had fair trial. In order to speed up
the war, Uncle Sam hurried hundreds

Attorney General Palmer Orders
 Action Against Prodteers COMPLAINT BY SEN. CAPPER
Declares Producers Are Taking Ad- vantage of Fuel Shortage and In- Hints at Big Trust.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Prosecution of western oil producers for alleged profiteering was ordered today by At torney General Palmer On complaint filed by Senator Capper of Kansas, federal agents were instructed to pro- cced at once against producers who have taken advantage of the fuel shortage in the west to increase the price of their product.
 Embargo on Shipments.
 Simultaneously the railroad admin islrator established an embargo effcc. tive Monday against shipm ents of fuel oil from the west to points east ol Chicago and St. Louis. This action, it was explained was necessary to con- serve the small supply of coal avail able for the territory west of the Mis- sisappi and to compel where possible the use of fuel oil instead.
 Prices Are Raised.
 Oil producers, Senator Capper said, have increased their prices from about S1 a barrel before the strike to nearly $4.55 a barrel. Declaring that scores of industrial plants in the west had converted their fuel equipment for oil consumption since the strike began Senator Capper said the increase in oil prices had placed a burden on them.
 senator CappeT alSO aShSu lHe ue- partment of justice to investigate com plaints that the oil producers had got together" on prices. He said the quotations made by the big concerns were practically on even terms.
 Will Force Down Fees.
 The em bargo was expected to aid in forcing down the prices. While it will not entirely prohibit the shipment of fuel oil eastward, it provides a permit system which will give the regional fuel officials direct Knowledge of pur- poses for which the oil is to be used and will make it unnecessary to haul coal from eastern mines to the dis tricts from which the oil came.
 Oil for export will continue to be moved, subject only to the permit reg ulations The shipment of refined oils in the regular trade channel also will not be disturbed and industrial plants which employed oil as fuel prior to November 1 will be taken care of. Shipments in transit or ordered be- fore Noven Der will be allowed to ga through.

CANNOT BOOST PRICE
 TO GIVE MORE WAGES
Garfield Will Not Permit Operators to Pass Ex-
 pense on to Public.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Not one cent can be added to the price of coal to finance any increases in the wages of miners, Fuel Administrator Garfield declared today after reading press dispatches that Governor Cox, of Ohio, had proposed that miners and operators in that state compromise on the basis of a 25 per cent. advance in pay for the men, pr. Garfield indi- cased that the government would in terpose no objection if the increase could be given without advancing coal prices
 There will be no increase in the present price of coal as fixed under the Lever act.' pr. Garfield said, ,"no matter what local arrangem ents and agreements are put into effect"
 He added that his position was ab soluteIy unchanged from that taken on November 26 with the authoriza- tIon of the cabinet. Dr. Garfield ex pla1ned then, in suggesting the IA per cent advance, which the miners promptly rejected, that he was not fixing wage scales and had no auth ority to do so. He indicated that the increase suggested was merely that which the operators were able to grant without advancing the price of coal which the governme ent has fixed.

Washington Gives Advi:c.

Paris, Dec. 6, (Havas} s}.-Germany will be called upon in a rigorous note which the supreme council of the peace conference vii complete today to yield immediately to the Allied de- n1and that the protocol of the Yer sailles treaty be signed, according to the Excelsior. The newspaper says it has reliable infor1nation that Washington has advised Berlin to adopt a more concilitary attitude.
 If ratification is not completed by December 3l, says the Echo de Paris, certain clauses of the pact will be rendered inlpracticaple, and the Al lies will be obliged to submit to Ger many a new protocol, which will re- suit in still further delay ~r

Pre- rnier Clemenceau presided over the session.
 Says Allies Are Misfnforrncd.
 Baron von Lersner's eoH, nunica- ton which was received by Premier Glenn enceau on Thursday declared the Allies were misinformed regarding their complaint that Germ any was eH- ceeding by far the limit of military \ forces permitted her under the treaty. Von IIersner declared that the Ger man government had never sought to couceal the fact that the creation of 'detectiye police forces and civic guards would be necessary and that the German government was pre- pared to submit proofs to General Nollet, head of the Entente ccn1u1is- .s sion Of control in Berlin that these oreanizations were permissible under the treaty. S-~.- -~. ..,
 Germany. the German delegate added, was ready to discuss the ques- ton immediately with the Allies and believe that such an offer was the pest proof that she was not seeking to avoid carrying out the treaty te rns'
