DISTRICT MAY GET
COAL AT $11AT0N
Flat Price Considered at
Meeting of Public Util-
tiles Commission.

The Public Utilities Commission has
practically decided to fix fiat price
for all soft coal sold in Washington
this winter, 1t was learned today.
1t was reliably reported that the
price will be somewhere between
s10.50 and $11 per ton, according to
present indications.
Announcement of the actual figure
probably will not be made, however
until Commissioners oyster and kel-
Ter return to the city.
Commissioner Rudolph and Walter
C. Allen, secretary to the Utilities
Commission. conferred for more tnah
an hour this morning with the COM
mittee representing the Goa! dealers
Of the city on the price question.
Dealers Profit. g.
1t is understood that discussion was
confined to the question of a falr
charge for soft coal, the feeling evil
IDENTIFY being that it would be prema-
ture to discuss hard coal prices when
there is little or no hard coal arriving.
1t was estimated today that II the
price for soft coal Is placed between
S10.50 and Sill, it would give the coal
dealers a margin of close to 81 per
ton.
OF course, all coal dealers do not get
their coal at exactly the same fig
ure and the fixing Of fiat retail
price may mean that the margin of
some dealers will vary slightly from
others.
If a sliding scale of prices was
allowed according to the cost Of coal
to the Individual dealer. 1t was point
ed out, the dealer without a mine
contract who gets his supply from
a dump, would have to charge his
customers more than the dealer with
dump.
Commissioner Rudolph said, follow
ing the conference. that there was no
statement the commission could make
at this time on the price question
further than the fact that prices were
discussed and that decision would
not be announced until the other
Commissioners return.
Coal Priority Ruling.
1t was stated by the Commissioner
that the dealers committee displayed
a spirit Of cooperation and indicated
that they would adhere strictly to the
fair price when fixed.
Another development In the local
coal situation today was the receipt
by the Utilities Commission OF word
from the federal fuel distributors
office that it would not be practical to
allow coal merchants to cancel un-
filled priority orders when coal prices
drop. below the figure at which the
orders were placed.
This means that if. after dealer
has obtained a priority order for coal
on a certain mine at stated price the
nrice should go down. that dealer
could not cancel the order made at
the higher fighre.
Local coal dealers did not conceal
the fact that they were disappointed
at this ruling by the federal fuel dis
tributOr.

Congress is given an opportunity
to do grand thing in empire
building" in connection with the SOL
diers' bonus. Senator McNary. repub-
lican, Oregon, declared today in the
Senate, in urging his reclamation
amendment to that measure. Gaining
attention that, In every war the gov
ernment had provided as aid land for
veterans, he argued that there was
no good reason for the abandon
ment of this national policy at this
time.
This amendment is not novel In
any of its provisions" he said. ITS
purpose and scope is to encourage
the development of the agricultural
resources of the ! United States,
through federal and state co-opera-
tion. giving preference in the matter
Of employment and the establishment
of rural homes to those who have
served in the military and naval
forces of the United States in the
world war. the Spanish American war
and the Philippine insurrection.

lands in the United States the sum
of s35O,000,0O0. The amendment does
not supersede or displace the present
reclamation law. That law will con-
tfnue to operate exclusively in its
present field.
Large acres of swamp lands, sub
iect to drainage and suitable to come
within the provisions of this amend
ment, are located in practically every
state in the Union, the total extent
being in excess of 96,000.000 acres.
Under like conditions there are over
"a. 900, 900 acres Of land thirsty for
water in the intermountain states
and in the arid portions OF the racine
coast states.

/, Senator McNary quoted from re-
norts Of Secretary Fall and other fed
era, officials showing that thousands
of veterans desired land aid, and
added:
given to the Congress to do grand
thing in empire building. Lands that
now pant for water can be made fer-
tile and lands that are now burdened
with water can be made free and pro-
6nctiye. The ex-service men who de-
sire TO cast their destiny in the open
country can find rural fields for the
employment of their energies. The
social and economic evils that attend

averted and a happy and healthful

Successful Unions

Say, fellow unonists, is your
union as successful as it should be?
If not, why not? Are you doing your
best? Are you even doing half of
your best? Are you trying at all?
Or are you dead-beating your pas
sage on the good ship Organization
Perhaps you are one of those great
hindrances to the success of the labor
movement, the fellow that not only
won't help make a success but knocks
the one that is trying to do some
thing. In nearly every union we
have three classes: The worker,
the Stacker and the stumbling block.
Now, labor has a tremendous large
army. 1t could easily be the ruling
power. You know it. Everybody
knows it; but is either too lazy, or
too Indifferent. or too obstinate, or
short-sighted or something else. Now
supposing you and /. all of us. re-
solve that we will be honest-to-
goodness union men and women all
of the year, and do our level best
to make our unions the success they
can and should be? Attend our meet
ings, and talk and practice unionism,
union label, shop card and button all
of the time as well as in the meet
ings.
