WASHINGTON, oct. 2--Contined
CONFUSION in the coal industry is
predicted here as the effect OF Dr
Harry A. Garfelds proht-hxing rul-
ing issued on Sunday and the outlook.
according to observers experienced
in the business, is one Of continued
soaring retail prices during the
period OF the year when the house
holder lays in his supply for the Win
ter.
The fuel administration, trying to
bring order out Of chaos, announced
last night plans for a meeting We'd
nesday OF the State administrators so
far appointed, when methods for
definitely fixing the amounts retailers
will be permitted to add to the cost
OF coal in order to determine the
price to the consumer in various
localities and when the uniform cost
sheets prepared by the Federal Trade
Commission will be inspected. Ways
Of investigating complaints viii be
devised"
IN regard to the anthracite situa-
ton, Doctor Garfield stated en-
phatically that no ruling whatever
had been made in any way altering
the Presidents proclamation regard-
ing jobbers commissions.
The most important OF the three
orders issued by the fuel addinistra-
for on Sunday was that stipulatng
that retailers may sell coal up to ana
including 30 per cent in excess of
The margin Of profit they enjoyed in
1915.
Coal men, including operators, rep

erance Of the project to connect

that fresh water may be obtained
for irrigation purposes.

backs up to the Vermilion Bayou

crops, but in STIMULATING prdouc-
ton. This can be done only by
an additional supply of water
from the Atchafalaya, and the
plan outlined by DR.. Liable, IS
not only the most feasible, but the
cheapest and serve the dual pur-

is SO replete with resultant bene-
