 little investigation which might mol only throw an altogether different
 light on the coal situation but wouio
 also nlace the high moguls of the | coal industry in a rather embarrasS- | ing position. Apparently they olo not know that the government had taken cognizance of the mounting cost of fuel and had been conducting
 opiet investigation with view to de-
 ter1nining just who was responsioie for high coal prices. Hence It was doubtless a great surprice to them when the secretary of the interior de- monderl that they either reduce the
 ,,ice of coal themselves or the gov o,nment would do It for them.
 And the promptness with whieh they observed his injunction indicates t,ot tbev had no desire to have the look 10 closely into the ,,or,,i,ps of the fuel association. IL yos also strongly suggestive that the ,rod,lcers were dealing lightly with he truth when they attempted to loce the burden of blame for high nel costs on the shippers and trans oitation companies.
