COAL PRICES
TO jump SOON
Predict Local Dealers, Follow
4 ing Conference in Knoxville
Monday Afternoon.
MAY ADVANCE $3.50 TON

Present indications are that local
domestic coal prices WIN advance in
August, state retail dealers. A. C. Car
roll. Of the Carroll Coal company, who
returned Monday night from a confer
ence with coal mine operators at Knox
vile. stated that he looks for an adj
vance OF from 81 to $3.50 ton making
coal retail In Chattanooga for from
about $3.50 to SlS ton. /. b. Merriam
also declared that dealers would have
70 increase their prices. The Atlanta
fair prices committee has already set
the prices of coal at about $l5 a ton,
according to the local dealer. There is
less than dollar difference in the
freight rate.
While there will be shortage OF coal
this winter, Mr.. Carroll stated that II
was his opinion that neither of the
two priority orders OF the Interstate
commerce commission will affect the
local fuel situation to any great eK-
tent.
A copy OF the order received by one
mine operator provided that where
mines had orders for shipment OF coal
70 the northwest these orders must be
given the preference. Mines which have
not booked orders for the northwest
VIII not then be affected by the order.
The priority order has thus far had
no erect whatever on the local fuel
situation, according TO a Southern rail-
way official, who declared that more
coal Is being received now than at any
time since the coal strike.

The best thing for steady use is Null

anything else you can use.

gagged In the computation and assembly

Sweetwater. July 27.-(Special) I'm
the course of an interview with The
News correspondent here today, Col
H. X. Bryson, candidate for railroad
commissioner, brought serious charges
Of extravaganza and inefilciency against
the administration of Gov. Roberts and
the railroad commission.
His purpose was to Illustrate and en-
phasize the urgent necessity OF placing
n new man on the railroad commission
who would watch the interests of all
charge that there has been an annual
Increase In these expenses OF admins
tration OF the state government under
Gov Roberts of $212,76700 over the
preceding two years under Gov. Rye.
This increased expense does not In
rlude increased cost of state institu-
lions, schools. highways, legislative and
judicial departments. II relates only TO
offices and departments and activities
belonging to the administration.
Il charge that since Gov. Roberts
has been chairman OF the Tennessee
board of administration the average
net proceeds from the operation of the
Rrushy mountain mines. from the sale
of coke and from the operation of the
state penitentiary at Nashville have
been reduced $26,775.36 per month or
total sum for the eighteen months of
Gov. Roberts administration OF $499, $50.
All of which may be verified by the
books of the state comptroller and the
board of administration"
Col. Bryson charged further that the
Increase In cost of operation and main
tanning the penitentiaries and the three
hospitals for the insane for the period
OF the Roberts administration. as COM
pared with the preceding two years has
been SIG, 900 per month or matter OF
Si69, 600 for the eighteen months. He
also pointed out large increases OF cost
and expense in other departments of
the state government and asserted that
much more than $2,S00 900 will have to
be raised by taxation II the Roberts
administration is given two more years

Adjutant- Generals Report
Tells Governor ARMED
Guards Not Used.

Charleston. w. Va. July 27.--Condi-
tons in the Guyan valley coal fields
OF West Virginia, and incidents leading
up to the march of armed miners
toward that region In September 1919,
are reviewed in the report OF Maj. T.
=. Davis, acting acknowledgement, who
was named to make the inquiry by
Governor Cornwell. The report was
made public today,
Efforts OF United Mine Workers,
members OF district ", to unionize the
Guyan field resulted In the march Of
miners into Boone county toward Lo-
gan. according to the report. The major
charged that certain activities OF union
ofiicials and communications sent out
from district II headquarters tended to
start the armed invasion which. accord
ing to state officials, was for the pur-
rose OF forcing organization upon the
Guyan Miners
Several hundred MINERS from the
union fields of southern Vest Virginia

and union officials had appealed to the
men to abandon the idea OF invading

Coal operators OF the valley do not
charged, but they are paying monthly
through their association, 20 the sheriff
a sum of money which Is used to pay
certain deputies, the report said This
practice Is condemned by the major
Regarding the charge that miners
had been "beaten and slugged' in tho
Guyan field, the report SAYS that while
= number of witnesses had testified
that they had been arrested and beaten,
these incidents do not suffice to sus-
tain this charge or to Justify the whole
sale indictment Of conditions IN Logan"
Other conclusions reached in the re- |
port were:
Rates Of pay are apparently not below
those In union fields labor, Industrial
and living conditions are as good ms In |
the best coai fields Of the state; wilt
neSses differed regarding the question
Of whether ,the miners wanted 10 be
organized, and that the charge that
workers are kent In the mines by
threats and intimidation were not sus-
trined by the evidence secured,
