WEST VIRGINIA COAL PRICE IL
CUT TO $500 BY OPER-
ATORS ACTION

Washington, June 2S-The sweeping
reductions in the price of bltuminous
coal at all mines east of the Mississippi
river, ranging from one to five dollars
ton to the public with further cut
of fifty cents for the government we're
agreed upon today, at conferences the
operators and government officials.
The new prices become effective July
/.
Four hundred operators who gather
ed here yesterday at call from Sec
rotary Lane and pledged themselves to
furnish their product at the reasonable
price, were represented in the final
conference by committees from each
field.
Earlier in the day they had agreed
to place the price fixing in the hands
OF the government, through the de-
Tense councils coal production COM
mittee, Secretary Lane and Commits
sioner Fort of the Federal Trade Com
mission, thus avoiding the possibility
of violating the antitrust laws.
Director Smith of the geological sur
vey, estimated that the reduced prices
would mean that the operators would
get $3.50, 100000 less annually for their
output and that the saving to the
government and the coal consuming
public would be even greater.
Commissions Limited
In addition to placing prices upor
coal at the mines it was announced
that jobbers, brokers', retailers ant
commission men would be permitted
to charge commissions Of not more
than twenty-five cents ton and tina
no more than one commission should
be charged In other words, the con
sumer will get his coal at the min,
price plus transportation charges ant
twenty-five cents per ton.
