 DEFENDS S20 COAL
Upholds Dealers and Attacks Pao.
 neSSa for His Stand
FEELS CITY IS BENEFITED
Better to Have High Price and Sup ply Than Low Price and None of  Commodity, He Explains in Resume of Entire Situation.

Supporting the local coal dealers who are asking SIS and $2o a ton for coal, Fuel Administrator Ernest w, Christ remarked today that 1t Is far better to have high price and have coal on hand, than to. advertise low price and have not a single pound of the commodity for delivery. The lat ter is true of many of the cities who have $1s and s17 maximum prices he asserted. The administrator urged that householders buy only such sup plies as are necessary for the imme- diate future; that dealers refrain from the purchase of independent coal and all other that markets at more than s9.25 at the mines for the next few weeks, and he ventured to say that eventually s1e ton price will be possible.
 Criticizes Paonessa.
 Administrator Christ severely criti- cized Mayor A. M. Paonessa for his activity in the matter of coal prices, insofar as it relates to politics, and his alleged inactivity insofar as it af- fects the duties of his office as mayor. Commenting upon the situation which arose as result of Mayor Paonessa's published statement that fuel should be materially reduced, Mir. Christ said:
 "Playing Politics.
 Tt is the duty of a mayor to in- terest himself in the matter of coal prices for the benefit of the city. but not to play politics with so import ant matter. Mayor Paonessa has played politics with the coal situa- tion He is fully acquainted with the matter of prices; he has been in con- ference with Administrator Russell 1t Hartford. l can play politics with anyone and get lots of enjoyment out of it, but I can only do it when I'm not in office. l strenuously object to this sort of thing. It isn't right
 Challenges Statement.
 Mir. Christ presented letters re- ceived from the mayor to substantiate his claim that it was not at the lat ter's suggestion that the meeting was called to fix maximum price.
 The communication in question re- quested Of the administrator that he name what in his opinion, was a fair price, ks to be used in answ erine queries at the mayors office. Tn an- sver. MT. Christ wrote the mayor that the matter was too complicated 10 be discussed in a letter and agreed to 1 meet the mayor at the latter's office. | This was never requested of him, he said.
 Presents Statistics.
 Discussing the coal situation from the beginning, Mir. Christ pointed out that 67,7os tons of hard coal were received here between April 1, 1921, and April l, 1922, in what is known as the coal year" On April l. 1922. there were S,73s tons in storage. an average of less than 1000 tons to dealer. During the period of the strike, from April 1 to September Is. only 3,324 tons came into the city. The city's allotment. which is so per cent of what was received last year, is 4o,335 tons, only part of which is
