RAILROADS WILL
PAY MARKET PRICES
No Discrimination in Selling Coal and
Consumers Will Fare Alike in
Distribution.

WASHINGTON, April 16-Railroads
hereafter will purchase their coal at
the full market price and ears will be
evenly distributed at all mines under
an arrangement reached by the rail
road and fuel administration. The
plans wcro accepted after President
Wilson intcrvencd to settle differences
between Fuel Administrator Garfield
and John Skelton Williams, director of
purchases for the railroad administra
ton.
The fuel administration objected to
sales of coal to railroads at prices less
than those charged other consumers
and to the system whereby railroads
gave a 100 per cent ear supply to mines
supplying coal for railroad use, while
other mines suffered from car shortage.
One effect of the arrangement, it is
pointed out, win be that all consumers
will fare alike in coal distribution.
