Profit - Drop in Anthracite Prices

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-By an ex-
ecutive order President Wilson late
yesterday named DIR. Harry A. Garfield.
president of Williams college, coal adj
ministrator, fixed the prices of anthra-
cite coal at the minc-ranging from
81 to $3.50 a ton, according to the grade
and named the conditions under which
jobbers would be permitted to operate.
The regulation of the retailer was left
in the hands of DR.. Garfield, with au-
thOrity to use drastic power, and with
instructions to exert every effort to
bring relief throughout the country
1t was generally considered here that
the President s action would mean
decided drop in anthracite coal prices
DIR. Garfield, already at the head of
the commission 10 determine a price
for the 1917 wheat crop, accepted the
new commission, and Immediately took
up his work. He told a reporter that
three cardinal principles would be OBJ

conditions which would stimulate pro-
duction.
>. Fair treatment of the iobbers,
with restrictions which would prevent
this branch of the trade taking adj
vantage of the retailer.
3. Fair treatment of the retailer.
with restrictions, if necessary, which
would prevent exorbitant profits.

determined to end, 50 far as lies within
his power, waste and profteering in

The prices fixed by the President for
coal at the mine are Approximately

ago. The President. however, in nam

of Buffalo and 80 cents a ton west of
Buffalo as the fee of the jobber, Topped
off much of the profits these men had
been accustomed to make in many in

president Wilson also ruled that only
