The coal situation is the all-absorb-
ing topic of discussion here these
days. The Fuel Administrator has
decreed price for Ignite based 1--WE
believe) upon production costs at the
Wilton mine where practically all the
mining is done by machinery. Oper-
ators in this district are unable to
meet this price and as natural conse-
quence the operators at their meeting
at Minot Tuesday decided that they
would turn their mines over to the
government as thty could not afford
to mine coal at a loss. Who is to-
blame, we are unable to state definite
ly but we believe that our old friend
Carroll, who recently visited Wash

scale recently established by the Fuel
Administrator.
