of
| neutrals.
I'm reaching this decision the Ger
man government is actuated by con-
siderations which are above the level
of the disputed question.
Helped Develop Laws.
THE German government attaches
no less importance to the sacred prin.
ciples of humanity than the govern.
ment of the United States. 1t again
fully takes into account that both
Governments for many years coop
Grated in developing international law
in conformity with these principles,
the ultimate object of which has al
| ways been to confine warfare on sea
and land to armed forces Of belliger.
ents and safeguard, as far as possible
noncombatants against the horrors
of war. But although these consid-
erations are of great weight, they
alone would not, under present circum-
stances, have determined the attitude
of the German government
BIames British Government.
For in answer to the appeal by the
government Of the United States on
behalf of the sacred principles of hui
mainly and international law, the Ger
man government must repeat once
more, will all emphasis. that it was
not the German but the British gov
eminent which ignored all accepted
rules of international law and ex-
tended this terrible war to the lives
and property of noncombatants, hav-
ing no regard whatever for the in
terests and rights of neutrals and
noncombatants that through this meth
cd of warfare have been severely in
jured.
"In selfdefense against the illegal
| conduct of British warfare while fight
ing bitter struggle for national exist
ence, Germany had to resort to the
hard but effective weapon of submar-
inc warfare
U. S. Attempts Failed.
Several attempts made by the gov
eminent of the United States to pre-
vail upon the British government to
act accordingly failed because of a
fiat refusal on the part of the British
government. Moreover, Great Brit
ain again and again has violated in
ternational law surprising all bounds
in outraging neutral rights. The lat
est measure adopted by Great Britain
declaring German bunker coal contra
band, and establishing conditions un-
der which English bunker coal alone
is supplied to neutrals, is nothing but
an unheard-of attempt by way Of ex-
action to force neutral tonnage into
