Government Officials Believe Threats
\ Will Reduce Quotations.
BY Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 26.-Forecast OF
a tumble in coal prices was made by
department of Justice officials COIN
cident with the announcement of "re-
hewed activity in the campaign
against coal profiteers. With pro-
duction on the increase, prediction
was made that the coal market would
follow sugar prices in a break in the
near future.
Prices have already dropped at
Baltimore where the federal agents
started yesterday to gather evidence
against an alleged combination OF
dealers who were declared to hav
boosted prices through repeated re-.
sales. A similar attack on profiteers
has been ordered at Hampton Roads,
one of the largest bunking stations
on the eastern seaboard.
Although interior points have re-
ported exorbitant coal prices in
many instances, it was >stated that
the fragrant violations" Of the Lever
law were confined largely to the At.
lantic coast.
The department will press Its In
vestigations at all points, however,
as point Of the program outlined
Monday when the attorney general
instructed all United States -skter-
neys to delve into the coal price
situation on the bases of information
that pyramiding of prices had been
accomplished through intertrades
sales.
The departments hands are tied
at Philadelphia by court order
restraining the United States attor-
ney from prosecuting .profiteers under
the Lever law which was held to be
unconstitutional by the court here.
But the court will not stay the gath
ering Of evidence, according to H. S.
Mitchell, special assistant to the at
torney general, who is directing theyl
campaign.
