Daily Reports.
All manufacturers OF ice in the Dis
trIct VIII be compelled TO make daily
reports OF the production and sales
OF ice and the amount OF ice with
drawn daily from storage.
The committee appointed by Ad-
rrfnistrator Wilson will meet In his
office at $50 o'clock every morning
to decide upon the next days plans
Of distribution.
J. Sanders and R. S. Miller. local
ice men, were appointed a COMMITTEES
to investigate the need OF pubic
ice station where scent blocks may
be sold to consumers. This report
will be submitted to the administrator
within a week.
Coincident with the announcement
that he had taken over the ice in
dustry, Mr.. Wilson today prepared
to increase the stores OF Ammonia
here in order 70 be prepared for any
possible emergency. Ample supplies
of ammonia have been held in re-
serve for manufacturers. but steps
have been taken to provide extra
stocks whenever needed
Prepare Details.
The food administrator was busy
all morning mapping out details s"r
the control OF the industry here
which will be put to the committee
OF ice manufacturers for ratification
at the first meeting tomorrow morn
ing.
Whether this action by Admins
traitor Wilson will result in d lower
ing OF ice prices to the public was
a question which went without COM
ment at the FOo- Administration
expressed was that the action would
result in the elimination OF much
overhead cost.
According to food officials, Wash
ington is the first city in the United
States TO have its ice industry taken
over by the Government under the
extraordinary war powers conferred
upon the food and fuel administra-
tiors by Congress.

Dealers Association was sought to-

local ice companies, and on Mr.. VIII

Labor Problem.
The chief problem confronting fee
manufacturers, dealers and officials
OF the Food Administration say. is
that OF labor for the distribution OF
the commodity.
Ice dealers have frankly stated to
Mr.. Wilson that they have been utter
ly unable thus far TO control the prob
lem OF labor. Many teams are idle
daily. which could be used for the
dis,ributiob OF ice. they have explain
ed, and any shortage which has oc-
CURED thus far this summer has been
due to a shortage OF labor. The short
age was acutely felt 10 Washington
Sunday. but dealers declared there
was plenty OF ice in storage. Ine
reason why hundreds Of families went
without ice was because there was
no one to deliver 1t. they told Admin
istrator Wilson.

tions in prices of both anthracite and
bituminous coal after April 1. job
bers' commissions as a price factor are
to be eliminated. and retailers will OBJ
tain coal at the same price. whether
they buy direct from the mines or
through middlemen.
Jobbers now are permitted to add to
the government price at the mine a
commission Of from Is to 20 cents a ton.

of making the jobbers look to the mine
operators for compensation. The mine
price will be increased slightly to pro-
vide for the operators added expense.

will not be equal to the commission
now allowed the jobber.
The amount Of the increase will be
determined later.
