PAYS S76 PER
 TON FOR COAL

The vital importance of increasing the worlds coal supply and the danger of speculation in fuel throughout our country is shown in the following item from Paris concerning fuel difficult ties:
 PARIS, July 10. - A housewife in Paris cannot buy a 50-pound sack of coal at any price, but large consum- CTS have been obtaining it in lots of from two to ten tons at $75 a ton. This situation was disclosed in the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the economic situation. It is at tributed to facilities afforded for speculation by the licenses through which the government hoped to regu- late the traffic.
 The licenses acquired at once trad ing value that was put to profit by people who hal never had anything to do with the coal trade. Dressmakers, lawyers, society men, commission mer- chants of all kinds, dealt in these li- censes, each one taking as big profit as he could get in passing it to the next buyer.
 Maurice Violette, Minister of Provi- sions, cited a typical case. The price of coal originally bought at $36 ton went to SIG a ton by passing through the hands of six intermediates, none of whom had anything to do with the coal business before this license was issued.
 M. Brunei, Deputy from Paris, cited a consumer who was able to buy ten tons of coal, a five years supply, while tenants of the same building could not obtain enough to cook a meal and were obliged to use gas. "These facts have so impressed the public" said M. Brunei, "that people of very moderate ideas have declared to the authorities that if the situation continues it means revolution"
 The Minister of Provisions has de- cided to issue no licenses to importers who were not regular dealers before the war, and proposes a law punishing speculation in coal by fines and im- priSonment.
