The ttIantiC Refining Company
Starts Suit.
WILL &c A TEST CASE
Seeks $2,1e3,252 For Material ReGui-
sitioned For War Purposes at Pre-
vailno Prices.

Philadelphia, March 2l.-Three suitS,
involving 50 193,252S4, were begul!
here 10 test whether the United States
mus. DAY war prices for materials re-
QUESTIONED for war purposes
The action was begun in the federal
court by The Atlantic Refining COM
pany 10 collect this sum which repre-
sents the difference between the mar
ket price of petroleum products at the
time of seizure and the fair COM
penSation" fixed by President Wilson.
This will be used as Il test case
under the act of congress giving the
president authority to requisition sup
plies necessary for the maintenance of
the army and navy in war and to fix
the prices for these materials. If the
COMPENSATION is unsatisfactory, the
person entitled to receive it can ac-
.cept 10 per cent of the amount and
sue the government for the balance.
Under requisition orders from the
government. the refining company sup
piled war vessels and other crafts
with fuel Oil, engine oil, and gaso-
line, and attempted to charge the then
prevailing market prices
The government refused to make
payment on this basis. holding out that
the prices fixed by the president in
sured sufficient compensation to the
company The navy department in re-
jecting the company's bill on the high
war period market values, also in
yoked the contention that the war had
created a greater demand for fuel oil,
and this had resulted in abnormallv
high market prices.
The refining company admits that
the pritAs of petroleum products were
very high during the war period. but.
it contends. wages. and the prices OF
crude petroleum. manufactured sup
plies needed in the production Of De
troleum products also rose.
The only difference between the
government and the company is the
price that should he paid for petro-
Ieum products furnished for war
uses
Other suits by other parties based
on the refusal OF the government to
pay the war neriod high market prices
are expected hit the decision in the
Atlantic Refining Suit will probably
be a precedent for future actions.
The most important of the three
suits is one for - 40. 424.12 for fuel
furnished the navy forces between
August II, 1917. and November 8,
1918. The prices for the fuel supplied
in this period. the company declares,
were not furnished TO it until January
% last. although Secretary Daniels
made numerous promises, one in writ
ing on June 81. 1918. to forward the
price list.
The -priees.-the company contends,
are wholly inadequate and unsatisfac-
tory, because they are far below the
market value of the fuel supplied
during the period of the suit. A Sec
ond suit for balance of S8996.04 for
fuel oil supplied on July so and the
third is for S4S22 IS. Il balance for
supplies furnished in July and Aug
'lst 1917.
TIE government paid for the fuel
n the presidents prices. but the re-
fining company declares that the
amounts are not sr.licient.

COAL
HERE TO LAST
FOR | MONTH
By BILL PRICE.

Washington today appeared to be
better prepared for a prolonged
strike of coal miners than had been
supposed.
Supplies of bituminous coal are
considerable, and, with the vigorous
steps that are being taken by the
Government, the stock on hand may
be sufficiently replenished through
proper Government distribution to
prevent threatened dangers.
Check Up Supply.
Having made provision for the coun-
try at large, that transportation and
industry may not stop. and individuals
may not suffer. the Administration
turned its attention today to ascer-
tanning its supplies of coal for use in
Government departments and bureaus
in Washington. Secretary Lane
called for a report as to coal on hand
in the huge Government coal yards
located in the southeast section of
the city.
When the difficulties OF the war
loomed UP, Congress provided for the
operation Of giant Government coal
yards here, from which all Govern
ment departments and establishments,
including the District government,
schools, engine houses, police stations.
etc. might be furnished with coal
bought directly by the Government.
Before that was done, the Govern
ment bought it's coal haphazardly,
each department or bureau asking for
bids from coal dealers. Contracts
were let to the lowest bidders.
Largest Yards In World.
The Government coal yards in
Washington are the largest of their
kind in the world. They must supply
the fuel and heat for Government
buildings in which close to 1856
workers are busy each day: also for

President Wilson today issued an
