gone far the commissioners called IN
Secretary Bracken and experts who
have handled the cost accounting work.
Together they explained TO the Presi-
dent details Of reports on coal, steel,
copper and other basic materials, and
outlined the work accomplished in get
ting production costs on a number of
materials in which Investigations have
not been completed.
Watches Fereral Trade Board
For several days the President has
given his attention almost entirely to
the work the Federal Trade Com
mission is doing. officials with whom
he has consulted are of the opinion
that a definite price policy will be-
formulated in the very near future.
Coal probably will be finally disposed of
first and steel next.
The Trade Commissions steel inves-
tigation revealed that it will be almost
impossible to fix a price for steel, as
was done in the case of coal. Varying
costs in different plants make it i'm
practicable, IL is said, to make fat
price, and, too, costs are continually
changing. The plan most favored by
the Trade Commission members is ore
under which the government would de-
termine the cost Of producing definite
orders, and would pay fair percentage
of profit on each order.
The chief disadvantage Of this sug-
gestion is that il provides no plan
for protecting the general public in
its purchase<; and protection of the
public, the President has emphasized,
is one Of the chief aims of the Ad-
ministration in enforcing a reduction
in prices. The Administration, how
ever, is understood to be standing be-
hind the Pomerene bill, pending in Con-
gress, which would give the govern
ment virtually the same powers in fix
ing prices on steel and other materials
as it now has in the case of coal.
Anthracite To Be Taken Up
To extend the governments control
over coal the President yet has TO fix
bituminous wholesale and retail prices
and must issue regulations governing
distribution and apportionment as be-
tween different parts Of the country.
Anthracite, too, it is understood, will
be taken up, and prices fixed through
out the industry. At present snthrs-
cite prices at the mines are kept down
under q voluntary arrangement reached
some months ago by the producers
with the Federal Trade Commission,
but no way has been adopted for deal
ing with wholesalers and retailers.
Extension of coal control will bring
with it, it is understood, the appoint
ment Of a coal administrator, whose
relation 10 the coal industry will be
about the same as that Of Herbert
Hoover to the production and distribu.
ton of foods. So far the name Of
H. A. Garfield, president OF Williams
College, is the only one that has been
mentioned for the place.
President Wilson, it was said to-
night is greatly pleased with the pro-
gress made by the Trade Commission
in its Investigations and hopes to set
tie the price question soon.

Wilson Coal Decree
Pleases Naval Men

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-.The Navy
Department felt fully vindicated to-
day in refusing to pay the price fixed
by the coal committee of the Council
OF National Defence for its coal by
the announcement Of the Presidents
act in fixing a rate of little more
than So for run of mine coal. The
committees recommendation was sos
at the mine, which would have meant
s4.35 delivered at Hampton Roads.
Last year the navy consumed 1,000,-
900 tons Of coal, paying for 1t S2.S5
delivered at Hampton Roads. 1t is ex-
pected that, under the Presidents de-
cree, the navy will pay more this year,
but not S1.50 per ton more as proposed
by the coal committee.
When the dispute with the coal
operators crystallized, Secretary DAN
iels announced that the Navy Depart
ment would pay $3.50 per ton, holding
that sum would not only pay the cost
Of production but yield the operators
a fair profit. The price of 1888 was
decided upon after an investigation OF
the cost Of production at the mines by
the Federal Trade Commission.
The coal committees recommends
ton also provided for additional costs
- the navy, involving an increased
price TO be governed by raises in wages
and by higher freight rates. The navy
this year will consume tremendously
more coal than ever before.
In some quarters It was estimated
that the navy would consume 100000
tons of coal year during the war
owing to constant active duty and the
increased number Of ships constantly
in every kind of war duty.

Coal Operators Plan
To Fight Price Scale
Fixed by President
rspedA Co-respondsnco1

WARRINGTON, Aug. 22.-The coal
operators Of the country met in the
Office of the Coal Production Commit
tee to-day and called a meeting Of all
bituminous operators in the United
States to discuss the abnormal condi-
tions they are asked to labor under by
virtue Of the Presidents pricefixing
decree of yesterday.
The operators meeting is set for
Pittsburgh next Wednesday. 1t was
ordered by the National Association Of
Coal Operators, which perfected an or
ganization this morning, with H. N.
Taylor. of Kansas City, as chairman.
While the operators were diplomatic
in the language of their call, they gave
utterance to private protests against
some of the tentative prices for various
coal producing districts fixed by the
President. The West Virginia opera
tors were particularly exercised. E. V.
knight, one of the operators who at
tended to-day's meeting, said:
"The price scale for West Virginia
mines is too low; something has got
to be done or the operators cannot
survive"

 Some grades of hosiery have ad- Nanced from five to ten cents per pair Collars that formerly were two for quarter are now fifteen cents straight.

Probably these are higher in price too, but being very much of the order of lined articles, t is only the trained expert who can detect that an advance over former prices is being asked for the same grade of quality.

Doctor Tells Hcw To Strengthen
 Eyesight 60 per cent Ln One 2
 Weeks Time ir, Many Lnstances

and expense of ever getting glasses Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to any. active drug store and get bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of q glass of water and allow to dissolve. With this liquid bathe the eye two to four times daily. You should notice y.our eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you,-even little, take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.
 Note: Another prominent Physician to whom the above article was submitted, said: Bon Opto is n very remarkable remedy. Its constituent ingredients arc well known to eminent eye spec ialsts and widely prescribed by them. The man ufncturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 90 per cent in one weeks time in many instances or re fund the money.
