Coal $1.05 Higher
Mined After Nov. /,
Fuel Board Rules
Advance Necessary Because
of Increased Wages,
Says Garfield
Operators Plea Denied
Sixty Per Cent of Winter Sup
ply Already Taken Out,
Is Estimate
tspeciol Dispotch to The Troune)

Especial Dispatch TO The Tvibune)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-An advance
of $1o5 ton for anthracite coal was
announced to-day by the Fuel Admins
tration. The new prices became cffec-
tive November /.
The fuel administration estimates
that 60 per cent of the winters an
thracite supplies have been mined al
ready, and this coal, under DR.. Gar
fields order of to-day, will be sold at
prices fixed before the advance.
The new schedules include only
actual additional cost of recent
stabilization of anthracite wages, which
We're found by the conference Of ma
tional labor adjusting agencies to be
considerably below the standard of
wages paid in tho bitumnous industry
and in corresponding industries. Us
gent appeals by operators for further
increases to meet losses, now said to
be incurred in various mining opera
tions, were disallowed, and the indus
try WAS advised that such deficiencies
would have to be met without recourse
to the public.
The actual increased cost of ton,
because of labor, was found by en-
giseers of the fuel administration to be
"a cents. This information was devel-
oped by taking the average, number of
men employed over q period of six
months at each different kind Of labor,
in each mine. and developing therefrom
the total increase in labor cost.
This. divided by the annual output Of
approximately S1,Oo0ooO tons, gave the
increased cost ton. Dividing this in
turn by the percentages of output over
which the advance was spread gave
$1O5, the increase applied per ton.
Existing prices on sizes where no
change was made are: Buckwheat,
$340-S4.15; rice, $500; barley, $2.65;
screenings, $1.50.
Possibility that in some instances
dealers. through misunderstanding
might undertake 10 impose Immediate
advances in prices was taken cogni-
zance of by the fuel administration.
Consumers in doubt as to proper bill
ing for coal were asked to refer their
bills to local fuel administrators for
investigation and adjustment.

attention.
Mr.. Eirsch promised to take steps to

Instructor Tells of Luci.
ana's Work Before Start

Joseph P. McCann, an instructor Of
at Mayor Hylan's inquiry into the
Brighton lire wreck that Edward A.
Luciano, or Lewis, motorman of the
wrecked train, had received only two
hours instruction as motorman before
starting on the fatal trip.
Several employees testified that nor
mally twenty-one days was the period
of Instruction for motormen. McCann
said that he had been ordered by Su-
perintendent Blewitt and Wilbur
Lewis, supervisor of instruction, to
cut short the period. Leo B. Webster.
train dispatcher, testified that there
was no way of telling who were certi-
hed motormen, and that it was custom
ary TO turn trains over without oues-
ton to men in motormen's tors who
reported for work.
According to the testimony of Ben
Jamin NJ. Brody, the trainmaster at
the Kings Highway yard. who ac
copied Luciano as motorman, Super
intendent Blewitt had directed him to
DO so, referring to Luciano as "qual-
ltied motorman."
The charge of homicide made against
Luclana and Joseph Rosso. a guard on
the train, was dismissed in the Flat

Coal Survey Here
Hylan Refuses to Call OFF
Police, Despite Protest

New York's Police Department yes
terday began its inspection of homes

Under orders issued by Chief Inspec-
tor John F. DAILY, the police started out
early in the day to secure the informa-
tion which the local fuel officials here
have said is not necessary to the proper
distribution Of the coal. They filled
ont cards which contained the names and
addresses of persons whose premises
they surveyed and the amount of coal
revealed. In cases of q surplus, entry
was made on white card, while short
ages were recorded on yellow cards.
While this was going on, Delos w.
Cooke, State Fuel Administrator, was
speeding toward Washington, ostensi-
Ily for the weekly conference, but one
1t was Mr.. Cookies complaint to Ad-
mnistrator Garfield which caused the
latter to ask Mayor Hylan, in no un-
certain terms, to call off the fuel in
ventory.
Mayor Hylan evidently failed to com
ply with Mr.. Garfeld's request, for The
Police Commissioners office and In
spector Daly reported they had no.
been asked to rescind the order for the
survey.
"Any action abandoning or postpon
ing the survey must be ordered by the
Mayor" said Inspector Daily yesterday
