COAL. DEALERS
PRICE

Washington, July Goal dealers Of
Freeport, H., telegraphed today a pro-
test to Representative Mckenzie of 1lli-
nois, against the recent price reduction
agreed to by the 400 bituminous coal
operators with the National Council of
Defense Coal Production committee. The
Freeport dealers sent this message:
Enter protest against the farce per-
petuated on the public. Operators nave
not reduced their price one penny and
we are compelled to pay 50 per ton for
the same grade coal over last year. The
public is possibly saved millions by
placing maximum price on their already
exhorbitant price. but how many mil
Ions are they adding to their own
profits? They admit the extra cost of
mining does not exceed sixty cents.
