ATTORNEY GENERAL GOES
AFTER THE COAL BARoNs

WASHINGTON, d. c., jane IT,
a drive on profiteers in bituninods
coal was ordered today by Attorney
General Palmer. All federal district
attorneys we're ordered to give special
attention to charges of such profit
eering and to seek indictment where
investigation warranted. 1.-THE de-
partment Of Justice said Palmer s
instructions, "is receiving a number
of letters in which complaint is made
that bituminous coal prices at the
mines now range from seven to eleven
dollars a ton with further increase
imminent. The writers say that oper-
ators are attributing the advance in
pay to car shortage and export de
mand, emphasis being placed upon
the export demand
"Production cost figures gathered
by the federal trade commission from
a thousand and fifty-eight bituminous
coal operators in the principal pro-
duction mining districts numbering
roughly about go per cent Of the an
nual output, show that during Janu-
airy. 1920, their costs per ton average
1912 at the mines. Since then there
has been an increase of p per cent in
the cost of labor, enhancing the pro-
duction cost to 1910 per ton. The
accuracy of these figures is borne out
bv information in letters coming to
the department from purchasers Of
coal. from which it appears that
prices in May did not greatly exceed
those furnished TO the federal trade
commission for January.
"This situation surely demands the
prompt attention of all United States
attorneys. Please give special at
tention to the matter and seek indict-
ments where investigation discloses
that an unreasonable profit has been
taken, advising the department of
action taken"
