THEY ARE AMAZED
AT LETTER RECEIVED
Palmer Replies to Suggestion OF
Trade Association Against
Fixing Maximum Price

Washington, Nov 2.-Suggestions
from the Wholesale Coal Trade :l:so-
citation cf New York that the govern
ment should not fix maximum price
for coal or interfere with the normal
course cf supply and demand during
the strike brought from Attorney
General Palmer today vigorous asser-
ton that he would take the same ac-
tion against persons enhancing prices
as was taken against The union Of
icers
1.-The action 0. the government was
taken solely in the general public in
terest. AIr. Palmer declared. "and
shall not permit it to be used directly
or indirectly for the benefit of tie
employers side Of the controversy.
". a. Marshall. president OF the
association. wrote Mr.. Palmer recon-
mendiag that miners who want to
work be given protection and that
coal consumers be allowed to obtain
fuel through the usual normal chan
nels He asserted that with adc-
uqate protection enough coal would
be produced to meet the emergency,
that fixing maximum price would.
curtail The operators ability to meet
abnormal production costs caused by
the strike. and discourage their 9t-
forts to continue work, that priority
lists would overstock certain cor
sumers and allow others to go with
out. and that the fuel control act
could be used to prevent attempts al
pro1iteering.
y am in receipt Of your Iett"H
and am amazed BY its contents ne
attorney general replied.
WHILE of course. proper prota:-
ton will be given to all miners who
are willing to continue at work. il
must be perfectly plain to you tat
even under such conditions the sup
ply of coal must he far from normal.
Such proposition amounts IN effect TO
declaration that coal dealers should
be permitted to take advantage OF
these abnormal conditions and nave
their prices based entirely upon the
law Of supply and demand. which IS
ONLY. another way of saying that thcy
should be permitted to charge tie

mand for fuel will be constantly III
creasing and witt. the supply decraas-
ing. unless there is government resG-
!ation, prices charged to the public
will be outrageous and profits accrl-
ing to dealers unconsc:onable. You
ought to be willing to cooperate in
the pubic welfare in this emergency
even to the extent OF sacrificing pro-
fits.
THE action of the government IN
restraining the officers of the mine
workers union from furtherins ne
strike order already issued was taken
solely in the general public interest
and shall not permit it to be used
directly or indirectly for the benefit
of the employers side Of the con-
troversy. If any advantage shall be
taken of present conditions by an.
arrangement or agreement Of two or
more persons to restrict either pro-
duction or distribution in order to
enhance the price of fuel. shall with
out hesitation take precisely the same
action against such persons as has
been ta,,en against the officers OF tie
