Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph,
In the absence Of the two other
city heads, took the reins Of au-
thority in hand today and told a
meeting of Washington coal mer-
chants that the city's prices for
next winters coal would be set by
the municipal authorities.
The dealers, it was announced
after the prolonged conference,
pledged cooperation with the
Commissioners and stated they
would rely on the latter's judg-
ment in regard to profit percent
ages.
Plan Adopted Before Departure.
AS Commissioners Oyster and
Keller are vacationinR out OF
Washington, 1t is improbable that
the matter will again be taken up
until their return. Ii was under

board of Commissioners agreed OH

dolph in sole charge.
No exact figures on coal prices,
II was learned. came up at the
conference today, but Walter C.
Allen, secretary of the Public UtilI-
ties Commission, was requested to
make an investigation along those
lines, and report back to Commits
sioner Rudolph.
The conference, which lasted al
most two hours, ended with no
apparent dissatisfaction on the part
of the coal men. 1t is expected,
however, that fixing the precise
prices will be preceded by debate.
Plan to Require Many Days.
'The commissioners will fix the
prices according to their own
lights" said Mr.. Rudolph, land !
believe we will arrive at an ar
rangement which will result in
mutual satisfaction"
1t was pointed out today that
the price-fixing work of the COM
missioners may consume many
days, even after the three city
heads get together on the task.
No date for a future meeting of the
fuel merchants was set, due to the
uncertainty surrounding the time in
which such an investigation can be
completed. The coal dealers, how.
ever, understand that they are sub
ject to call and may be asked to sit
in with the Commissioners before
final prices are announced.
