COAL CONTROL
Made Complete When Garfield Limits
Profit Of Retaller-Price 10 Pub.
lie To Be Near That Paid
Two Years Ago.

Washington, September 30 - Gov
ernment control over the coal indus
try was made complete tonight by an
order Of Fuel Administrator Garfield
limiting the profits Of retail coal and
coke dealers throughout the country
to a basis which is expected to bring
about an immediate reduction in
prices to the consumers
The order, effective tomorrow, di-
rects that the retailers shall fix their
prices so as to limit their gross mar
gins over cost to the average Of such
gross margins during the year 1915,
plus maximum Of thirty per cent Of
the 1916 margin, provided that in no
case shall the average margin OF, the
month Of July, this year, be exceeded.
Local committees appointed by the
Federal Fuel Administrators in each
state will see to 1t that dealers COM
ply with the order and the dealers
themselves will be called upon to re-
turn sworn costs sheets. showing the
facts upon which they have based
their prices.
Dr. Garfield selected 1915 as a nor
NAL year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises In
prices did not begin until 1916. The
additional thirty per cent is allowed
to cover the increase in the retailers
cost of doing business which has in.
creased substantially during the past
two years. Prices already fixed by
the government for coal at the mouth
of the mine are near those charged
in 1915 and with the jobbers' charge
now limited to rs cents ton ant
the cost Of transportation not mate
rally increased, the consumer il
every community, should be able t.
get coal of any description at approx
mately the price he paid in 1916.
