were related TO each other in 1915. II
also expects that every coal dealer
will do this conscientiously and ac-
curately. But It is also prepared TO
go the limit to make its expectations
realities.
At present the situation Is admit
tedly complicated and it will not be
clear at all until the elaborate or
ganization planned by the fuel ad
ministration is in working order.
When this will be Is not predicted.
But Doctor Garfield is naming the
State administrators as rapidly as
he can find the kind OF men he wants
for the place.
Whether or not the prohtflxing
order is going TO result in material
decrease in the price Of coal 20 the
consumer right away is another
question that is apparently unan-
sewenble just now in Washington.
The coal dealer himself seems to be
the nan who can best answer II. He
knows what he cleared in 1915 on a
ton OF coal. His clerk can add 30
per cent TO the amount and by add
ing the total TO the cost per ton OF
the coal he now possesses the present
price he may charge a ton Of coal
results.
There will be examinations OF the
business Of virtually every coal dealer
I'm the country, If the plans of the
fuel administration are followed.
While IL is not to be expected that
the Federal Trade Commission AGENTS
will make all Of these inquiries,
they will neverthelesa be made For
that will he one OF the functions OF
the examinations under the State fuel
administration.
As was announced by Doctor Car
field several weeks AGO the present
/ arrangements ara tentative and made
only with a view OF bringing the
price Of coal to the consumer down
TO the lowest possible figure In ad-
vance Of the complete orrnn'zation
OF the fuel administration. II NAV

fixed in soft coal i'm some districts
made no profit at all in 1915, and
adjustments will be made according
to the finding OF facts Likewise
where It is seen thnt the profit is
too high twill be brought down All
this will be done upcn the recon-
mendation Of the State fuel admins

Dr. Garield's policy with regard to
COMPLAINTS one way or the other
is best expressed in the phrase
Take your troubles to the state
administrator. He will settle them
Persqns with charges OF too high
prices or dealers with complaints OF
TOO little profits will not he henrd in

Garfield WARNS NOT
TOATTENPT GOUGINC
Will Prosecute Violations of
Price-Fixing Ruling, Says
Administrator
SAYS YARDS MAY
BE CONFISCATED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Retaii coal
dealers are to be held responsible be-
for the law for their strict adherence
to the Droht-fixing order issued two
days ago by Dr. Harry A. Garfield,
the Federal fuel administrator. Any
dealer who now, or hereafter until
the Federal Trade Commission and
the various State fuel administrators
finally arrive at definite margin Of
profit, sells coal at prices netting him
more than 30 per cent in excess Of
his profit per ton in 1915. is to be
prosecuted, not once, but for eacn
time he so violates the term Of the
order.
This was made emphatic here last
night by Doctor Garfield, who was
asked 10 explain some OF the COM
plications which have arisen in the
public mind as the result Of the or
der. According to Doctor Garfield,
every coal dealer knows or can very
quickly learn the amount Of his
margin of profit in 1915. 1t simply
means that he shall ascertain how
much he paid for coal and how much
he sold t for, with the questions Of
transportation and handling charges
figured in with the cost. He shall
add 10 the difference 80 per cent. and
that is what his legal profit is now.
Coal dealers who are now exceeding
this profit are breaking the law and
Will be apprehended when auditors
and exam ners from the Federal
Trade Commission walk into their
shops and investigate their books.
This will be done at once.
When it is discovered that a dealer
has sold coal at a profit in excess
OF that fixed, he will be prosecuted
for each time he so sold the coal. This
will be done until the State fuel or
ganizations have licensed every deal
er. After that violators Of the fuel
control regulations will have their
yards confiscated by the Government
and their licenses revoked-in other
words, by law driven out Of the busi-
ness.
The Government expects every coal
dealer to have the ability to subtract
cost from selling price as the two

the decisions OF his state representa-
tives with regard to price disputes.
Generally, II is believed that Dcc-
tor Garfeld's order fixing profits Is
going to result in no immediate great
reelection in retail coal prices. There
may be sight reduction, but no one
thinks it is going TO exceed twenty
five cents anywhere The order viii
have the one good effect OF stabiliz-
ing prices during this period OF
scarce supply. when, free OF the re-
stncnt of a. Government order, un-
scrupulous dealers might be expect
ed to lay on huge profits. The sup
ply question is becoming more seri-
ous every day and drastic action TO
divert coal cars from all uses save
the carrying Of coal is the next step
the Government is expected to take.

Coal Operators Gather
at Washington to Take
Up Question of Prices

Washington, August q. Coal
operators from many parts of
the country came to Washington
today to take up with govern
ment officiPls the prices just fixed
for their product. Cost figures
prepared by the operators will be
presented to the federal trade
comission on whose cost of pro-
duction statistics President Will
son based his prices for coal.
Officials admit that the prices
set will drive many operators out
of business, but say that while
individuals will suffer, the public
generally will benefit. Both bum
ker and export coal, 1t was stated
today, are to be included in the
new scale of prices. Bona fde
contracts for this coal, however,
as for domestic coal, will not be
disturbed. Frank S. Peabody,
chairman OF the coal committee
of the council of national defence.
declared today that operators
generally felt the government
prices were fair and that any in
equalities would be corrected.
The services of the coal commit.
rec, he said, would be put at the
disposal or Mr.. Garfield.
The labor situation continues tC
give officials some concern. Miners
throughout the country are ask
ing wage increases which in mos
instances, it is said, will be re
fused now that the price of Goa
has been reduced. The govern
ment, some officials believe, ma.
have to intercede even to the ex
tent of working out with al
interests concerned a genera
wage scale.
