New York, July 27,---Appoint-
ment by Attorney General Palmer
today of a committee to decide on
fair margin of profit for produc-
ers and dealers in hituminous coal.
beyond which prosecution under
the Lever act will follow, Is expect
ed to "have deterrent effect on
those who are now taking excessive
profits" This view was expressed
in a Joint statement tonight by Mr..
Palmer and Charles S. Allen, secre-
tary OF the Wholesale Coal Trade
association of New York.
Attorney General Palmer the
statement said, has asked this
copmittee to consider the Feasibility
OF naming fair margin OF profit
for producers and dealers In bitum-
INDUS coal. 1t Is not the intention
OF the department to fix prices. II
is expected that the committee VIII
advise the attorney general upon
this matter within few days and
it is the purpose of Attorney Gen
eral Palmer to instruct the United
States district attorneys and, his
special representatives that pro-
Queer or dealer selling coal at or
under that figure will be presumed
to be within the spirit and the let
ter of the Lever law and that as TO
those who exceed the margins, such
action will call for an investigation.
1t is felt by Attorney General
Palmer and concurred In by the
committee that this action viii
have a deterrent effect upon those
who are now taking excessive
profits.
The Lever law against profiteer-
ing applies to export as well as
domestic coal.
Mr.. Allen said that the co,niit,t-
tees price will undoubtedly be
materially lower than the prcaent
market price of soft coal. Ihe
The committee hoped. he addei,
that the chief effect will be TO se-
cure o larger percentage OF deiiy-
cries under contracts row .cld by
the large consumers and q eonse-.
auent reduction in the amount OF
free soft coal.

Delegate Geo. B. Grigsby is in re- ceipt of a letter from Congressman Sydney E. Mudd, of Maryland, ac- knowledging an appreciation of his as- sistance in securing legislation for Alaska Senator Mudd adds: This re- minds me that I neglected to thank you for your assistance in regard to Maryland road appropriations.
 "I have secured three of the four appropriations, and feel that your in terview with Senator Jones was of great assistance to me, so that is was a pleasure for me to reciprocate.
 "I was sorry about the Cordova courthouse bill after all the trouble we went to, but you may quote me as saying that there will be no op' position to the bill next session and it will undoubtedly pass. AS you know, this bill is first on the unan, imous consent calendar and will be reached early in the session."
