PRESIDENT FIXES
COAL PRICE
Harry A. Garfield Made Administrat-
or-Retail Charges Will be
Next Regulated

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. g.
Government control of the coal In
dustry was made almost complete to-
night when President Wilson nam
ed DR.. H. Garfield, president of Will
liam's college, fuel administrator, hx-
ed anthracite prices for producers and
jobbers and set a limit on profits to
be made by bituminous wholesalers.
The next and final step will be TO
make regulations for coal distribu-
tion and to fix anthracite and btu
minous retail prices. This will be
done when a distribution program is
perfected and when the federal trade
commission has completed a plan
under which retail profits may be
fixed.
The anthracite scale for railroad
owned mines which include practic-
ally all the big producers, follows:
White ash, broken, $4.55.
Egg, $4.45.
Stove, $4.70.
Chestnut, $3.50.
Pea, 81.
Red ash, broken, $4.75.
Egg, $4.65.
Stove, $4.9O.
Chestnut, $4.9O.
Pea. $4.10.
Lykens valley, broken, IS.
Egg, $4.90.
Stove, $4.90.
Chestnut. $3.50.
Pea, $4.35.
Other producers may charge an ad-
vance of IS cents ton of 2,24O
pounds over the figure set for the
railroad-owned mines. Those who in
cur the expense of rescreening at At
lantic or lake ports may add an ad-
ditional cents a ton.
Bituminous profits for jobbers are
fixed at Is cents ton of 1000
pounds, and the same restrictions
that govern dealings by number of
anthracite jobbers apply to bitumin-
Gus transactions.
The presidents order forbids rail-
road-owned mines from selling to
other mines, and prohibits dealers
from selling coal produced by rail-
road-owned mines on basis of prices
fixed for other mines.
The bituminous jobbers' prices be-
come effective Immediately, as btu
minous mine prices announced last
night.
DR.. Garfield announced tonight he
would institute licensing system
for all coal dealings from the mine to
the retailer and that IN prices were
.fixed for retailers the licensing would
be extended to cover retail dealings.
Colorado Operators Protest
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 6.-The
Colorado Coal Operators Association
representing sixty operators of the
state, at a meeting todap protested
the action of President Wilson in fix
ing the prices at the mine of btu
minous coal on the ground that the
prces were fixed without investigating
mining and marketing conditions by
the federal trade commission or any
other government agency. A tele-
gram was drafted to be sent to Presi-
dent Wilson. Its contents were not di-
vulged.

However, for years prior purchase Alaska from Russia and before there exploitation US mineral resources American vessels from San Francisco carried on cod fishing in Alaskan This however was
 modest effort compared with the present great industry which has made salmon and other fishing products from Alaska known to many nations and which has produced values of many million dollars per year.
 The chief importance of the fisheries the territory lies Tn the salmon industry. Next importance is the haibut fish cry which, yet has been only partially developed but which offers great promise for the future The herring industry also very important and other food fishes abound in the waters that are yet utilized only limited extent Incud ed in the list various species of trout together with ng wlteflsh rockfish black col candesh and others In addition to the numerous species of fish found in these waters the whale industry is important and there many places quantities of clams musses crabs and shrimps.
