AGREEMENT CUTS
HARD-C0AL PRICE
1925 May Be Maximum Ton
Charge at Independent
Mines.
REDUCTIONS IMMEDIATE
Fifth Of Anthracite Output At
fected-Bigger Operators Quo
tation Is $685..
REDUCTIONS IMMEDIATE

An agreement which is expected to
result in fixing the maximum price
of anthracite mined by "independ-
ent' operators at S9.25 a ton at the
mines has been reached between the
Pennsylvania authorities and Fuel
Distributor Spens. representing the
federal government.
The agreement, announced here to.
day by w. D. B. Ainey. chairman of
tine Pennsylvania fuel commission, is
regarded by officials as assuring i'm
mediate reductions in the hard coal
prices now charged by independent
operators controlling 20 per cent of
the output, thus removing a price
discrepancy that has been the cause
of complaint iii all consuming terri
tories.
Chairman Ainey. with Mr.. Spens.
and with Eugene c. FELTON,, repre-
senting the fair practices committee
in the anthracite industry, reached
the agreement at conferences held
last night and today.
Restrict Hold-Out Operators.
The largest part of the production
of anthracite. an amount estimated
by officials at 20 per cent of the to-
tai. comes from a group of large
mines which now are charging from
IS to SS.35 a ton, while some of the
independent operators have been
charging up above s12 a ton. The
arrangement by which the price will
be held down to 1925 is described as
an indirect one. but 1t is said to be
probable that mine owners who re-
fuse to & ,ide by the decision will
have their operations restricted by
use of the governments power to
regulate transportation.
I'm view of the fact that a number
of sc-called individual or independent
operators have signified a willing
ness to set prices below the sS.25
maximum and also that this maxi
mum is reduction from prices pre-
said today. the Pennsylvania fuel
commission approved the recommen-
dation. 1t is Joined in this approval
by the federal fuel distributor.
States to BE Notified.
Notification will be sent to all state
fuel authorities of the action of the
commission, with lists of operators
subscribing to prices of 1926 and
under. By direction of the fuel COM
mission and the federal fuel distrib-
utor, the fair practices committee
(also representing the Pennsylvania
fuel administrator will proceed i'm
mediately to consider the remaining
approximately per cent of the total
production for the purpose of either
recommending the prices which it Is
fair for them to charge or the ad-
visibility of discontinuance of such
costly production.
The committee will be directed to
conclude its findings and make it's
report on or before October 81.
A large part of the difficulties lead
ing to complaints by consumers has
been due to impossibility of ascer-
tanning in advance what would be
the cost of anthracite shipments
Many eastern cities have been sup
piled with anthracite shipments in
which the same quality of coal has
been sold for four or five different
prices. Under the plans the differ
ence will be only about 81 a ton
whether an order is supplied from the
Independent mines or from the larger
producing units in the industry

raging on the vessel and immediate

rushing to the assistance of the burn
ing liner and should reach her be-
tween noon and l o'clock.
At 3 o'clock the Federal Telegraph
Company received a wireless message
saying that passengers were leaving
the ship. A message relayed to the
MatSon offices at the same time by the

VICTORY FOR RUSSIA.
Failure of Trade Pact With British
Moscow Reprisal.

BERLIN. October 12.-MaXim Lit
vinoy, Russian vice commissar for
trade and foreign affairs, summed up
the views of the soviet government
on the near eastern situation in a
statement which he made to the
writer today.
"Kemal Pasha's victory in the near
east is a greater victory for soviet
Russia than for Turkey" he said.
For one thing. the treaty Of Sevres
was completely upset by 1t. proving
that in the long run such treaties are
nothing but scraps of paper a term
which. in my opinion. will also be ap-
piled eventually to the pact of YER
sailles. But above ALL we believe and
hope that the debacle of the British
policy in the near east will mean the
downfall of Prime Minister Lloyd
George, thereby making easier the
adoption of a new attitude toward So
Wet Russia.
If it had not been for the treaty
between Moscow and the Angora
Republic Kemal Pasha would never
have been successful.
