FIXING COAL PRICES

The first big step toward govern
ment control of coal was taken by
President Wilson when he fixed prices
for fuel at the mine mouth and deter
mined the profit the jobber will se-
cure. Despite the fact that the price
set for anthracite coal at the mine
mouth is almost Identical with that
now being asked, the. action will have
a far-feaching effect on the ultimate
cost to the consumer. While it is
too early to predict the final outcome,
the action Of the government in nam
ing a price for coal will also have
material effect on the cost of other
necessaries which have scared al
most beyond reach within the past
few years.
I Immediate lowering of coal prices,
however, cannot be expected. The
president has completed The lesser
task-that of fixing the price at the
Mrs mouth and the profit to the job
Der. The more diflicnlt task Of set
ting retail price will be left to the
new proposed coal corporation, head.

the president to be coal ladministrstor.
The liking of retail prices presents
one OF the most difficult problems

success, in a large measure, there.

and willingness to sacrifice OF the ma
Jority of the retailers.
The result of the governments ef-
forts in the case of coal will no doubt
nave an important bearing on the

NEUTRALS GET FOOD

Negotiations between American Of
ilclals anG representatives of the gov
ernments of neutral European coun-
tries have resulted in an arranpement
under which the latter nations will
be supplied with foodstuffs from the
United States. The food commission
which handled Americas case in the
discussions, has reached an under.
standing (which will bring relief to
6elgiuFh and those neutrals who are
entitled to American products. The
agreement practically makes impos-
sible the reshipment of those prod
ucts to our enemy, Germany.
Norway, which country has felt
the pinch sharply for some time due
to the measures adopted by this ma
ton and the entente allies to prevent
food produced within their borders
from reaching Germany, comes for
ward with an offer of 900. 900 tons
of shipping If America will give her
the food she requires. A million tons
OF shipping in these days of unre-
strlcted submarine warfare means n
great deal to the entente just at this
time and will relieve greatly the
shortage of ships which has hamper.
ed the war work of this nation for
some TIME.
Norway's action also indicates the
reach had it not been for the fact
that the entente allies and the United
States had shown willingness to
treat literally with the neutral ma
tions in regard to their requirements
when the allied nations themselves
could use every pound of foodstuffs
produced here. 1t proves also, that
the power of Germany is diminishing
for, with Germany able to threaten
these smaller nations it is doubtful
whether they would have risked the
possibility of an open break with her
on this question.
The shipment of food into German
territory through neutral nations has
always been q source of much con-
Germ to the allies, but under the pres
ent system it is doubtful whether the
enemies Of this country can secure
any amount Of supplies in this man
ner. Tie fact, too, that the neutrals
depend in a large degree upon Ameri-
Ecan pfgsfata3t$ for their own existence
renders the Task easier.

COMING AND GOING

There are some things about the
liking of prices on foods and other
commodities which the common peo
pie do not understand, which are
understood only by those who have
III their power the ability TO iix the
prices The Sioux City Tribune very
appropriately says:
When wheat was selling at !S3 a
bushel the miller used the wheat
price as pretext for raising prices
on flour. although they were then
operating on wheat bought several
months previously at 81 % q bushel.
They raised the claim that selling
prices must be based upon replace.
ment costs.
Now wheat has dropped one third
from the price of So a bushel, but
flour continues high The millers
explain that present milling is from
the $S wheat and that the lower prices
now existing on wheat cannot be
considered.
"The miilers seem to hava o private
business logic that has wonderfully
close relation to excess profits. In
normal years, before the war, the big
milling concerns regularly made their
wheat contracts on the lower sched
ules of each year, but used the per-
lods OF high priced wheat for estab-
fishing fancy prices on flour.
"As important factors in wheat
speculation they knew just when they
wanted wheat prices to go down and
when shey wanted them to go up.
Manipulation of food necessities
is great game when played by those
who thoroughly know the ropes"
What is true of wheat and flour
prices is true of other commodity
prices. AS prices go up in the mar
kets for the raw material-the wheat
or hogs or cattle on foot--tbe prices
of the finished products -four and
meats-foiow immediately, even al
most BEFORE the prices on the raw
materials have settled. But the same
rule is not applied when tie prices
OF the raw materials are going down.
Ihe only reason is that the big deal
ers are reaping double profits simply
because they have it in their power
to do so.
