SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE
CALLED OFF
BY GOVERNOR
Action of President in Fixing
Prices for Coal Causes
Goodrich to Stop Special
Meeting Plans.
new RATE PRAISED

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. z2. - There
will be no special session Of the In
diana general assembly for the pres
ent at least, due to the Presidents ac-
ton, fixing the price of coal at the
mines, according to statement given
out by Governor Goodrich.
The statement said that conditions
may arise later which will necessitate
a special session Of the legislature,
will be laid aside for at least month.
to begin laying in the winter coal sup
ply. The statement in part follows:
Indiana with the entire country ap-
that has been taken by President Will
son In fixing war prices for coal.
"Priee is Fair"
THE price which he has fixed for
the Indiana and other bituninous
fields is fair price. 1t will yield a
reasonable profit to the operators. To
the consumer it will reduce the prices
which have been characterized as out
rageous.'
This step, taken by the President
time being, the calling of a special ses-
sion of the Indiana legislature. Con-
ditions may arise which may neces-
state special session but at least for
a month that matter will be laid aside
from our consideration. This an
nouncement I feel certain will be as
gratifying to the people Of this state
as the announcement made by the
hi Iva IN, {c1, n a w.
es the price OF coal at the mines.
: with what must be considered to
be fair war prices for coal established,
advise all OF our people to begin to
lay in a coal supply for this winter.
II have no doubt that the operators
will see the wisdom OF carrying into
full effect this decree of the govern
ment, which has behind it the united
support Of the people of this country,
and which provides fair profits for op.
orators.
"PeopIe VIII Know"
Everyone will know what the price
of coal is at the mine. To this cost
must be added the freight rate to the
points where used. People will gener-
ally know what is fair price beyond
the total Of these two figures. The
dispatches from Washington indicate,
however that the Presidents next step
will be to put similar limitations on the
coal dealers and middlemen.
"The federal trade commissions re-
port of its investigation Of coal han
ding in the city of Indianapolis indi-
Gates that the high price of coal has
not been chargeable entirely to the
nine operators. The manner In which
the government has dealt with the
mine operators will serve as a fair
warning to the coal dealers and other
middlemen that excessive profit TAX
ing between the mines and the con-
sumner will not be tolerated.
These dealers, however, must have
fair and reasonable profit, and Presi-
dent Wilson has shown by his treat
ment Of the mine operators that he is
not unmindful Of fair recompense for
service rendered"

LONDON NEWSPAPERS CALL FOR AIR MPRSALS upon GERMANY
SEND PACKAGE OF AMERICAN SMOKES
TO AN AMERICAN SOLDIER IN FRANCE
The West Virginian VIII See
That 1t Is Placed Right
in His Hands.

One OF the first things the Amcri-
can soldiers found when they landed
IN France was that the French tobac-
CO would not do. Frantic appeals
were sent to friends and relatives on
this side to send on some smokes.
Some of those appeals have reached
Fairmont and some tobacco already
has been sent from this city to young
men in the Expeditionary force. But
although the amount sent in each case
was large, considering the distance.
1t will be merely drop in the bucket
Before the craving for American to-
bacco can be satisfied there will have
to be supply large enough for all
the smokers in the army on the other
side.
The government has recognized
this to the extent OF getting the
French government to admit the to-
bacco free of duty and a number of
newspapers among them The West
Firginian. have arranged with the
American Tobacco company to take
charge of getting the tobacco into the
hands of the soldiers.
be possible for people acting through
the newspapers and the Tobacco COM
pany to send tobacco direct to partic-
ular soldiers. but 1t has been found
that this cannot be done. The near
est approach TO the personal touch is
a postal card which is enclosed in
each of the packages of tobacco upon
which the recipient will write an &C.
knowledgement. Under this plan
every one who buys % cent package
Of tobacco in time will receive
through the mails one OF these cards
indicating that the quarters worth of
comfort has reached an American sol
der on the battle front, and that it
has made him happy Such cards
ought to make most interesting me-
mentos OF Americas participation in
the war.
The plan operates in this way: II
you feel inclined 70 send smokes to
the soldiers give The West Virginlan
twenty-five cents-you can give as
much more as you want to, but tven-
ty-five cents will be enough-and The
