NOW THE RETAILER
Big Business Publications Are Now
Insisting That Retailers Must Re-
duce Retail Prices. Now the De-
cree Has Gone Forth, And The Re-
taller Will "Get His"

But it will not be forgotten that
some months ago there was a propa-
ganda the purpose of which was to
make it appear that drastic price re-
ductions were entirely unlikely. It
now appears that this was done to
enable the great producing corpora
tions to clear off their inventories at
the old prices, before the beginning
Of downward movement while they
were not only sure was coming but
which they had already planned.
Many workingmen are paying as
high prices for all necessities as they
paid year ago, though their wages
have already been cut down, or they
are assured that they must accept the
lower wage or lose their jobs. The
wheat that the farmer sells for lit
tie over two cents pound, when
made into flour and baked into bread
sells at 20 cents a pound. The flour
in one pound loaf, if bought at pres
ent prices, costs about cents, and in
most places the loaf is sold for Is
cents. The price of wheat and other
grains have been steeply on the down
grade since the middle of July. Un-
der these conditions with bankrupt
farmers and workers, retailers cannot
possibly prosper.
We feel sorry for him, but the Gin
dependent" business man has lot to
learn about the forces that control
him and his business. He has yet to
learn that he has more in common
with the toilers than with those who
claim the right to control the fruits
of toll. We trust he will learn it be-
fore it is too late, tho the Leaguer's
experience with him makes this only
a faint hope.

n. D. RAIL RATES.
HELD UNFAIR BY court
Interstate Commerce Commission Up
holds One of Attorney General Lem
ke's Principal Contentious And Or
ders Railway Company to Lower
Rate Charges in North Dakota.

On November 18th the Interstate
Commerce Commission issued an or
der compelling the discontinuance of
discriminatory freight rates and oil
shipments in North Dakota, but the
principle applies to all other commodi-
ties. The order was the, outcome Of
a suit brought in 1919 by the Inde-
pendent Home Oil Co., of Fairmont,
N. D., and, though it was issued on
Nov. 18th, it has only recently been
received in Fargo. by Mr.. A. w. Lind
quist, treasurer of the oil company.
The railroads admit the discrimination
but say Minnesota's rates should be
raised instead of North Dakota's low
cred, which contention was, Of course,
to be expected, from the rail rate
hogs. But the Commerce Commission
has evidently begun to hear from the
"backwoods" and thought otherwise
for once.
Rate Held Too High =.
Mr.. Lindquist's company purchased
oil in car lots from the Oklahoma oil
fields. It was charged a considerably
higher rate to Fairmount than to
Breckenridge and Fergus Falls points
farther than Fai1mount, but in Min
nesota. The company demanded OF
the commerce commission that this
discrimination cease. The railroads
admitted the discrimination but as
serted the fault lay with local Min
nesota rates which, if the commerce
commission decided a change was ne.
cessary, should be increased rather
than that the Fairmount rate be low.
cred.
The commission however, ordered
that the rate from Tulsa, Okla, and
Coffeyville, Kan, be made the same tc
Fairmount as to Breckenridge anc
Fergus Falls. This will result, accord.
ing to Mr.. Lindquist, in a saving tt
his company of about $4,000 nex1
year. The new order becomes effect
i've March II, 1921. !.
Open Way to Reduce Rates
Altho the order applied merely t,
rates on oil between the points al
named, Mr.. Lindquist asserts tha
other shippers in North Dakota ma,
secure it's application to other point
and to other commodities. In con
nection with William Lemke's victor,
IN regard to intrastate rates, MI
Lindquist says that, as regards oi
shipments, it will be a simple matte
to effect a saving of many thousand
OF dollars yearly, merely by applyin,
for an order extending the rate grant
ed from Tulsa and Coffeyville to 10
cal points in North Dakota.

PLENTY OF FUNDS FOR
ORGANIZED FORCES

Ihe Federal Reserve advises the
farmers of the northwest to grin and
bear it. In reply to telegram stating
that the agricultural interests were
facing bankruptcy, Governor Harding
OF the Federal Reserve Board ex-
planned in careful detail that while
the Federal Reserve Board regrets"
the embarrassments which are at
tendant upon the commerce, business
and agriculture Of the country" it de-
sires to state "most positively" "that
these conditions have not been brot
about by any acts or politics Of the
Federal Reserve Board of the Federal
Reserve System"
/ 1T will now however, be forced in
ste the adoption Of policies which in it's
Judgment would be unwise and ruinous
aHd which would eventually involve
the farmers as we'll as others in dis
,aster."
~ Meanwhile, the New York Times
features loans aggregating two hun
dred million dollars to certain South
American countries. The plans are
proceeding for loans to China, and
Rradstreet announces that the amount
Of money invested in new corporate
stocks and bonds for the first ten
months of 1920 is 12,242 millions.
There Is plenty of money in New
York, Boston, Chicago and the other
business centers. But the farmers are
not going to get it.
The Federal Reserve System is a
part of a mechanism whose purpose
is to protect property interests against
possible damage. When it comes to a
choice between the interests of little
property owners like farmers and big
property owners like bankers and
railroad managers, the big fellows get
the preference. That is what is hap
pening now. Somebody was due to get
pinched and the farmer being the least
organized, and therefore the least cap
able of making any kind of effective
comeback, was the goat.
There is plenty of money in sight
for those who have the power to com
mand it. The farmers largely morgan.
lied, and therefore impotent, must
take what is left over. Just now the
crumbs are favored with bankruptcy

