RAPID PROGRESS
MADE IN PLAN To
FIX COAL PRICES

WASHINGTON, D. c., August "a
Government control of the coal indus
try has been made almost complete
by President Wilson's appointment Of
Dr. H. A. Garfield, president of Will
liams college, fuel administrator, fix
ed anthracite prices for producers and
jobbers, and set limit on profits to
be made by bituminous wholesalers.
The next and final step will be to
make regulations for coal distribution
and to fix anthracite and bituminous
retail prices. This will be done when
distribution program is perfected.
The anthracite prices fixed, effective
September |, are virtually the same as
those charged at the mines under vol
ntary arrangement made by producers
with the Trade Commission. The prices
that may be charged by jobbers, how
ever, will reduce present costs sharply.
Bituminous iobbers profits, too, will be
cut by the new price scale set for
wholesale transactions.
Bituminous profits for jobbers are
fixed at Is cents ton of 1000 pounds,
ard the same restrictions that govern
dealings by a number of anthracite job
. bers apply to bituminous transactions.
The presidents order forbids railroad
owned mines from selling to other
mines and prohibits dealers from sell
ing coal produced by railroad owned
mines on basis of prices fixed for
other mines
The bituminous jobbers prices be-
come effective Immediately.
The coal administration will be or
, ganized as soon as Dr. Garfield ha;
! completed his work of recommending
to the food administration govern
ment price for the 1917 wheat crop.
