POOR AGAINST
 COAL DEALER GOUGERS

Following receipts of information from various local fuel administrators of Connecticut of instances whereby the poor, especially in the larger cities, were being gouged by interruptions coal dealers, a conference was in Hartford between Thomas W. Russell, state fuel administrator, Charles W. Jaynes, dep uty administrator, ani Thomas r. Fa- gah, deputy superintendent of state po- lice in charge of the department Of weights and measures, announced was made that steps would be taken imme- diately to bring criminal action against coal dealers in certain localities against whom complaints have already been made.
 Following the conference Mir. Eagan said an investigation would be started immediately in every locality of the state with the cooperation of local seal CTS of weights and measures when ever possible whereby the poor would be protected against fraud.
 "I believe said MT. Russell. that those who because of their financial con- dition are forced to buy coal in small quantities are those who have suffer ed the most as result of the present embarrassing fuel situation, and I in tend that the poor shall be protected, no matter at what expenditure of time. and will ask for the limit in the way of fines for fraudulent coal dealers.
 Mir. Russell called attention to the provisions of Chapter PAS of the Pub lie Acts of 1911 whereby it is required that the weight be stamped on all bags I of coal sold in small lots, and that a weight slip issued by the sealer be de- 1 livered to the purchaser at the time or
 the delivery. This law is as follows ] "An coal sold, except in accordance | with a written agreement with the purchaser otherwise, or offered for sale
 in this state, shall be so sold or offered
 for sale by weight. No person, firm or
 corporation shall deliver any coal unless
 such delivery is accompanied by a de-
 livery ticket and duplicate thereof, on
 which shall be distinctly expressed, in l ink or other indelible substance, in
 pounds, the weight of the coal conta;7-
 ed in such vehicle or receptacle, togeth- | CT with the name of the seller and the name of the purchaser of such coal. One of such tickets shall be surrendered, up on demand, to the Sealer of weights an[ measures, for his inspection, and sucf ticket or, when the sealer desires to- re tain the original ticket weight sliT issued by the seller, shall be delivered to the purchaser, or his agent or repre- sentative at the time of the delivery ot such coal and the other ticket shall bt 1 retained by the seller. If the purchaser or his agent, takes such coal from ths place of purchase. delivery ticket showing the actual number of pound! delivered, shall be given to the purchas CT, or his agent at the time 9 delivery Any person who shall violate any provi sion of this act shall be fined not nor than two hundred dollars, or. impriE oned not more than six months, or both
