KING COAL IS PUT
.0N CARPET TODAY;
U. S. STARTS QUIZ
GOVERNMENT INSTITUTES IN.
VESTiGATION TO ASCERTAIN
COSTS OF OPERATION BEFORE
FIXING PRICES ON FUEL.

Washington, d c., Aug. 29-King
Coal is up on the official carpet today.
Coal prices are under the examination
of DR.. Harry Garfield, who has been
named by President Wilson to fix a
price on coal for the duration of the
war.
The first step in the fixing of the
coal price will be thorough review
OF the results of the investigation
made in the anthracite and 5itumin-
Gus coal industries by the federal
trade commission DR.. Garfield does
not intend to have any long drawn
out investigation, but hopes to have
a retail price fixed on coal. as well
as a wholesale price, within a fort
night at the least.
1t is the opinion of the coal admin
that the coal producers have
been given ample opportunity to
present their case to administration
officials before this time, and there
will be no general conference OF coal
producers called.
The testimony taken in the coal
hearings, held by the secretary of the
interior and the secretary of the navy
will be used largely in determining
the price Of coal.
In instances where state commits
sions have made investigations this
evidence will be used In the case of
Indiana II has been found that state
investigation found the cost of coal
production much lower than that
found by the federal Investigators
Every effort will be made to sift all
the evidence and reach a price, fair
both to the public and producer.
The problem of coal production also
faces the coal administration. 1t is
expected that one of the first steps
taken will be to order all mines open
ed and coal produced. The penalty
for closed mines will be usurpation by
the government under the food bill,
which gives it the power to command
eer
Reports have come of the closing
Of several large mines by the owners
On the pretext that the price paid for
he product is not sufficient to meet
the operating cost These mines will
