Emergency!

tSDec1aI TO Inc I1meS.1
SEATTLE, Aug. 81.
Prompt steps to accelerate
the coal production OF the
state, I'm the face OF increas-
ing consumption of fuel by
industries, must be taken by
Fuel Administrator II. A.
Garfield to meet the present
emergency, according to q
telegram sent last night by
the Seattle Chamber Of Com
MERGE and Commercial club.
That the fuel situation In Ore
gon and Washington is completely
upset by the action of the oil COM
panies serving notice that no fuel
oil will be sold in this territory
after today, was the statement Of
the telegram, which asked that the
administration protect the Iublic
from high prices resulting from
supply shortages.
On account of the diversion of
oil, says the message, and the en-
tire territory increasing fuel re-
quirements because of the govern
ment shipbuilding campaign and
the shutting off at the same time
of shipments of coal from British
Columbia and Wyoming. the total
increase of coal production TO
meet those needs. will be not less
than 100000 tons month, and
probably much greater.

MAYOR
PLANS
DEPOT

\ municipal coal depot for
Tacoma, TO keep down fuel
prices this winter, IL being
planned by Mayor Fawcett.
Aroused by the failure Of
fuel dealers to reduce prices,
In the face of u government
edict fixing the rate of WASH
ington coal at S3.25 n ton at
the mine. Mayor Fawcett de-
clared Friday that the city
would take drastic steps this
fall 10 control the coal situa-
ton here.
According to Fawcett's plan, the
city will purchase coal In 100-car-
load lots, paying the governments
1925 rate at the mines.
Delivery by the city could be
made thru "A central depot at not
more than 50 ton, making the
retail price to Tacomans about
1925.
The soaring coal prices were
brought sharply to the mayors
attention Friday when his secre-
tary, II. X. Rockhill, issued a call
for bids on fuel for the contagion
hospital.
Raise of $3!
Coal dealers who last year furn-
ished the fuel at $3.50 asked
$3.50 Friday, and would only
quote this price for a period Of IS
hours.
The mayor instructed Rockhill
to invest gate the possibility OF
purchasing the coal In carload lots
from the mines.
The mayor also declared
that he was preparing TO
fight the increase In retail
prices of milk, which has been
announced to take effect Sat
urday.
Coal prices in Tacoma are ex-
orbitant and there is no legitimate
excuse for such an increase" de-
clared the mayor.
Now that the government has
set maximum price for coal at
the mine. the local dealers should
iCuuCc thcii pliScby pCCduoc tn0
government has also decided that
their legitimate profit should only
be 10 cents a ton. But the deal
ers refuse to show patriotic
spirit by reducing their enormous
war profits.
Simple to Arrange.
THE city can establish coal
depot and sell coal at retail for IS
a ton. We can even deliver It to
all parts of the city at that figure.
1t won't take much money to fin
ance the plan, and it will certainly
be boon to the people.
I'm going to establish such .
depot unless the dealers show q
disposition to reduce prices"
