There has been running fire of
dicusslon, criticism and argument
about the local coal situation for a
number OF months, with very little
result until today. Coal has been
secured by a dozen different parties
for this county but for some unknown
reason, the coal, that is to say, hard
coal has failed to materlalize.
Several days ago the Journal pub
lished an article which was based up
ON statements given the paper which
were to the effect that the coal deal
ers may have been charging more for
the Hard coal than they ought TO iiave
charged.
The dealers then held meeting
at which they discussed the matter
and decided to make another effort
to have the situation cleared up. I'm
til then the dealers were as much at
sea as was the public as to what
price tHc government WdHtcu thSm "
charge.
As result OF the meeting, Messrs.
II. N. Stewart and S. B. Dorm got in
with State Fuel Ad.
Barnes and notified him
that the local dealers wanted to do
the right thing in every way but that
they were unable to figure out just
what the right thing was, from the
governments view point. To-day they
received letter from Mr. Barnes in
reply to the communication and the
letter should be the final chapter in
the long drawn out controversy and
misunderstanding.

London, Nov 2O.-A great sensa-

COAL PRICE FIXED
AT $l2.38 IN TONS

The letter states that authority is
given for establishing price in Mar
tinsburg for hard coal which Is to be
the same price as charged In Ha-
gerstown, where the freight rates are
town dealers also sell half ton lots
established is $12.3S a ton for stove
town dealers also sell half ton OTIS
at $644 and quarter tons at 1898. 1t
will be noted that the price in small
err quantities is considerably more
than the price by the full ton.
The reason, Mr.. Barnes stated, that
the price was establsshed In this
method was because there Is no local
fnel committee or administrator in
Berkeley county. That there rs not
is matter that MIR. Barnes does not
explain.
Figures OF local dealers show con-
clusively that the price so establish
ed gives them smaller percentage
Of Profit than they had before the
government price fixing plan went
into effect.
while to many, this price will
seem to be enormous, 1t must be re-
membered that the local dealers have
nothing to do with the cost at the
mines which WIS again increased by
$105 during November Ii there IL
blame for these conditions, it should
be placed with the government au
thorities that have permitted the coal
operators to gouge the public. The
blame should in no way attach to the
local dealers.

The idea of the 'meatless day" is
not new. We have records of meat
less days in England proclaimed over
500 years ago. and they were pro
claimed for the same reason that is
causing us to observe them today, on
account of a great need which devel-
oped out of unusual circumstances.
Il was a librarian who was speaking
and he held in his hand book of rec
ords Of the proclamations of the privy
council of London issued while
Shakespeare was still alive. Then as
now the librarian explained. there
was a shortage in the food supply.
But then the shortage was local, and
extended only TO the neighbOrhood
supplying London with meat cattle.
And today the problem is a world
problem and is of such Importance
that we can safely say that the his
tory of civilization depends upon our
solution of it.
