KENYON TO SEEK
INQUIRY OF MEAT
PRICE AGREEMENT

Washington, D. c., May 14.-Sen-
ator Kenyon of Iowa said today
that he will propose a congression-
al investigation of the decision by
the war department to dispose of
100000, 900 pounds of surplus army
meats in cooperation with the Chi
cago packers so as to avoid lower
ing the price of meat on the Amer
lean market.
In conference with the packers
the war department agreed to en-
deavor first to sell the surplus can
ned meats abroad and, failing in
that, to place the food on the Amer
lean market under the supervision
Of the packers as to distribution.
The packers frankly asserted they
desired to avoid a slump in prices.
Those people who can afford to
eat meat at ALL" said Senator Ken
yon, would like to eat more. and
folks who have been Compelled to
forego that article of diet by high
prices would like to taste meat
once more. Congress certainly
should inquire which the war de-
partment is aiding, the packers in
holding prices up instead of aiding
the American consumer to bring
prices down.

COAL MINES ON
SHORTER SCALE
Operators In Illinois Repart Mark
ed Slump I'm Demand-WOrk-
ers Employed Half Time.

Coal mines in the state of I1li-
nois have been entirely released
from the strain of meeting war
time demands for fuel.
With factories, railroads and
private consumers having supplies
of coal stored for last winters use
at the recommendation OF the now
defunct United States fuel admin
Istration. and the winter just pass
ed the mildest in the last SO years,
there now is little demand for coal
as compared to that OF the last
four years.
That was the statement of the
coal market situation by officials
of coal mining companies. With
the signing of the armistice, they
say, the big demand for coal and
the need for fuel conservation i'm
mediately fell away.
Mines of the district are work
ing only from one-third to one
half time, and in a few cases only
one day a week This summer is
expected by the coal operators to
be similar to the normal summer
Of the period before the world war
so far as the demand for coal is
concerned. Many coal mining COM
,panies owning two or three mines
at the present time are said to be
operating only one mine.
The coal business of last sum
mer was three times as great in
volume as the business of the win
ter, according to the coal men, and
at the present time there is COM
paratively very little demand for
coal.
Some of the coal operators ex-
pect the demand for their products
to become more brisk in the next
few weeks than it is right now
The war time necessity for storing
coal in the summer~Sor the coming
winters needs, they say, has laugh:
many a householder that there is
a better way to. take care of his
coal needs than to wait until the
rush season for fuel begins.
The fuel administration went oui
of existence in February. Fol-
some time before that date, the
coal men say, the demand for coal
had dropped far below that of wal
times which had made the fuel ad-
miristration a national necessity.
All the news all the time-Tte

Action of the public utilities
commission in Springfield today
continues present prices for gas
for another six months.
The temporary rates were estab-
lished by the utilities commission
starting May l, 1913, and provide a
net charge of 81 per 1000 cubic
feet. This schedule was ordered
for one year ending on April 80,
1919. The Peoples Power company
then petitiOned the commission to
continue the present rates, the ac-
tfon today being to that end
Prior to July 1, 1916, there was
a net charge of 81 per 1000 cubic
feet On July l, 1916, the rate was
reduced to IS cents per 1000 cubic
feet, the reduction being made by
the Illinois public utilities commits
sion following action taken by the
municipal commission in present
ing the matter to the state board.
The reduced rate was maintained
until May l, 1918, when the power
company was successful in obtain
ing temporary rate increase,
showing increased expense in OBJ
tanning material and labor needed
to produce gas.
Cost of electric light service has
not been Increased during the
emergency.
