ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTS.
Investigation Ordered Upon Com

Washington, d. G.. April Federal
district attorneys were instructed on
Saturday by a Mitchell Palmer. att5r-
ney- general to receive and consider
complaints of profiteering in bitumi =
nous coal which may arise in your
district, under the Lever act"
Mr.. Planners telegram was prepared
after some bituminous coal operators
had stated publicly that the new wage
scale agreed on under the terms of the
award by the coal strike settlement
commission would result in an in
crease of from so cents to sf25 a ton
on coal.
Pointing out that the total increase
in wages had been estimated at ap-
proximately 5000 900, 900 a year. Mr.
Palmer said that If this entire amount
were added by the operators to the
price ii would make an increase OF
only 40 cents a tom
IF. however. the operators absorb
the ~ per cent increase which became
effective in Decembr.r' said tn attor-
ney- general. there will be left only
SIS o0o. 900 to be passed on to the con-
sumner. In this event the increase in
the price OF coal at the mine should
amount to 20 cents a ton.
Il understand that an exaggerated
estimate of the demand for export coal
is affecting the market price. particu-
larly from Illinois East, this demand
having been estimated at as much as
1eo.c0o.ooo tons But i am advised
that our port facilities are adequa te
for the export of only 100000 per
annum. that is to say per cent of
our total production This should not
be made an excuse for raising the
price for normal consumption.
