Report Of Food Committee
Recommending Price Is
Due Next Week.

Washington, Aug. "a. The price
paid by the Food Administration fer
the portion it buys Of the 1917 wheat
crop probably VIII exceed 81 a bushel
III was learned The committee,
headed by DR.. n. A. Garfield, which
will recommend a price, viii submit
its report carly next week,
In recommending price the com
mittee, it was said, will take into
consideration the fact that the pro-
ducer must receive enough to stimu-
late production next year, and at the
same time will consider carefully war
conditions and the rights of the con-
sumner. In passing the Food Control
Bill Congress set an arbitrary price
of 50 on the 1918 wheat crop.
The hope of the Food Administra-
ton is that the Government price
fixed will obtain in all private trans
actions throughout the year, and it is
ready to buy up the entire crop for
distribution if prices cannot be stabi-
lied by the mere fixing of a Food
Administration price.

H. A. Garfield Named as Fuel
Administrator Anthra-
cite Prices Fixed.
SOFT COAL HERE IS CTS
Retailers Profits and Orders
Governing Distribution to
Be Announced.

Government control Of the coal in
dustry was made almost complete
Thursday when President Wilson
named H. A. Garfield, president of
Williams College, fuel administrator,
fixed anthracite prices for producers
and iobbers, and set a price of Is cts
per ton of 1000 pounds, wherever
delivered, on profits to be made by
bituminous wholesalers.
The next and final step will be to
make regulations for coal distribution
and to fix anthracite and bituminous
retail prices. This will be done when
a distribution plan is perfected and
when the federal trade commission
has completed a plan under which
retail profits may be fixed.
The anthracite prices fixed, effect
i've September l, are virtually the
same as those now charged at the
mines, under a voluntary arrange
ment made by producers with the
trade commission. The prices that
may be charged by iobbers, however,
viii reduce present costs sharply.
Bituminous iobbers profits, too, will
be cut by the new price scale set fol-
wholesale transactions.
DR.. Garfield announces that he will
institute licensing system for al
coal dealings from the mine to the
retailer, and that if prices were fixed
for retailers the licensing would be
extended to cover retail charges.
The prices. on the Hopkinsville
market as recently raised are not
likely to be reduced, The mine run
price is $l.95, with 25 cents more for
screened or prepared grades. To
these prices must be added 60 TO Is
cents railroad charges and the Job,
bers rate of l5percent will permit toe
mines to make an additional indirect
profit. To these prices must be
added the retailers profits not vel
fixed. The fixed prices are already
$3.50, or if iobbers figure in the deal
1918, which is 12b cents a busheI,
with no profit for the dealer. The
present local retail prices are from 19
to Is cents. The fuel bills schedule
actually benefits the Western Ken
lucky dealers and legalizes their
prices, extortionate as compared with
prices that have prevailed for years
until this year.
