Man From Washington, d. c.
Arriues In Canon City And Kicks
OUer The Work of Local Fuel
Administration In Short Order.

short visit of Mr.. Tobias to Canon
City.
1t is said that this government rep
resentatiye from Washington. ID. c..
gave out the impression while here
that coal prices were matters entirely
for government consideration and that
conclusions we're arrived at only after
consultations with coal miners. coal
mine operators and retail coal deal
ers and that is was not considered any
of the public's business how the ng.
ures were arrived at or why-in fact
that coal consumers had no business
butting in on the question and should
adjust Themselves to prices set as
cheerfully and patrioticaliy as pos
sible.
Local dealers have not announced
publicalIy what course they will fol-
low. but so far as the fuel administra-
ton is concerned the prics may be
raised to s645 in ton lots and no far
as the mines further out than No. 8,
are concerned. they can ask 500 n
ton IL they can get ii. ~
Members of the local fuel board are
frank in saying that they consider
that their talents in the way of ad-
'ministrative service, have been over
estimated anG that :hav fee: that the
policy of the fuel administration
would be better served If the Job
we're turned over to a night marshal. a
constable and a track walker.

In SO far as the National Fuel Ad-
mnistration is concerned local dealers
in Canon City may raise the price of
lump coal up to s6.45 for ton lots and
maintain the price of $500 for load
lots
Such is the advice received Thurs
day by Henry Hutton. chairman of the
local board of fuel administrators
from w. ]. Galiigan state fuel admin
istrator.
This advance Ia based on the recon-
mendation of q Washington represen-
tative of the fuel administration who
was here Saturday and not on the
recommendation of the local board.
Some weeks ago the local board was
asked to investigate the question OF
coal prices in Canon City and report
it's findings to Mr.. Galligan. Mr.. Gal
Hgan had practically told the local
be adopted. The local board made a
thorough investigation of the matter.
1t heard both sides to the controversy.
The dealers asked for an advance to
$645-it being intimated. however.
that the dealers would be satisfied
with s6.45 for ton lots and 1920 for
load lots. -
A consumers. committee made some
independent investigation and recon-
mended that the present price could
be reduced to $500 for tons and s5.34
for load lots.
Last week the local board of fuel
administration sent In It's report. rec.
ommending that the maximum price.
in Canon City be set at 1910 for ton
lots and 1885 for load lots.
On Saturday Mr.. Chas. ]. Tobias.
special representative of the fuel nd
m nistration from Washington. D. c..
came into town. He conferred first
with the local dealers. after which he
met with the local board of fuel ad-
rninietrators.
II is said by members of the local
board that 1t didn't take Mr.. Tobias
many minutes to prove to them that
they had been on wild goose chase
administration wasn't of very much
importance. He told them in about so
many words that they didn't have
anything to do with coal prices; that
their chief duties were to watch the
coal cars and see that they were
properly loaded to capacity and that
empties didn't hang around the rail
road Yards over long; that the presi-
dent Of the United States had set the
price at the mine at S4.45: that It was
not becoming in any local fuel admin
istrator or of any patriotic citizen to
criticize the president on the prices of
coal at the mine; that the fuel admin
istration had determined to allow 10
cal dealers $500 ton to be added to
the mine price of s4.45: that 1t did
not need much Of a mathematician TO
add $4.45 to $500 and arrive at $6.45
for the maximum retail price: that II
didn't make any difference what the
dealer paid at the mine he could use
the figures $445 plus $500 to arrive
at his selling price. il he could get 1t;
and that 1t was unlawful for local
dealers to form combine to main
tain prices.
That is about all tho information
the local board got out Of Mr.. Tobias
and he did not ask the board to give