2. A cheaper railroad rate. and
consequently cheaper rate In the
summer than In the winter.
3. Railroad cars for coal to receive
priority so that there is no car
shortage.
AS has been stated in these columns,
the supply of bituminous coal Is prac-
tically inexhaustbble, since 1t Is esu-
mated that at the present rate Of
consumption II will last 5000 years.
The deposits aggregate between three
and four trillion tons in widely scat
tered area over the United States.
The Senate Committee in Washing
ton has reported that there Is pracu-
cally no monopoly In the bituminous
coal industry. As against this, the Sc
preme Court has already ordered a
dissolution Of two of the largest
anthracite coal corporations because
Of the monopolstic tendencies.
New York City Is the worst sufferer,
since this city consumes the largest
amount OF anthracite OF any city In
the United States.
The coal cosnpa MES in tho past have
not only controlled the coal but the
railroads that carry the coal and the
sales companies that sold the coal. so
that the consumer has been, In the
vernacular, caught coming and go
ing"
Not only this, but excessive royal
ties on anthracite have boosted the
prices sky high as has no other one
element.
The Girard estate Is a glaring ex-
ample Of this. AS high as 1910 per
ton for royalties alone has been ex-
acted by this corporation this year
for the mare nriyilerp of mining the
coal.
This royalty price Is nearly as
much as the entire cost OF producing
the coal at the mine last year, in
Guiding royalty. 1t has practically
doubled In one year and. 1t Is be-
lieved. will 20 higher.
The citizens Of New York have one
weapon-quit buying anthracite coal.
This Is also urged by prominent Sem
ators in Washington as one sure way
of solving the problem.

new YORK ADVISED TO BURN
B|TUM|NOUS, NO ANTHRACITE,
TO FORCE CUT IN PRICES

making It possible for the people OF
New York 20 use soft coal and thus
break the high prices OF anthracite
and allay the shortage, he Will gladly
make.
On this point the Commissioner
made the following observation
There is a popular Idea that 1t Is
contrary TO the Sanitary Code 10
burn soft coal in the City Of New
York. This Is not thclaw. The code re-
quires that No person shall cause,
suffer or allow dense smoke to be
discharged from any building. vessel
stationary or locomotive engine or
motor vehicle. place or premises
within the City OF New York or upon
the waters adjacent thereto. within
the jurisdiction OF the said city"
1.-THE experts in this department.
say that IL 10 possible TO burn soft
coal in any furnace without Great
inc dense smoke. u is simply
matter Of regulating the feeding
Of the furnace.
Naturally, soft coal cannot be
burned under the same conditions
as hard coal Yet, with the high
price charged for anthracite II GER
talnly seems the part of wisdom for
the citizens OF New York City to
study the problem OF coal consump-
ton and to give consideration to the
increased use of soft coal"
To aid in this matter, DR.. Copeland
has set some OF his experts to work.
and in a short time he will present
methods OF using colt coal on prem
ises where formerly only anthracite
had been used.
According TO The Evening Worlds
investigation, the coal problem looms
larger every day, and the people OF
New York are practically at the
mercy of the coal barons in the
matter OF supply as we'll as in price.

Will Reduce Prices, Increase

L ible Plan.
By Sophie Irene Loeb.

In order to avert coal famine
which is forecasted by all authori-
ties, and in order to break the high
prices OF anthracite coal, DR.. Royal S
Copeland. Commissioner of Health
urges the people OF New York TO use
bitumino,ls or soft coal.
He said to-day: "One OF the great
est problems We had to deal with
last year was the question OF coal
supply. The Health Department
practically commandeered the an
thracite coal and determined where
II should be sent.
at looks to me as IL we would

with next year. The bins are
empty, and unless our citizens
awaken to the Importance Of pre-
pairing for cold weather, Il may

lar shortage next winter.
PERSONALLY and officially | well
coma any movement looking to
the education Of tho public to the
importance Of putting in supply
Of coal and to the study Of the
virtues Of soft coal, Of which
there is always an abundance"
Many residents OF the city. how
ever are Of the opinion that soft or
bituminous coal is forbidden to be
used. on account of the smoke. When
this matter was put before promi-
nent members OF the Board of Alder
men by The Evening World in its
campaign to reduce the cost of coal
the Aldermen found that the whole
matter was in the Sanitary Code and
under the jurisdiction OF the Health
Department, although these authori-
tiles were ready to foster an ordi-
nance that would lift the ban on
smoke.
Or. COPELAND SAYS THERE IS
NO BAN ON SOFT COAL.
therefore discussed this matter
with DR.. Copeland. and he assured me
that any move that he can make.
