 To The Editor of The Age-Herald
 I notice in your morning issue of yes- terday, Sunday. October 10th, 1920. that in your report of talk which I made before Community Club Sat urday, october 9th, your reporter re- ported me as saying that S5 per cent e the coal production Of this dis t-;c. was sold under contract in April and May at s4 per ton, and that prices under certain contracts had been 1n- creased until now the price was $5. This was either a typographical error or a misunderstanding on the part of your reporter, as to what was really said. I realize that in printing a part of what was said it Is inevitable that the printed version will not carry The full meaning of what was said, nor the true facts.
 What I did say was this: That S5 per cent of the commercial coal production that is, the coal which is mined md sold by coal-producing companies of Alabama--was sold under contract in April and May at prices which yielded only small margin of profit to the operators; that the high grade fancy lump domestic coal was contracted for sale at $4 per ton and that the sliding scale under said contract now make
 
 high grade fancy lump domestic coal comprised only small amount of the commercial coal mined in Alabama ar d came from only few mines in the Ca haba, Corona and Carbon Hill coal fields and a few mines on Black Creek seam. That the preparation of this coal for the high grade domestic mar ket entailed considerable expense and that only about thirty per cent of the output of the mines preparing domes- tic coal was available or could be pre- pared for domestic coal. the balance being small sizes which had to be sold at much lower price for steam rse. much of which was sold to the rail- roads at nominal profit. That in ar- irving at the profit, if any, the opera tors made the average price recovery for all grades of coal produced by the particular mine necessarily controlled the per ton profit for the entire output of the particular mine. and that such average per ton profit being realised by the substantial operators and those who had been in business sometime and expected to continue in business in the future was very much lower than
