FACT AND FICTION PRICES
FOR HARD COAL DEALERS

Last Monday, the Journal printed an exclusive in
tervew with the acting county fuel administrator in
which it stated that he had received word from State
Fuel Administrator Barnes suggesting that the local fuel
dealers charging too much for the hard coal in Mar
tinsburg.
On the following day. after the dealers had held a
meeting with Mr. Letter. the Journal published an article
given them by Mr. Letter in which it was stated that,
while the local dealers considered that the margin of pro-
fit allowed them too small they would nevertheless,
abide by the decision of the State Fuel Administrator
Then on Wednesday, the Journal published an article
stating that the price had been fixed at s123S ton in
letter that had been received from Mr.. Barnes. This
letter authorized the local dealers to charge the price
charged by the Hagerstown dealers and it repre-
sented him that those dealers received S1238 ton
The full facts as given the Journal by the coal dealers
who had taken the matter up with Mr. Barnes were CIV
en- to the public by the Journal.
In the mean time after the first article referred to
above had appeared in the Journal, the Martinsburg
World whose had evidently been reached by someone
with an grind proceeded in it's feeble way to criti
else the Journal for publishing authentic interview
The World then attempted further to back up it's with
certain figures which it had been given by local dealers
but which not at all correct insofar as the price OF
coal is concerned.
If the coal dealers of Martnsburg authorized to
charge the prices the Hagersown Dealers they
should not make the mistake of charging $238 ton be-
cause that the price charged by Hagerstown dealers
and is not fair price.
Here are the facts so that the public may know and
incidentally that the World can correct the errors
has published in the joy of thinking that had caught the
Journal mapping:
Red Ash Lykens Valley coal egg size, sells in Ha-
gerstown for $025 for ton of 1000 pounds. That is
the price that Hagerstown people pay for ton of 1000
pounds.
Egg size corresponds with stove in price.
Red Ash stove coal in Hagerstown sells for $1O.25.
These figures are authentic and if the Martinsburg
dealers are authorized to sell at the price as Ha
gerstown those are the prices they should charge
Hagerstown has two prices for all Sizes because Of
slightly different price at the mines from different com
panies,
It is unfortunate that this controversy should occur
but when the World undertakes justify unauthorized
prices and quote figures which not truthful the jour
nal cannot fairly let the matter go without properly in

CANADIAN BRETHREN
TO Get THEIR COAL
In Same Proportion As Their
Allies In United States.
(By international News service)

Washington, Nov. 23.-President
Wilson has directed that Canada be
supplied with coal from American
mines in the same proportion to its
needs as the United States.
Arthur S. Learoyd, director of an
thracite distribution for the fuel adj
ministration, made this statement be-
fore the Senate's manufacturers COM
mittee who Investigated a reported
coal shortage in the east today.
DO you mean to say that the peo-
pie of the United States are to be
made to suffer SO that Canada may
nave coal?' Senator Reed, the chai.-
man asked.
Not at all, only that they shall be
treated on the same basis as the var
lops sections of the United States
Learoyd responded.
