PRICES
Of COAL FIXED.
Retailers Allowed the 1915
Average, Plus 80 Percent
for Increased Expense.

Washington. D. C. Oct. An order
Of fuel administrator H A. Garfield,
made effective today, defining the
profits Of retail coal and coke dealers
throughout the country. is expected to
effect an immediate decrease in prices
now charged the consumer. Gross
margins over production cost are
limited to the average Of 1915 plus a
maximum increase of 80 percent with
a check provision that the average
margin Of July this year not be ex-
ceeded-
Compliance with the order will be
enforced by the fuel administrators in

the mine price of anthracite in the
Pennsylvania districts and grants ap-
peals for increases in the government

Order VIII Be Enforced.
Local committees appointed by the
federal fuel administrators in each
state viii see to It that the dealers
themselves VIII be called upon TO re-
turn sworn cost sheets showing the
facts upon which they have based
their prices.
How Figures Were Based.
IT. Garfield selected 1915 as nor
NAL year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises in
prices did not begin until 1915. The
additional 30 percent is allowed to
cover the increase in the retailers
cost of doing business, which has in
creased substantially during the past
two years. Prices already fixed by
the government for coal at the mouth
Of the mine are near those charged in
1915, and with the jobbers' charge now
limited TO 25 cents a ton and the cost
of transportation not materially in
creased. the consumer in every COM
munity should be able to get coal OF
any description at approximately the
price no paid in 1915.
Increases At The Vine.
