duties of his office vigorously, and
report any Irregularities at once,
Many Duties
Ihe duties of the committee as
laid out by the national fuel admin
lStratlon are numerous. The commit
Tee must gather accurate informa-
uon from the dealers as to the amount
or coal on hand. Where there is any
large amounts on hand special report
must be made, in case of emergency
The fuel needs of the community
must be ascertained and reported
There must be a weekly report on
prices charged, and the gross mar
gin charged by each dealer. The COM
mittee must investigate contra acts
made between dealers and manufac-
turers or consumers. Where these
contracts are found, the committee
must see to 1t that the dealers make
their deliveries promptly, even where
the contract calls for the delivery of
the coal at pricer lower Chan that
allowed by the President
Any complaint against dealers. in
regard to excess profits or distribu-
ton, must be made to the local coal
committee The committee will have
jurisdiction over the dealers, but not
over the mines which supply them
All reports of the committee will be
made to William Potter, state fuel
administrator at Philadelphia.
HickOk Explains
Mr.. Hickok this morning explain
ed the regulation of the prices in the
following manner. The dealer must
figure the actual cost of every bit of
coal he has on hand, on his railroad
siding, and the freight charges.
These costs must agree exactly
with the coal and freight bills, re-
gardless of what the cost of the coal
might be at the time the cost is fig
ured. Then the dealers must add
thirty per cent. to the retail gross
margin of 1915, and this added to
the cost of the coal is the price they
may charge.
The retail gross margin is the diff
ference between the price charged
by the retail dealer to the consumer
and the average cost of the coal to
the retailer, free on board railroad
cars at the railroad shifting. where
the coal is received by rail.
Dealers Must Report
Dealers must figure the cost of
their coal and make a sworn report
to the committee at least once a
month. Then any complaint by GUS
toners as to excess prices must be
made to the committee, which will
compare the complaints with the
sworn reports.
Mr.. Hickok does not think that the
coal situation in Harrisburg will
cause much trouble. His opinion is
that the recent shortage was caused
by the shipment of coal into the
northwest in order that those points
might be well supplied before the ad-
vent of snow.
He stated that in his opinion coal
will be shipped into this district now.
He thinks that with proper distribu-
ton, and the prohibition of boarding,
every one will be properly supplied.
When told that some dealers are re-
ceiving a bonus for the delivery of
their coal. he stated that such ir-
regularities will be reported at once
to the state fuel administrator. He
stated that in his opinion dealers
should sell coal in at least one-ton
lots.

 The actual duration of this sus- pensiou will be a matter of keen in- kereet. No doubt it will depend on fhe character of showing that Mana
 ger McGraw makes in defence Of his
 action. Secretary John B. Foster and 2 several members of the club have uled with Tener an andavit stating 5 that McGraw was thoroughly justi-
 ned in his attack on Byron. This.
 however, is . question that Tener
