teering Seems to Require Action,
Says Nebeker, Who Promises

government for coal last year, Acting
Attorney General Nebeker announced
Saturday on receipt of the findings OF
the senate committee on reconstruc
ton, which has been investigating the
sale of fuel to the war department
and other branches Of the government
during the shortage.
Prices asked government depart
ments for coal as set forth In the COM
mittee's report the acting attorney
general said, appeared to warrant and
"even require" investigation by the
department Of justice. Prosecutions
will be Instituted and pressed to the
limit. he added, should the facts de.
veloped bear out the evidence submit
ted by the committee.
1t would appear on the face of the
report, Mr.. Nebeker said, that prices
charged the government for coal were
exorbitant to a degree, and that action
would lie under the Lever act for
profiteering. Names of more than a
score Of concerns who had supplied
coal to the government were listed by
the committee, he added, but would
not be announced, pending an invests
cation, which would include study
Of statistics of coal costs, prices
charged and the committees estimate
Of what would have been fair
margin of profit.
Replies to kilograms Of inquiry sent
to chambers Of commerce and munich
pal authorities over the country by
the senate coal investigating commit
tee began coming in Saturday and
were said to indicate that retail coal
prices were on the decline.
