PRICE FIXING
PROVES FAILURE.
ASSERTS LODGE
Coal Production Curtailed
Through U. S. Action, Says
Massachusetts Senator
BY Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 27.-Goyern-
ment price-fiXing as method of pre-
venting profiteering has proved a
failure Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
setts, declared to-day in giving the
senate the conclusions he had drawn
from the recent Investigations of the
coal and sugar shortages. In the
case OF coal. Senator Lodge said.
price-hxing had only served to cur
tail production while the food ad-
ministration's price plan for sugar
had kept western beet sugar from
the eastern states and in the mean
time retailers of coal and sugar had
profiteered.
Price-Fixing Policy Wrong
ITO prevent profiteering by a few"
the senator explained, "the funda-
mental error of the administration
was that a policy for all of fixing
prices-declared a failure in both
Germany and France-was adopted.
instead of one of stimulating and
increasing production"
Blame for the coal shortage SEN
ator Lodge laid to the fuel adninis-
tration's price-fixing plan together
with railroad difficulties and the
closing order he had described as
complete confession of impotence
and failure" He denounced the fuel
administration as an UNNECESSARY
agency which was composed large
ly of amateurs"
Created Chaos
"The result of the fuel admins
tration's policy" he said, was to
