Washington, Sept 23.-The major re-
sponsibility for the price at which coal
is sold to consumer by the wholesalers
or retailers within the states must rest
with the state authorities, Federal
Fuel Distributor Spens declared Sat
urday night in a telegram to the gov
ernors of the various states.
The federal government, he inform ed
the governors, can exert its influence
on distribution and restrain extortlon
officially so far as concerns coal that
may be transported from one state to
another.
1T has," he said, mo jurisdiction
us to coal produced and sold within
the state of its production; retail OF
wholesale margins or handling Goa,
within these states. Responsibility as
to these features must rest with the
state authorities and if profiteering In
coal can be prevented except as to coal
that may be moved across state lines
at extortionate prices, the proper rem
edy must be applied by the state au-
thorities."
Upon the federal authorities, he ex-
plained. falls the duty of determining
in which part of the country there is 3
shortage of coal where coal produced
is to be distributed, the prices usually
charged for such coal, and whether
current prices, considering the cost of
production and distribution. are just
and reasonable, and that consumers
should receive priority in transporta-
ton.
1t appears necessary, he asserted
that state organizations be created
where they do not now exist, which
will invite cooperation in meeting the
emergency and will fix reasonable mar
gins for retailers and wholesalers.
The federal organization, Mr.. Spens
announced, is to have the aid of two
special advisory committees named
from the general business and trans
portation interests of the country.
