Explained Advertisement.
j. Maury Dove. jr., explained that,
the advertisement was prepared by his
father and himself. intending that it
should be submitted to the committee
for approval before it's publication. Ill
ness of Mr.. Smith, the firms manager
and member of the committee, had
operated to prevent this submission
and the advertisement was allowed to
appear without such action.
The signature. he said. should have
been changed to the -. Maury Dove
Company" instead. of the 'Centraliza
ton Committee of Ten" but. through
an oversight. this was not done.
When Administrator Weaver and
Commissioner Brownlow were notified
of the reputation they came to the
meeting and the Capitalization plan
was then considered.
Mr.. Weaver suggested a few minor
changes. After they had been accept
ed by the committee and incorporated
in the plan. he gave it formal approval.
Following the meeting Mr.. Weaver
issued the following statement:
Il believe the coal men are sincere in
their purpose to cooperate with the
fuel administration, and if they are
sincere the plan as worked out should
be successful. There are many difficult
and perplexing problems that must be
worked out in detail. l shall give the
merchants committee my hearty sup
port and cooperation.
Il appeal to every citizen of the Dis
trict of Columbia to do the same We
must all bear in mind that we are at
war, and the fuel supply cannot be
maintained on the peace basis. In this
problem, as in all others, we must be
guided by a spirit of cooperation and
of sacrifice for the common good"
J. Maury Dove said today that he had
nothing to add to the explanation made
last night by his son regarding the ad-
vertisement which the dealers repu-
dated, except that it had been deter
mined to publish the advertisement
over the signature of the j. Maury
Dove Company had it failed of approval
by the committee of ten. Failure to
have the signature changed, he said,
was an error which he very much re-

DEALERS REPUDIATE ATTACK
ON COAL ADMINISTER ALTON
Advertisement Signed "Centralization COM
mittee' Arouses Mr.. Weaver, Who
Demands It Be Retracted

Washington coal dealers last night
repudiated an advertisement printed in
a local paper purporting to have come
from their committee and attacking the
coal administration. The reputation
was made at meeting at which the
agreement with Administrator Weaver
was reached. This meeting ended har-
moniously. but it didn't start peace
fully, and for time there was pros
pect of the negotiations between the
coal dealers and Mr.. Weaver being
ended abruptly.
The trouble arose over the advertise
ment which was signed "CentraliZa-
/ ton Committee of Ten of the Coal
Dealers of the District of Columbia.
J After preliminary statement intended
/ to show that dealers were not to blame
| for the situation in Washington, the
advertisement paid it's respects to the
| fuel administration. 1t insisted that the
whole trouble lay in the fact that the
administration had failed to get coal
here. despite statements to the con-
trary.
Phrases of Advertisement.
Some phrases used in the advertise
ment were:
stop blaming the only men who are
doing everything to relieve the situa-
ton" GIVE us actual coal-not sup
positions coal"
"Verbiage and written orders fill no
coal wagons; they do fill the minds of
citizens with righteous, but misdirected
wrath
"The new Capitalization plan repre-
sents the sum total of constructive
achievement by the local federal fuel
administration toward relieving the
city's coal famine"
Fuel Administrator Weaver demanded
that the dealers repudiate the adver-
tisement' before he would give consld-
Grafton to the committees centraliza-
ton plan.
All members of the committee of ten
signed a reputation of the advertise
ment except w. Hamilton Smith. man
ager of the J. Maury Dove Company
II learn" he said, that ]. Maury
Dove caused the advertisement to be
inserted, and 1 owe loyalty to my en-
ployer before I owe it to the fuel ad-
ministrator." Mr.. Smith offered his
resignation as chairman OF the meeting
but it was not acted upon.
