ANOTHER INCREASE
in PEA COAL PRICE
Burden Of Consumer to Grow as
Result of Regulation at
Washington

The cost of pea coal will be increased
ninety cents a ton as a result of President
Wilson's order fixing maximum anthra-
cite prices 1t was generally believed that
the Presidents intervention in the coal con-
troversy would result in a decrease in
price. 1t has been discovered this will be
its effect except in the case of pea coal.
Retail dealers are selling pea coal at S6.S0
a ton shot in from the wagon, and $7.05 a
ton when carried in. With the advance of
ninety cents in the wholesale price this will
naturally mean a boost in the retail price.
Even at the S7.05 figure very few retailers
in Philadelphia have any pea coal whatever.

They Work Only With Cane
Products

Philadelphia sugar refiners would not
comment today on the National Food Ad-

j. s. EXPENSES FOR YEAR
FIXED AT $l9,OOO,OOO,OOO
Chairman Kitchen Estimates Actual War Cost at $40,
100000, 600 Gives Rev enue Plans-AnL Loans to
Entente to Be Met BY Bond Issues

There was no indication, however, of
opposition to the general terms OF the
bill, and both Democratic and Repub-
lican committeeman are expected to
support it once it reaches the floor.
Leading fananciers of the country
may be asked to come to Washington
to discuss before the committee the
present financial situation, and what
the future holds In store. Members of
the committee who met yesterday to
take up the Bond and Certificate bill
adjourned early because Of the alb
sence Of Secretary McAdoo, but con-
siderable sentiment developed against
rushing a bill to the House without
expert advice.
/ Chairman Kitchin, while not oppos-
ing the idea of hearing he financial
views Of New York bankers, advised
the committee against public hearings
He Is of the opinion that frank and
open discussion of the possibilities of
selling billions of dollars worth more
of bonds may inJure the sale in adj.
vance, and that some pessimistic note
as to the country's credit in the flu
ture may be sounded.
Reports that the war savings GER
| tlhcates, intended primarily as q poor
| mans investment, would be issued in
denominations as low as 81 and be
laced on sale at all post offices aroused
interest. Details of disposing of these
certificates would be left by the bill
to Secretary McAdoo, save that single
sales to one person would be limited
| to 500, and total sales to an indi.
| vidual 81 ,000 The amount of interest
to be borne by these certificates, as
well as by the war certificates, also
would be left to the secretary Both
| would be liable under the bill to the
same taxes as the bonds. !,
| Approximately s11, 900, 900, 900 OF
the foregoing amounts are included ir
the Bond and Certificate bill, which
| the, Ways and Means Committee yes,
terday began to consider. The bill
would authorize $1,000. 900, 900 for al.
lied loans, $s,ooo,oo0,ooo to be used
| in refunding 8 IL per cent. bonds al.
ready authorized, s$2,000,000, 900 ir
I war certificates, and $2,000,000,00 il
war savings certificates. It also con-
tains a authorization provision fol
50, 100000 in war certificates and
would provide for taking over certain
other previously authorized bonds.
I No attempt will be made, Mr.
Kitchin believes. to add the newly
suggested $4,000, 100000 issue to the
bill now before the committee. L
will come in as a separate measure
| if at all.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Secretary Nc
Adioo appeared before the house COM
mittee on ways and means today to
discuss the forthcoming administra-
ton 81, 53S, 945, 400 bond and certificate
bill and to explain the expected re.
quest of the treasury for an addt-
tional 1000, 900, 600 bond issue to be
authorized by congress.
Washington, Aug. 2S-The House
Democratic leader, Mr.. Kitchin, said
last night that estimates submitted to
him by the Treasury Department
made it appear that the additional au-
thorization probably would be neces-
sary. Secretary McAdoo will be ask
ed to explain the situation when he
appears before the Ways and Means
Committee tomorrow to discuss the
forthcoming Administration $11.-
53S,945, 460 Bond and Certificate bill
Present Indications, according to
Mr.. Kitchin. are that $4,000, 900, 200
will meet the expenses of the fiscal
year, but it is thought best to have a
$4,000, 100000 margin for emergency

about $4,000, 100000. This estimate
covers about $1,000, 100000 for loans
to the Allies, $1,000. 100000 of which
already has been provided: $780,
000, 900 for current expenses, exclus.
i've of war, leaving about $4,000, 000.-
600 for war expenses. Included ir
the war estimate is $176,000,000 fol
the new insurance bill and $1,000
600, 900 for the Shipping Board"
The $21, 900. 100000 would be rails
ed as follows: Bonds for allied loans

So, O00, O00. 600; war certificates, 81,

900 900.
A brief meeting of the COMMITTEES
yesterday to consider the bill made il
obvious that hopes Of leaders to pass
the measure on Wednesday could not
be realized. An insistent demand for
free discussion in committee and on
the floor created doubt If the bill
could be passed before the end of this
week at the earliest
Several members indicated yester-
day that they would oppose Secretary
McAdoo's plan of taxing the bonds
after he appears before the commit
tee today to explain the measure
