BETTER BITUNINOUS
BICKELHAUPT ANNOUNCES GOV
ERNMENT ORDER TO ELM
MATE IMPURITIES.

Aberdeen, April 16.-Fuel Admin
'strator w. G.. Bickelhaupt an
nounces that great improvement in
the quality of bituminous coal is ex-
pected to result from an order issued
today by the United States fuel ad-
ministration, under which operators
who use special means for eliminat-
ing impurities from their products
will be permitted to add 20 cents a
ton to the government prices for coal
at the mine.
Comparatively few veins of btu
minous coal are wholly free from
slate and carbon. Many of them con.
tain such large percentages of those
and other impurities, that their sep,
~aration from the coal necessitates
the use of mechanical appliances
and the employment of additional
labor The expense incident to this
work materially reduces the profit OF
operating such mines.
The object of the fuel administra-
ton in offering to allow increases to
such operators we're to stimulate pro
6uction and to insure a better quail.
ity of coal to consumers dependent
upon such mines. The offer en-
braces the period from April / to
July 81, 1913, and operators who
desire to take advantage of it a do
so by applying to the legal depart
ment of the administration for per-
mits. These permits will be extend
ed beyond August 1 in all instances
in which 1t appears proper to take
such action. Operators holding per-
mits will be required to make month
ly reports to the fuel administration
and the allowances to each operator
will be based upon the expense
shown to be involved in eliminating
impurities from his product. Retail
dealers will not be permitted to add
to their prices the allowances made
to the operators, unless they also OBJ
tain permits from the fuel admins
tration. Applications for permits
should be addressed to License Blu
reau, United States Fuel Admins
tration, Washington, ID. c.
