THE REASON FOR PRICE FIXING.

When the Federal Government ap- ponted a Fuel Administrator in the person of Dr. Harry A. Garfield, it did so not with the idea of giving one man a high sounding title, but for tho purpose of adjusting coal prices throughout the land The period of proflteering was then at its height. Taking advantage of war conditions many men in the various realms of trade also took advantage of the gen. oral public. Producers. distributors, wholesalers, all down the line made | concerted drive against the unpro- teoted ultimate consumer. The coal dealers, retail and wholesale. were not aloof from taking a hand in the work. They had a finger in the pie.
 Having assumed the burden,-it might be called the white mans bur den were it not for the fact that all colors of skin are involved,-Dr. Gar field evolved a plan of action. This Is a big country. The job of adminis-
 
 populace is big contract. So the Federal Fuel Administrator set about the work in logical way. He took the bull by the horns and found it a hard animal to throw. There be- ing 4S states in the Union it was thought there should be a coal ad- ministrator for each of the several states. with Dr. Garfield holding the whip hand in Washington. So it was that State Fuel Administrator Russell was appointed to take care of Con- necticut. It stands to reason that MT. Russell knows his Connecticut much better than Dr. Garfield who could not devote his entire time to any one particular state. And yet even Mir. Russell would not undertake the task of setting coal prices for all of Connecticut's cities and towns, there being 26 important ones. So he ap- portioned the task to local committees, just as the Federal authorities had devised.

was appointed, comprising three men of reputable standing representative men. and men who were fair and square in their dealing with both sides involved. At least no charges have
 been brought against them. To these
 fell the task of recommending the
 prices for coal to be fixed in this com
 munity. After investigation, their
 findings were to be reported to the
 State Fuel Administrator and from
 there forwarded to Washington. the
 last court Whatever prices the
 Federal Fuel Administrator ordered
 were to stand. These prices have been
 named, and the public is by this time
 well acquainted with them.
 Now come the coal dealers of New
 Britain and set up a cry of Wolf.
 They shout. from the house-tops, of
 injustice, the while they set afloat
 stories of coal famine and proclaim
 business in this town is sliding down
 the we'll greased toboggan to perdi-
 tion; that they cannot do business
 under the new prices. In support of
 their arguments the dealers show
 bills which carry totally different
 prices for coal at the mines than
 those quoted by the Government
 which has fixed the prices for this
 commodity. Some of these bills, we
 have noted, are dated before the
 Governments order, went into effect
 Others show that the dealers here
 purchased Independent coal, and not
 Company coal the latter being much
 cheaper in price. They claim they
 cannot get Company coal. Whatever CTS, as well as the public, should be given justice. And yet they had their chance, with the public, to present the truth of the matter. When the local committee was appointed the 1 dealers were asked to open their l books, to lay their cards on the table. | It has been charged that they were l somewhat reluctant to do this, that 1 they held back, that they did not 1 make a clean breast of it, that they, 1 in word, were guilty of commercial r camouflage. If this is true, they are now suffering from the results of their own sins. The public is profiting be- cause it could and did show proof of oppression. The coal prices here were too high, or they would not have been lowered. Had the coal prices been too low. had they been of such a na- ture that the dealers were suffering, and not the public. the prices would have been made higher. It was not the intent or the purport of the coal to lower prices. That might just as we'll have made the prices higher. It's duty was to fix fair and reasonable prices, those that would work no hardship. It was guided by what the coal men said. just as it was guided by what facts the public produced. It worked rom facts. and not from fiction. If he coal dealers now have figures to snow they cannot do business under he. new prices they must have had he same figures when the local com- n1ttee was holding public hearings on he question. If they had proof posi- i've then that they could not con- .lnue in business under lower prices, why did they not bring forth the papers? The Government does not Intend to force any honest man out of business. The idea of fixing nr,ces was not to close up the coal yards. It was merely a precaution against pro- nteerlng, of which there was an excess.
