too hard.
They point to the coal price agree
ment as the proper way to arrive at
buying arrangements, particularly be-
cause through this plan the general
public as well as the government en-
joys the low prices obtained.
Other officials believe the govern
ment should bring every pressure to
bear to obtain the lowest possible
prices and some. it is said. are for COM
Wandering supplies.
No government agency now has the
power 10 fix prices, either for the gov
eminent or for the general public. The
federal trade commission which is in
vestigating production and manufac-
ture or basic material make the posi-
ton that any prices agreed upon be-
tween the government and producers
or fixed under the power to comman-
deer. should go to the general public
as well.
If the government goes into the mar
ket for large purchases at low prices
it is pointed out the private consumer
will be forced to pay even higher
prices thar: he now pays because pro-
ducers under no sort of restraint win
raise prices to him to make up for the
loss in selling to the government. Some
members of the commission are for
legislation to meet this difficulty.
In making the arrangement with the
coal men, the interior department
pointed out that it would mean, if it
stood for year n saving of nearly
00,0oo.000 to the consuming industries
and the public. The situation now ex-
listing will probably serve to hasten
the arrangements Of the defense coun-
Gil which contemplates establishment
of purchasing office for government
supplies.
One thing that has delayed this re-
organization is said is the difference
of opinion as to how far the govern
ment should go in its efforts to reduce
prices to consumers generally.
Those in authority who have not ap-
proved the action Of Secretary Lane
are understood to feel that the onlv
way such a price fixing plan can work
equitably for the government is first
to have the cost of production ascer-
tanned by some capable agent of the
federal trade commission.
An Interior department statement
tonight announced that a new record
for coal production was set for the
first six months of this year. fully
21oooo,0oo tons Of bituminous coal be-
ing produced since Jan. !, thus exceed
ing the output Of the first six months
of last year by about 10000 900 tons.
Even better news" the statement
adds, lis that the limit has not vet
been reached, for. as the railroads are
able to work to better advantage. the
problem of car supply. and giving the
mines greater facilities Of transporta-
ton of the production, the supply Of
coal that reaches the consumer will be
in steadily increasing quantities."
