BULGE ON COAL
PRICE TOO Big
TO RETAILERS
Blakemore Thinks Cost
Laid Down at Head of
Lakes is Excessive

Fuel Administrator Robert B
Blakemore last night addressed q
letter to State Fuel Administrator
Isaac p. Baker OF Bismarck, asking
for light" on the wide margin in
prices existing on both hard and soft
coal grades at the Head Of the Lakes
and prices fixed by the government
at the mines. which on soft coal
amounts to nearly as much as the
cost Of a ton Of coal at the mine.
That an investigation should be
conducted Is the opinion Of the ad-
ministrator after studying prices
fixed by the President on hard and
soft coal at the mines and jobbers'
margins, transportation charges
from the Great Lakes to Fargo,
amounting to S1.Ss on soft coal and
S1.73 on anthracite, and the prices
asked by the Fargo retail coal deal
ers. The administrator could not be
furnished with information by local
dealers as to transportation charges
from the mines to the docks at the
Head Of the Lakes.
Discrepancy Somewhere.
With the government regulations
prohibiting more than one PROFIT On
a ton Of coal from the mine TO the
west making q reasonable profit, the
state fuel administrator believes that
discrepancies will be found when
transportation costs are fully studied
on hauls from the mines to the docks
at Duluth and Superior. Differences,
or margins in prices asked by dock
companies to retailers and those at
the mine run as high as $2.15 on
hard coal and S4-25 on bituminous.
There Is other angle in which to view
such conditions and place the re-
sponsibility than on transportation
charges, which under eastern trafic
should be cheaper than hauls in the
west.
That companies making hauIs over
the water knowing that there Is a
car shortage existing in the north
| west and in the east, have advanced
| their transportation charges to con-
form with those asked by the rail-
roads, has been intimated as one
possible solution to the question.
who is getting the profit? With
railroad cars in demand, especially
in the large shipping centers Of the
east, the water front companies see
no competition when in years that
the roads were able to supply cars,
prices were cut way below rail
| charges to get the business.
According to the fuel administrator
for this district retail prices are too
high in the northwest, but he does
not blame the retailers. He states
that North Dakota retail dealers are
now paying $7.65 per ton for hard
coal at the docks at the head Of the
lakes. The government prescribed
price at the hard coal mines IN Vir-
ginia Is $3.50. A profit of 80 -centS
per ton is allowed the jobbers viii G!
makes the total cost at the mines
$50 per ton. The price charged the
northwest retailers at the docks at
the head Of the lakes is $7.65. It il
this difference in profit which the
commissioner believes is keeping the
price OF coal up in the northwest
and which he would like to see ir-
vestigated.
Administrator Blakemore has no
figures to show what the cost
