Stop Gouging.
In Discussing Coal Prices Operators
Say That They Only Receive
Reasonable Profits.

Cleveland-At an open meeting here
of approximately 1000 coal operators
representing 1000 soft coal operators
in the country and three-fourths Of the
total production, a resolution was una.
nimously adopted pledging their sup.
port to Attorney General Palmer to
eliminate unreasonable high prices and
unwise practices where such exist.
This action was taken following the
receipt of a message from the Attorney
General requesting the bituminous coal
operators of the country to cooperate
with the Department of Justice In
bringing about the elimination of un.
reasonable high prices for coal.
The general meeting was called by
Colonel d. B. Wentz, president Of the
National Coal association, to consider
a telegram sent by the Attorney Cen
eral to the association last week, urg.
ing that steps be taken to eliminate
exorbitant prices for soft coal.
Profiteerlng Is Denied.
In discussion at the open meeting
many maintained that bituminous op-
orators generally were only receiving
reasonable profits and that the large
majority strongly condemned profiteer.
ing in coal prices, which. II 1t existed,
was the exception rather than the
rule.
A message from the National Coal
association committee to C. Fl. Aitchi
son, Interstate Commerce Commission

charge OF the movement of coal to the

Concrete Steamer Cape Fear
Goes Down in Naragan-
sett Bay.
NINETEEN ARE MISSING
Fifteen Sailors are Rescued BY Other
Steamer, City Of Atlanta-Cause
Of Accident Has Not Been
Determined.

Newport, r. 1.-The concrete
steamer Cape Fear, a United States
Shipping Board vessel, was sunk in
the deepest part of Narragansett Bay
in a collision with the Savannah Line
steamer City of Atlanta. At a late
hour, nineteen of the crew of thirty
four OF .be sunken vessel were unac
counted for. The Cape Fear sank IN
three minutes, about halfway between
Castle Hill on the Newport shore, and
Rose Island, going down bow first in
125 fathoms.
The Cape Fear was outward bound
from Providence for Norfolk in bal
last, and carried only its crew, as did
the City of Atlanta, which was bound
from Savannah for Providence with a
cargo Of pig iron. Just how the &C
cident happened was not determined.
especially as the weather was clear,
with only a slight cloudiness and a
light sea running.
The City of Atlanta's bow was dam
aged, the result Of hitting the Cape
Fear amidships, but although there
was a w foot hole above the main
deck tie bulkheads held and the
steamer anchored in the bay.
or the fifteen men saved from the
Cape Fear. five slid down lines to the
City of Atlanta and the others were
picked up from the water by ropes
or by boats that were lowered for
them.
Captain Garfield 6: :hc CITY c: 4.
lanta, in describing the accident, said
he picked up the lights Of the Cape
Fear and signaled with one whistle
which vas answered. He was bear
ing steadily to port, he said, with
plenty Of clearance room when sud.
denly the Cape Fear swung across
his bow, blowing two whistles as a
signal after he had turned to cross
on the other side, He ordered full
speed astern, but could not avoid the
collision.
The City Of Atlanta struck square
ly with its bow, the blow cutting a
deep hole in the Cape Fear and shat
tering the concrete. Lines immedi-
ately were thrown aboard, but the
steamer sank so quickly hat the ma
jority of the crew had to dive over
board.

Stagnancy in Buying BY Dock

ASSAILS FUEL DEALERS
congestion at Lake Erie Ports Is One
of Reasons Given by Interstate
Commerce CommissIon-North-
west Supply Held Ample.

st. PnuHCharges that the people of
the Northwest had turned their
backs" on efforts OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission TO procure
them fuel, were made by Judge John
F. MCGEE, on the receipt here Of news
from Washington that priority orders
for the shipment OF csai here via Lake
Erile ports had been indefinitely
suspended. Judge MCGEE has just re-
turned from Washington and Cleve-
land. where he worked, as fuel com
missioner OF the Northwest, In the in
terest of coal consumers here.
Emergency orders for the prefer
snce in car supply and priority in the
movement of bituminous coal to Lake
Erie ports for trans-shipment to the
Northwest, were suspended by the In
terstate Commerce Commission after
1t had become generally known that
such action would be taken. The
suspension of the order, to take effect
immediately, was a surprise to coal
dealers of the Twin Cities, although it
had been rumored In Official circles
that 1t would be withdrawn about No
vember !.
That this action is not a real cause
for alarm to consumers here. and that
there is little danger Of any actual suf-
fering this winter, was the opinion ex-
pressed of C. A. Bruce, secretary OF
the Twin City Coal Dealers exchange,
representing most of the retail coal
dealers in Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Congestion at Terminals.
In suspending the order. the com.
mission gave the following reasons:
First--Lake Erie terminals have be-
come seriously %congested with loaded
coal ears because of slow buying by
Northwestern dock companies.
Second-The shipments are nearly
up to those of last year.
Withdrawal of the Northwest order
leaves in force only the general prior
ity Of coal over all other traffic moving
In coal cars. and about 170,0 900 cars
have been specially released from that
order for movement of building and
road materials and certain perishables,
such as sugar beets.
The suspension follows closely on

MCGEE. Before leaving Cleveland.
