tween the commission. the Coal deal
ers' committee and representatives
Of the trade bodies. AS stated In

days conference from a we'll inform
ed source that Washington can only
expect about seven-twelfths of it's
normal supply of hard coal this win
ter

This makes apparent the necessity
ton to see that one consumer does
not get more than another
1t also was decided at yesterdays
conference to have the commission
ask Congress for a deficiency appro-
priation of $4,000 to defray the ex-
peHSc VI lucl COHlIOi.
While the commission will continue
as it has in the past to watch records
of coal sales to prevent eXorbitant
charges, it was learned today that
fair prices will not be announced at
present.
Prices May Vary.
It had been expected that the COM
mission would make public a fair
price of between $1O.50 and S11 ton
f0 hut
District official, the prices of this
coal at different mines Is varying to
such an extent that what would be q
fair price for one dealer would be un-
fair for another The commission,
therefore. will concentrate it's price,
regulating activity on actual sales.
AS to anthracite coal. the commits
sion will not know what the fair
price should be until that kind of fuel
begins to arrive more plentifully.
