ID. c. CHIEFS ORDER
COAL CONFERENCE
W ITH MERCHANTS
Program to Meet Emer.
gency Here Will Be
Framed Saturday.

Prevention of profitee-ing in coal
during the strike period and the dis
tribution of fuel according to the
importance and urgency of the needs
are the two basic principles upon
which the District Commissioners
are personally assuming control OF
the coal situation in Washington.
A conference has been called be-
tween the District Commissioners
and the local coal merchants for
Saturday morning n which. time the
coal merchants will be informed as
to the plan of distribution and the
percentage of profit that will be
deemed fair and just.
Gathering Fuel Data.
The Public Utilities Commission is
gathering information as to the coal
resources and their location. the
coal needs of the city and their rela-
tive Importance, and the prices that
are now being charged for coal both
by the retail dealers and at the mines.
Employees of the Commission began
to gather the information yester-
day and are expected to have 1t
ready for Saturdays conference.
The plans of the Commissioners
call for personal control of the coal
situation. but 1t was stated that
should the work become tcS heavy a
special agency would be appointed.
The problem was threshed out at
yesterdays meeting Of the Board Of
Commissioners.
The Commissioners disclaimed any
intention of issuing a fair price list
for the various kinds of COAL They
intimated. however, that efforts on
the part Of the coal merchants to
be fair profit on the investment
would result in those merchants find
ing their supply cut on.
VIII Direct shipments.
1t was stated that the weapon un-
der which the Commissioners ex-
pected to dominate the situation was
the power to direct all coal shipments
into the city to such merchants as
were willing to operate under the
rules 10 be laid down. The Commits
sioners expressed themselves as be-
lieving the coal merchants would be
glad to cooperate in the work to be
undertaken.
The rationing will be along the
Hines laid down by the national ad-
mfnfstration. Public utilities and
government agencies and bureaus
would have first preference. Essen-
tial industries would follow after
which homes would take their place.
The less essential industries would
take the Remainder OF the supply.
