UTAH AND IDAHO MINES
-W.S.S.-

The coal mines Of Utah and Wyom-
ing, upon which Idaho very largely
depends for its fuel supply. at the pre-
sent time are finding difficulty in mar
keting their entire product If this
continues very long it will be necessar
to reduce their working force The rail-
road companies will use the cars at
present available for coal shipments for
other purposes. and when the demand
for coal shipments increase, it will be
doubtful if the equipment can be Sc
cured.
It is for this reason that Fuel Ad-
ministrator Gooding sends out the car
TO the people Of Idaho that as an act
IF wisdom, and also as a patriotic duty
that all who are able should store
your coal now. Get in your orders be-
fore May 1. if possible. and little
doubt exists but that the present low
price VIII prevail at least until such
orders are satisfied"

DUTY OF STORAGE
OF FUEL SUPPLY


The United States Fuel Administra-
ton has recently been calling attention
to the patriotic duty of an early sto--
age of the domestic coal and other fuel
supply. A careful investigation has
disclosed that unless the domestic sup
ply of the United States is very large
ly in the customers and dealers hands
by the first Of September that a ser
ious condition will surely arise. much
more dangerous even than that which
confronted the United States during
the last fall and winter.
Just at the present time it is pointed
out the coal mines everywhere can
secure a fair supply of labor. and are
thus enabled to mine and ship a large
surplus over normal season require
ments. 1t is appreciated that little
later in the year even with the mines
working to full efficiency they cannot
produce the normal and abnormal de-
mands of the fall and winter seasons.
All the extra coal mined and marketed
at the present time is only that much
to the good.

STORE COAL NOW

| Gooding, April 1S.--The coal storas-
season is on, and it is evident from
present indication that those who wish
to secure their coal at the present 'ow
price must get in their orders before
the first of May. Fuel Administrator
Gooding is still endeavoring to have the
storage season extended by the Utan
and Wyoming operators till the first OF
July. at least but it is seemingly ap-
parent that the coal operators have no
| desire to carry out an understanding
between themselves and the State Fuel
Administrator first entered into in jan
uary and renewed last week. The un-
derstanding was to the effect that the
coal operators would maintain a low
price for coal throughout the storage
season and closing not earlier than
July /.
Mr.. Gooding is now informed by the
operators it is their present intention
to advance the prices of prepared sized
coal from $3.50 for lump and ss.O5 for
mt to sS.75 a ton. the permissible
price on May l. He is still endeavor-
ing to complete arrangements by
which the lower price viii be maintain
ed until the first Of July, and if possible
for still another month.

RETAIL DEALERS REDUCE
GROSS MARGIN
--W.S.S-
In contrast with the action of the
coal operators is the voluntary action
of the retail coal dealers throughout
the state They have offered to reduce
the gross margin allowed them 25 cent
a ton on all coal sold and delivered
from the car This is only in cases
where the gross margin allowed is IN
excess of 50.
If the efforts of the fuel administra-
tor succeed and the present low price !
of coal can be maintained until July 1
or later, this will give the domestic !
an advantage of at least 10 (
cents a ton on all coal purchased dur
ing the storage season. However, con-
srmers must remember that the length .
Of the storage season is uncertain. and
should govern themselves accordingly.
