Washington. June 29-Sweeping
reductions in the price of btu
minous coal at all mines east of
the Mississippi river. ranging from
81 to SIS a ton to the public with
a further cut of 80 cents for the
government, were agreed upon yes
terday at conferences between the
operators and government officials.
The new prices become effective
July 1.
Four hundred operators. who
gathered at call from Secretary
Lane and pledged themselves to
furnish their product at reason
able price, were represented in
the final conferences by committees
from each field. Earlier in the
day they had agreed to place the
price fixing in the hands of the
councils coal production commit
tee, Secretary Lane and Commits
sioner Fort of the Federal Trade
Commission, thus avoiding the pos
sibility of violating the antitrust
laws.
Director Smith of the geological
survey estimated that the reduced
prices would mean that the opera
tors would get 100000 less
annually for their output and that
the saving to the government and
coal consuming public would be
even greater.
In addition to placing prices upon
coal at the mines it was announced
that jobbers, brokers, retailers and
commission men would be permitted
to charge commissions of not more
than 25 cents ton, and that no
more than one commission should
be charged In other words, the
consumer will get his coal at the
mine price plus transportation
charges and 25 cents per ton.
The agreement does not affect
anthracite and for the present no
general changes in the price OF
that product are contemplated, al
though the anthracite operators

Paper From Wood Pulp.

The idea of making paper from wood
originated in Germany in the early
forties with Gottfried Keller, tradition
having it that he in turn received his
inspiration from a wasps' nest. Keller
elaborated with a manufacturer Of
machinery, Heinrich Voelter, in whose
name the patents were executed.
1t was not until 1866 that the pos
sibilities Of this invention In this coun-
try were recognized, when Albrecht
and Rudolf Pagenstecher induced their
cousin, Alberto Pagenstecher, to build
a mill in this country and financed the
purchase Of machinery and the build
ing Of mill
The choice Of location fell to Curtis
vile, now Interlaken, Mass, where the
outlet of Stockbridge bowl seemed to
supply an adequate amount Of power.
The mill was built and on March 5,
1867, the first ground wood pulp was

Madrid is not a city Of great an

into Classical times and even beyond,
but the first authentic mention Of the

and ,:this does not carry one back far

occspied by the Moors when they were
the dominant power Of Spain, but was
