Washington, August 10,-Charges that
bituminous coal dealers are exacting ex-

the so-calied Peabody agreement were
made today before the federal trade COM

behalf of various public utilities and a
national municipal organization. The

prices.
The entire Peabody agreement, entered
into by the operators and Chairman Pea
body of the defense councils coal COM
mittee, was declared by Mr.. Thorne to be
unfair to the consumer Coat now being
sold under it at from $1.75 to $3.50 a ton,
he said, can be produced at slightly less
than 81 a ton. AS the best means of deaf
ing with the situation, he urged immedi-
ate abandonment of price fixing negotia-
tions with coal operators and the estab-
lishment under the food control bill Of a
reasonable maximum price. Statistics he
filed with the commission purported to
show the following average producing
costs: Indiana, year ending April /, 1917,
$1.16; Maryland, Kentucky, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia for same period, S120.
and Illinois from $1.O5 TO SLY between
1905 and 1915.
Operators, Mr.. Thorne declared, are
refusing to make contracts direct with
consumers and compelling them to con-
tract with friendly jobbers, that they
may share in the extra Is cents a ton
