INTO GOAL PRICESACAIN
1. o,es, Move Expected to Bring Re .,,.ed Prices to ConSlsmers-A- ,ows Arkansas Miners More
 Calls for AfIidasits.

Washington, Oct i.-An order of
 ruel Administrator Il. A. Garfield
 made effective today, defining prof.
 its of retail coal and coke dealers tbuoug the country is expected to oseef an immediate decrease in the
 or;ces now charged the consumer.
 Gross margins, over production eosts are limited to the average of 1915. plus maximum increase of an per cent, with 8 check provision that the average margin of July this year not be exceeded. Compliance with the order will be enforced by the fuel adminisiFator in the several states.
 Call for AfIidavits. Local committees appointed by the federal fuel administrators in each state will see to it that the dealers comply with the order and the dealers themselves will be called upon to return sworn cost sheets, showing the facts upon which they have based their prices.
 Dr. Garfield selected 1915 as nor maj year because the coal shortage which resulted in continued rises in prices did not begin until 1916. The additional 30 per cent is allowed to cover the increase in the retailers cost of doing business. Prices all ready fixed by the government for coal al the mouth of the mine are near those charged in 1915, and with the iObbers charge now limited to 25 cents a ton and the cost of trans portation not materially increased, the consumer in every community should be able to get coal of any de- scription at approximately the price he paid in 1915.
 Tn other orders the fuel admins trator made the first revisions of his recently fixed prices of coal at the mine.
 One order reVises upward the mine prices in certain bituminOus districts in which unusual condi- tions exist, making the cost produc- tfon greater than in the principal bituminous fields. The new prices for run of mine coal in some of those districts include: Lafayette, Ray, Clay, Platte and Linn counties, Missouri, S3.i5; Appanoose, Wayne, Boone and Webster counties, Iowa, S3.i5; thick vein seam at Hartford. Midland, Haekett, Greenwood and Denning, Arkansas, $305; LeFlore and Haskell counties. Oklahoma, S350: Okmulgee and Tulsa counties, Oklahoma, $3i0; Cole county, Okla homa, s3.30; Pittsburg and Lattimer counties. Oklahoma, $3.50.
 The increases allowed are to meet figures presented by mine owners. in many cases, showing that the price previously fixed would not al low margin of profit above the cost of production. An additional 20 to 2 cents ton has been all lowed in most cases, iI.slc5ing the Alabama field, where mine owners protested that the government price would drive them out of business.
 The orders also provide that smithing and camel coal may be sold at the prevailing prices until further notice.
