COAL PRICES ARE CUT
SLASH OF $3.50 AT MINES MADE
AFTER DEMAND BY U. S.
Bigger Concession Due in New Seized
ule Effective When Committee
Fixes Permanent Price.

Washington, June 0-An imme-
diate general reduction of 81 TO $1.50
a ton In the price OF coal at the mine
WINS agreed upon here on Thursday by
representatives of the coal operators.
The reduction relates to bitumlnous
coal. #..
This reduction is expected TO be fol-
lowed by still further decreases in
price after investigation into the costs
of mining coul, and it is probable that
the government will be given II still
lower price than that to the general
public.
The operators agreed to the imme-
date reduction at a meeting here
after adopting Il resolution by which
coal prices would be fixed with the mid
and approval of the secretary of the
interior, the federal trade commission
and the committee on coal production
OF the national defense council.
About 600,000,O00 tons Of coat were
mined in this country last year, and
Secretary Lane, who has earnestly
urged Il reduction, believes that the
saving to the American people will be
enormous.
The resolution declared that a great
national emergency exists In the ma
tons fuel supply and that the coal OPP
orators and miners desire to closely
cooperate with the government.
AS soon as this resolution was
agreed to another one wns presented,
under which 1t was proposed MAT the
government authorize the government
representatives named in the resolu
ton TO issue statement forthwith
fixing tentative price which, in their
judgment, shall be fair and reason
able one for the various districts until
the committee shall fl permanent
price. #

ing that the character of the show
