CHICAGO, Ill.,, Dec. 24.-(P)-The public was con- sderaby surprised this morning when several fuel panes in this city announced increase in the price of coa effective immediately The raise varies from thirty to thirty five cents per ton
 This action is taken by the companies in the face of the order recently issued by the the effect that the retail price of the fuel would not be affected by the increased wages allowed the mners Notwithstanding this government order the increased price on coal which has been and will be mined since the strike was settled.
 The operators contend that the order regulating the price of fuel does not pertain to this particular increase not retroactive and the price raised only on that tonnage contracted for before the strike The ators admit that the raise is caused by the increased wages of the miners but state that the public at large will not suffer as only the big contractors of coal will be forced to pay It is generally conceded however, that this action of the fuel companies raises question which may less trouble coming as it is obvious in the face of the governments order.
