COAL PRICES FIXED;
 FIGURES WITHHELD
Committee Has Adopted Schedule
 for New Britain Dealers
REDUCTION IS FORECAST
Regulations of Federal Administration Forbid Publication Until Rates Arc Approved-Berlin and East Berlin Next on the Program.

New prices for coal at retail in this city have been established by the coal committee appointed by State Coal Administrator Thomas w. Russell, of Hartford. The committee consists of E. w. Christ, A. W. Abbe and w. J. Farley.
 It was stated today by MT. Christ that the prices have been fixed, but oa4not be made public at present be- cause publication would conflict with the regulations of the federal coal ad- ministration, headed by Dr. Harry A. Garf1eld. It Is expected prices will be given to the press within a short time.
 Retail dealers were given hearings all day last Monday by the local com mittee and g. public hearing was held Wednesday night. By that time the committee had practically arrived at decision and the prices were agreed upon.
 While 1t is impossible to state what the cost of coal to the consumers will be. 1t is intimated that the new prices will be less than those that have been charged. It is reported that the com m1ttee has insisted on the adoption of the price schedule it has established and will insist that some of the gov- ernmenta1 regulations be overlooked. Otherwise, it is said, the work of the committee will have been wasted, and the sole object, the reduction in prices, will be defeated-in part, at least.
 Messrs. Christ, Abbe and Farley have been requested by MT. Russell to establish prices in Berlin and East Berlin. As they have all necessary figures for this section of the country, 1t Is believed that their new task will be accomplished with ease. It is not proposed to hold 8 public hearing. but each coal dealer in that district will be interviewed

clared before the main committee of
the reichstag that the workers who
had gone on strike in GERMANY had
been hypnotized and did not know

said that even a strike which only

but added that it was intelliuihlv thst
the workmen should be depressed over
the decreased bread ration. He con-
tinued:
They wanted to demonstrate to the

was a nypnotism OF the masses. The
workmen who struck on Monday hardly
knew why they had done so. on Tues

ana on Wednesday a political change
had come about. We hold proofs that
matter was smuggled in
from abroad.

workmen must have mouthpieces
