W. ]. HARRIS DISCUSSES
COMPLAINTS ABOUT COAL
Gives Reasons for Advice Civ
en- to Consumers of Fuel
Last Summer

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. ls.-Wil-
liam ]. Harris. chairman of the federal
trade commission, who has been i'll for
some days. threatened with pneumonia,
has given an interview in which he an
swers criticisms leveled at him and his
associates on the trade commission for
their advice TO consumers last summer
in reference to the coal situation. The
interview follows:
Last summer when the experts of
the federal trade commission examined
the books of coal operators they found
that the profits they were making at
advanced prices were exorbitant and
out of all reason. being ten to twenty
times the profit they were making in
former years.
Some of the coal operators and deal
ers were trying TO alarm the public so
as TO still further increase the price of
coal In order TO prevent the public
from being panic-stricken and paying
SIS TO $40 a ton for coal / gave a state
ment OF the facts to the public and sug-
gested that they buy only such coal as
necessary and that when congress passed
the bill giving the government control
the prices would be more reasonable
Many of the coal operators and retailers
have acted in the most patriotic way and
have not taken advantage, but have been
tie complaint of dealers trying to take
advantage OF the public in Georgia out
side OF Atlanta.
THE coal miners in the Tennessee dis
trict. realizing the enormous profits the
owners were making. felt they were not
getting their. full shore of the profits and
went on a strike for higher wages.
The mine owners, greedy with their
excess profits and resenting government
interference which was necessary to help
win the war. allowed those striking OPP
orators to remain out nearly sixty days
in the fall when the mining, output
should have been greatest.
Some of the mine owners were glad
of the excuse to decrease the output be-
cause Of their resentfent against the
government which had taken over the
coal situation and stopped their out
rageous profits. Some of the retail
dealers in Atlanta who were prevented
by the government also from making
such high profits and who have done
everything they could to interfere in
carrying out the government plans have
tried to dissatisfy the public by charg-
ing them with the shortage of coal in
Atlanta and have resorted TO every mis-
representation possible to place me and
the government in false position. AS
a member of the trade commission,
have felt II my duty in all Of the inves-
LEGATIONS to protect the public against
such monopolies as the coal barons.
THE trade commission has had moth
ing to do with the handling OF the coal
or in fixing the price except 70 get
through its experts the exact figures
on mining and furnishing them to the
fuel administration"
