ASK COAL DEALERS
ABOUT PRICES HERE
Copyright, 1913.
BY r. l. Goldberg.

Efforts Of the coal merchants as
sociation struck a snag in the House
District Of Columbia Committee today
when w. Hamilton Smith, president
of the Coal Merchants Association Of
the District Of Columbia, appeared be-
fore the committee and sought to
have the committee report legislation
reducing the weight OF a ton Of coal
from 2,24O pounds to 1000 pounds.
Mr.. Smith, who is general manager
of the j. Maury Dove Coal Company,
appeared before the committee to dis
cuss a reduction of weights, but be-
fore he had proceeded in detail the
hearing resolved Itself into an in
vestigation of alleged coal price FIX
ing by the coal merchants board of
trade.
Congressman Ben johnson asked
Mr.. Smith the object of the coal
merchants board Of trade.
He explained that 1t was organized
in 1910 by leading coal dealers for a
discussion Of different phases Of the
coal business.
Don't Fix Prices.
when your coal directors meet, do
they fix prices?" ask Congressman
Wheeler.
NO, sir" Mr.. Smith said emphati-
cally.
"Have all the dealers the same
price?" Mr.. Wheeler queried.
NO, sir" Mr.. Smith replied.
Mr.. Smith objected to discussing
the coal merchants board of trade at
today's hearing, declaring that he
was present only to discuss that sec
ton of the weights and measures
10 Afgiw 20
the weight of a ton of coal. He vol
unteered, however. to return at anoth-
er date and discuss at length the
work OF the coal dealers Organiza-
tion.
The occasion OF Mr. Smiths ap-
pearance before the committee was
the hearing on a bill by Chairman
Mapes to standardize weights and
measures in the District Of Columbia.
Must Stamp Packages.
George NJ. Roberts, sealer Of
weights and measures in the District,
said that one of the most important
provisions Of the bill is to require
persons retailing coal in quantities of
less than fifty pounds to stamp the
weight on the package. He called at
tentiOn to instances where coal is be-
ing sold in small packages at the rate
OF SIS, $50, and S25 a ton.
Mr.. Roberts objected to reducing
the ton OF coal to 1000 pounds on the
ground that il would require several
years for the public to understand the
meaning of such a law.
Mr.. Smith contended that the coal
men would reduce the price in pro-
portion to the reduction in weight.

GATHER IN DISTRICT
Employees In Convention to
Campaign for Increased Con-

The convention OF navy yard work
ers from all parts OF the country, now
in session in this city. held a meet
ing Hast night in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor building as the OPEN
ing Of their drive to secure sufficient
appropriations TO prevent the laying
off OF navy yard employees because OF
lack OF funds.
Members OF the convention state
that the amount provided in the re.
cent naval appropriation bill Is insult
ficient to pay for the necessary re-
pair work on naval vessels, and that
numbers Of the navy yard employees
are being discharged.
In a session held at the National
Hotel yesterday afternoon Il was
stated that more than $4,000 navy
yard workers were to be discharged
during the month OF September. be
cause OF the failure OF Congress 70
make a sufficiently large appropria-
tion for the navy.
At this meeting il was said thai
necessary work on ships in every
yard was tied up.
The meeting last night was ad-
dressed by William A. Mcdonald.

CARSS ASKS DATA
ON LABOR COSTS
Resolution introduced In House
At Request of Federal
Employees.

Congressman William l. Carss Of
Minnesota, member Of the House Com
mittee on Labor, introduced in Con-
gress today, at the request Of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
pIoyes, a resolution which its advo-
Gates believe will effectually dispose
of what they term the vicious fallacy
that labor costs represent the chief
item in the increased cost of living.
Just what does the labor cost
amount to on the principal items in
the cost of living? The answer to
that question" says Mr. Carss. will
pat US in better position to deal ef-
fectively with the problem Of the high
cost of living, because it will help the
people to protect themselves against
the profiteers.
AT present almost anybody's state
ment about the cost of labor can get
by, because the subject has not been
studied. But there's something more
than labor costs behind the fact that
prices always rise before wages rise,
and always rise far higher in proper
tion than wages. We must go after
the real cause, and not Unthinkingly
charge il all up to labor"
The proposed resolution is as fol-
lows:
2
sentatives, that the President Of the
United States be required TO furnish
the House with such information as
may now be in the possession of the
Federal Trade Commission, which will
identify or tend to identify the pro-
portion that labor cost forms in the
total cost OF production of coal, steel,
copper, oil, cement, lumber, paper,
cotton textiles, -four, meat, canned
foods. and other important commodi-
ties as to which it may have such in
formation. and which IL may readily
supply, together with explanation
pertinent to the data furnished"
President Luther c. Steward, of the
National Federation Of Federal En-
ployes, states that in the cost Of pro-
ducing sugar. for example, according
to the Tariff Commission, the cost of
agricultural and factory labor was
42.4 per cent Of the total cost Of pro-
duction in 1918. This is an industry
Of which the labor cost is relatively
high. According to the Department Of
Commerce, Of the cost of making
mems shirts and collars, the workers
receive 25 TO 80 per cent; on mems
factory made clothing the labor cost is
81 per cent 10 4G per cent: on knit
goods, including hosiery and under
wear, the labor cost is % per cent, and
on wOmen'S muslin underwear % to
% per cent.
These last figures are for 1916. but
materials have continued 10 soar in
price. We need more facts Of this
kind brought up TO date. With such
figures and a study OF the income and
excess profit tax returns it should be
easy to locate the profiteers."
