Gus phases of the idea.
To Save Labor

ed to cut out all unnecessary hauIs

a grade of coal they desire. Orders
VIII De turned over to a central Office

ana the order will be placed in the
hands of the dealer who is hest
situated and best supplied with coal
to handle the order.
AS a further precaution against tho
desire to hoard, which is liable to he

past winter, Mr.. Hickok announced
this morning that the coal will he

coal supplied city consumers durino
the present winter. BY means of the
coal cards used by consumers This
winter and the personal knowledge
oI the dealers, the records at the
Central ONCE after April last will

have been received, MIR. Hickolk said

same basis as the Harrsburgers con-
sumers Will be treated by local deal
ers. Mine operators, Mr.. Hickok
said, will supply city dealers as much
as they were sold the present win
ter.
Mr.. Hickok said this morning that
MS committee is at work on the
task of fixing one fiat coal rate for
next year. The dealers will be al
lowed to fix a price for their coal
next year the same as at present,
namely, by adding thirty per cent.
to the cost of the coal on hand, plus
freight charges, plus the operating
expenses of like period in 1915.
They will not, however. be allowed
to charge price exceeding the price
they charged for coal in August 1917.
II is by averaging these computa-
uons, Mr.. Hickok said, that his COM
mittee hopes to fix a fiat coal rate in
this city by the time consumers be-
gin to lay in their supply of coal for

Mr.. Hickok said, to have the ma

this city.
