Coal Profiteering

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Federal control
of coal prices and OF distribution OF
fuel by volunteer organizations stopped
'"day pending passage Of emergency
legislation by congress.
Abrogation OF the fair price agree
ments with non-union coal operators et-
feCtive today was announced by Federal
Fuel Distributor Spencer. who said the
Narious district and general committees
Of emergency fuel organization Will
cease TO function next Saturday. Until
then. Mr. Spencer said. the organization
Will be busy cleaning up the orders now
on It's hands.
Money Saved to Public,
The agreement as to price restraint
with the non-union operators" Mr.
Spencer said. expires today with tho
resumption OF the union bituminous
mines About 20 percent OF the oper-
ators have held to this agreement, and
Il Is felt that the public has been saved
a very large sum.
Pending the action Of congress and
the state authorities the only restraint
upon price Is the chedule of fair prices
declared by governors or by state coal
commissioners in some OF the states. to
which II is earnestly hoped the operat-
ors and dealers will conform. These
prices are about $3.50 q ton maximum in
tho Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee
and Virginia fields: 1915 for Pennsyl-
vania thick vein and s4.75 for thin vein.
Standards have not yet been set IN
other states.
The legislation before congress can
only control the price OF coal moving
over state lines; that IS interstate COM
mrrce. The price Of coal produced and
consumed in state, together with tho
charges which wholesalers and retailers
within the state may make. the latter
including even Interstate coal, should be
controlled by the state authorities.
There can he no real control OF pronteer-
inr unless the state authorities act.

COAL SITUATION
EDECUSSED
Local Committee Receives
Communication From
Fuel Director.

J. G. Sherlock, chairman Of the
committee appointed by Mayor Rob-
ert Anderson to investigate the coal
situation in this city. today received
a communication from Ivan Bowen Of
st. Paul, chairman Of the central, coal
committee, in reply to a letter from
n local committee.
Mr.. Bowen stated that an acute an
thracite coal shortage is inevitable in
the northwest and cities must govern
themselves accordingly by making: ef-
minous coal and Ignite
Letters were also received by local
coal, dealers from Mr.. Bowen warning
them from keeping coal in cars long
er than 4S hours. Every car avail
able Is needed to nov coal from the
east. the communication stated and
dealers were asked to cooperate in
this matter by unloading cars quick
ly..
Following is the letter received by
the local committee:
toy give you the present situation as
regards coal.
Rail coal is moving from Illinois,
Indiana and Kentucky freely and In
considerable quantities. Those COM
munities to which these shipments Of
rail coal are available should take adj
vantage of the present free movement
Of rail coal to supply their winter
needs. SC far as possible. As soon as
cold weather hits railroad transporta-
ton the movement is going to slow
up to add further to the emergency.
1T Is not expected that more than
so per ont of the usual supplies can
be moved over the lakes before the
close of navigation. That will create
a greater demand for rail coal.
There is a movement of anthracite
coal at this time and dock supplies
Of hard coal in Minnesota have been
practically exhausted. Mr.. Conn Is
now in Washington working at the
hard coal situation and although we
expect to secure some results. there is
going to be proportionately far less
hard coal than soft shipped over the
lakes. No opportunity should be lost
by consumers in making arrange
ments to. use substitutes for hard coal,
either by changing their apparatus to
make possible the use of soft Goa or
wood, or by installing equipment to
use fuel oil.
1.-The car control bill has passed
congress and Is now law, and Mr..
Conrad Spens has been appointed
federal fuel administrator. 1t is ex-
pected with this law to have some
control by the federal government
over prices at the mines. as cars will
be refused tho3e mines which charge,
or attempt to charge excessive prices.
al orders for coal will be expected
to be placed through the regular COM
mercial channels. and the laying in Of
stocks of coal should be encouraged
at reasonable prices.
yours truly,
Ivan Bowen-fuel director"
The local committee will meet this
evening in the city hall to further
discuss the coal situation, especially
as to what steps to take to get an ade-
quate supply of Ignite from North
