The governor believes the word "ad-

that the counsel OF the league will

of necessity imply that force would be
used by the league in preventing ag-

relations would in many instances be
sufficient to bring any recalcitrant ma

commercial embargo which the league
covenant provides shall be placed up

was asked.
Retailers in normal times can buy
coal either under contract or in the
open market Just at present and for
q long time 1t has been impossible for
dealers to buy under contract. The
result is they must go into the open
market. where we have to pay from
$3.50 to $500 per ton including freight
and war tax which amounts to $2.I3
per ton. or an average cost of $40 to
the dealer. Under the circumstances
