COAL TRADE WANT
no PRICE FIXED

Attorney General Sharply Rebukcs
Head of Association for His Suggcs-
ton. Public Interest will be Pro.
tcctcd.
Washington, Nov. 2.-Suggcstion
from the Wholesale Coal Trade asso-
citation OF New York that the govern
ment should not fix maximum price
for coal or interfere with the normal
course OF supply and demand during
the strike brought from Attorney Cen
eral Palmer today vigorous assertion
that he would take the same action
against persons enhancing prices as
was taken against the union officers
"Thc action of the government was
taken solely in the general public in
tcrcst" Mr.. Palmer declared, "and
Shall not permit it to be used directly
or indirectly for the benefit Of the
employers side Of the controversy"
w. A. Marshall. president Of the
association, wrote Mr.. Palmer recon-
mcnding that miners who want TO
work be givon protection and that
coal consumers be allowed to obtain
fuel through the usual, normal chan
ncls. Hc asserted that with adequate
protection enough coal would be pro-
duccd to meet the emergency, that
fixing a maximum price would curtail
the operators ability to meet norma!
production costs caused by the strike
and discourage their efforts to con
| tinuc work, that priority lists would
ovcrstOck certain consumers and al
low others to go without, and that
the fuel control act could be used to
prevent attempts at prolitccring.
Il am in receipt Of your letter and
am amazed by its contents" the at
torncy general replied
While, OF course, proper protec-
ton will be given to all miners who
are willing to continue at work. il
must be perfectly plain to you that
even under such conditions the suppl,
or coal must be far from normal
Your proposition amounts, in fact, tc
q declaration that coal dealers ShOul(
be permitted to take advantage o.
these abnormal conditions and have
their prices based entirely upon The
law OF supply and demand, which is
only another way OF saying that inc!
should be permitted TO charge what
ever they please. The demand fo>
fuel will be constantly increasing Will
the supply decreasing, unless there i:
government regulation, prices charged
TO the public will be outrageous ant
the profits accruing to other citizen!
TO cooperate in the general public
welfare in this emergency, even to tn,

of refreshing innovations in the ar

admitted. The reasons. whyfor,
are given, and the following is an
extract from the report:
1t is true that government oper-
alton of public utilities was measur-
ably successful in Germ any But
the very reasons which. under the
German system and being given the
mentality and traditions of the Ger

why under our form Of government,
and with the spirit and traditions of

bound to prove failure and a
grave social and economic detri

Raises Rates

At the convention of Modern
Woodmen of America in Chicago
last week. the rates were raised 65
per cent. the raise being necessary
to save the order from bankruptcy
The recommendation Of the head
camp calling for fiat increase of
SO per cent was amended to include
rate of 60 per cent for new men,
bers above SO years of age
1t was said the increases will add
1,675.0O0 month to the order.
In October 1918, the M. W. A
had a general fund of ten million
dollars but the order was so hard
hit by influenza and pneumonia
that this fund has dwindled to $640,-
600.
BY special assessment for war
purposes fund of six million dol.
lars was. raised out of which all was
claims were met and there remain
three million of this fund.
A. r. Talbot, head consul, describ-
ed the situation as critical and stated
that the raise in rates was neces.
sary.
"A society which has done as
much good as this one has a right
to live," continued Mr.. Talbot.

years and has paid out 200 million
dollars to families of poor men.

FINANCE AND
MARKETS

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The raore
ominous developments in the coal
money and further crumbling of inter-
national exchange caused another re-
action of prices on the stock market
today.
From various industrial and railway
centers came further advices telling
of the paralyzing effects of the fuel
restrictions, these in a number of in
stances resulting in complete suspen-
sion of business.
The IL per cent money rate came in
final dealings, folliwng an opening
quotation of per cent. In banking
circles the furry was regarded as a
temporary affair.
Rails reflected support at intervals,
but eased with the general list later,
their moderate reaction being accom-
panied by the publication of several
