GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES
Fuel Administrator Announces Final Decision, Which Wili Be Bind
 Ing on All Dealers.

Washington. - Fuel Administrator Garfield announced regulations, effec- tive at once, for the limitation of the retail prices of bituminous and an thraelte coal throughout the country.
 The fuel administration has fixed, in the conclusions arrived at not the specific prile which the retail dealer will be allowed to charge the con Sumer, but the gross margin which the retail dealer will be allowed to add to the average wholesale cost of his coal in making retail prices.
 The retail dealer will be allowed to sell coal to the consumer at price representing an advance of not more than 30 per cent over the retail gross margin of 1915. In no case. however, is the gross margin from now ou to exceed the gross margin of July, 1917,
 If, for example, retail coal dealer bought particular kind of coal in 1915 at an average of $2 ton and sold il to the consumer at $3 ton, his gross margin was $1. Dr. Garfield now allows him to add 30 per cent 10 this amount. making his gross margin for 1917 $1.30, provided that Is not in excess of his gross margin In July last.
 If the retail dealer now pays an ay. craze of S3 for the same kind of coal he will he allowed to sell it to the con- sumer for not more than S4.S0 ton.
 Doctor Garfield selected 1915 as normal coal production year
