Says Ford Can Add $1.5O to
Car Price and Operate.
Hopes Plant Will Not Close Be-
cause of Fuel Price.
TRIVIAL" SAY FORD OFFICES
Won't Pay Millions to PrOfi-
teers in New Coal Cost.
Ford Makes Another State
ment That Plant VIII Close.

Washington, Aug. 29-Belief that
the railroads will handle the current
coal needs of the country this winter,
was expressed today by Secretary
Hoover. who said the test would come
within the next two weeks In the
past. Mr.. Hoover said. the best con-
tinuous performance of the roads in
handling COAL both bituminous and
anthracite, was approximately 49,
100000 tons a week while for the
upon to move 100000 tons a week.
He said that total however, could
be cut down by not attempting to
build up stocks and by confining
deliberation to current needs alone.
Only $1.5O, Hoover Says.
Present coal prices only would add
$3.50 to the price of Ford cars, Sec
retary Hoover declared today in ex-
pressing the hope that the Detroit
automobile manufacturer would not
find it necessary to close his plant be-
cause of the price of fuel.
Hoover said he noted that Mr.. Ford
considered $3.50 a ton a reasonable
price for coal and that the Detroit
manufacturer could obtain it now at
$3.50. Figuring on the basis of 3S-
600 tons Of coal used day, Mr..
Hoover estimated that even under
present prices the increase per Ford
car would only be about $50.
Won't Aid Profiteers.
(By The Associated Press)
Detroit, Aug. 29.-The statement of
Secretary Hoover that present coal
prices would add but $3.50 to the price
of Ford cars was characterized at the
Ford offices today as "a trivial and
playful statement for the head of a
government department to make in a
situation as serious as the present
one"
1T is quite IN keeping with every
thing that has been going on at Wash
ington in the present situation" 1t was
added.
Does Mr.. Hoover think we should
turn over to the profiteers from ST.
100000 to 100000 that would be
represented in the increased cost of
coal?" was asked.
The normal daily consumption of
coal by the Ford plants here ranges
from $500 to 1900 tons a day.
Hasn't Found Way Out.
Unless the Ford Motor company re-
ceives coal from an unexpected
source, it will close all its manufac-
turing departments in the Detroit dis
trict September 10. This was mad G
at Mr.. Ford's office today in answer
to a rumor in circulation in Detroit
and elsewhere to the effect a way had
been found out of the comp5ny's fuel
problems.
One source close to the manufac-
turer in discussing the report that Mr..
Ford might not find 1t necessary TO
close his plants, asserted the company
had figured ito the hour how-long
it could continue operation with the
coal supply on hand and that in sight
1t was reiterated that Mr.. Ford was
not bluffing,' and that he would re-
fuse to buy coal at exorbitant rates.
Mr.. Ford. it was reiterated. was firm
in his conviction that for him to paY
increased prices for coal at this time
would have the effect of keeping c0al
costs up at the expense of other manu-
facturers and the householders of the
country.
