fixed for coal in Oklahoma are lower
than the cost Of production The tele.
gram asserted that number of com.
anies would be forced out Of business.
as production prices constantly are go.
ing higher and, in some cases. material
is now 300 per cent higher than normal.
II am in~hearty sympathy with the

duct of this war, and realize the neces-
sity Of fixing prices Of fuel" said the

dent, but may | ask that you cause to
be investigated the conditions in the
