From The Tribtre's Washington Bu-edu
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The War
Depa rtment last summer paid to one
company, which acted as its purchasing g
agent, an average of $3.50 a ton for
coal which cost $50 at the mine The
Navy Department commandeered coal,
for which it paid $425 to $3.50 a ton
leaving it to dissatisfied dealers to
appeal to the Court Of Claims The
Army Quartermaster Department rec
ommended to Secretary of War Baker
that coal should be commandeered for
the army. Mr. Baker rejected the sug-
gestion. The Qaartermaster Depart
ment then recommended that cars be
commandeered for the armys coat and
the Assistant Secretary of War re-
fused.
These were some of the details of
the coal situation of last summer and
fall which were brought out to-day in
the inquiry before the Senate commit
tee, of which Senator Calder is the
chairman.
Mr.. Calder announced that a bill
would be introduced in the Senate next
week providing for complete publicity
OF official coal cost data which would be
collected by the Federal Trade Com
mission. 1t is believed that such pu0-
licity would tend to keep down the
coast Of coal to the consumer. The
committee had discussed the form Of
the bill with Federal Trade Commits

Supply Big, but Price High
A letter from the depot quarter
master of New York to the Quarter
master General indicated coal could be
had if the department paid enough.
That's always the point" said Sem
ator Calder. You could always get
the coal if you paid the price,
Colonel Barney estimated that the
average of soft coal bought through
the Emmons Company and the Camp
bell Company was $3.50 to 81. He said
the War Department was not buying
coal now, that it had enough soft coal
and was not able to get anthracite
enough and was using crushed coke.
What was the highest price you
have been asked for anthracite ?"

High Prices Paid to Wentz Company
The company to which the average of
$3.50 ton was paid was the Wentz
Company, Of Philadelphia, of which D.
B. Wentz, former colonel in the army,
is president. Colonel Wentz also is
president Of the National Coal AS
sociation. To-days evidence centered
principally about the transactions with
this company. Colonel James P. Bar
ney, OF the Quartermaster Corps, who is
in charge of the purchase of coal for
the War Departm ent, was the principal
witness.
Colonel Vent, at his own request,
will 60 before the committee to-mor-
row to defend his course as purchasing
agent.
Colonel Barney testified to the diff
Guilty in obtaining bids for coal last
summer. and in July it was necessary
to buy it in the market. He said that
under the law The army is not allowed
to contract in March or April, when the
coal year begins, and the contracts
must be made in July.
Colonel Barney said ho went to
Philadelphia in September and made
arrangements with the Vent Com
pany, the Emmons Coal Company and
the R. O. Campbell Coal Company tc
act as agents and buy for the govern
ment. The Wentz Company wanted sc
cents ton commission and the other
companies 10 per cent. On late De
cember deliveries, subsequently, the
Wentz Company cut the commission tc
IS cents. The company purchased 62,-
900 tons for the army up to Novembel
80. The cost at mines was said to have
been $3.l0 a ton. What the committee
has not found out and what Senate,
Calder and his colleagues are mystified
about is what became of the $649 be
tween the cost at the mine and $3.50
the price the War Department hac
to pay.
Explaining the contracts with these
companies, Colonel Barney said it was
stipulated the price was n no case tc
be more than $ll ton, including com
mission.

Colonel Barney said the coal bought
in September and October cost about
81. which was less than other consum-
ers paid at that time
Questioned by Senator Calder, he
said the War Department, when it
could not bid last spring, did not call
