dependent Operators-Spens
Says Enforcement by Car
Regulation

Washington. Oct IAN agreement
which is expected to result in fixing
the maximum price Of anthracite min
ed by Independent operators at 1925
per ton at the mines, has been reached
by the Pennsylvania operators and
Fuel Distributor Spens, representing
the federal government
The agreement, announced here to.
day by w. D. B. Ainey. chairman of the
Pennsylvania fuel commission, is re-
garded by officials as assuring imme-
date reductions in the hard coal prices
now charged by independent operators
| controlling 20 Fer cent. Of the output
thus removing price discrepancy
that has been the cause Of complaint
in all consuming territories.
Chairman Ainey and Mr.. Spens with
Eugene Y. FELTON,. representing the
fair practices committee in the an
thracfte industry, reached the agree.
ment at conferences held last night
and today.
Inc largest Part Of the production
Of anthracite. an amount estimated BY
officials at 20 per cent. or more of the
total. comes from group Of large
mines which now are charging from
- to $3.50 per ton, while some of the
independent operators have been
charging up above s12 per ton. The
arrangement by which the price will
be held down to 1925 is described as
an indirect one. but it is said to be
probable that mine operators who re-
fuse to abide by the decision will have
their operations restricted by use OF
tlfk governments power to regulate
transportation.
In view of the fact that a number
of so-called individual or independent
operators have signified a willingness
TO set prices below the 1925 maximum
and also that this maximum is reduc-
ton from prices previously charged,
Chairman Ainey said, "the Pennsylya-
MIA fuel commission approved the rec
concentration. 1t is joined in this ap-
prevail by the federal fuel distributor. .
Notification will be sent to all state
fuel authorities of the action Of the
commission. with lists of operators
subscribing to prices of 1925 and IN

large part of the difficulties lead
ing TO the complaint by consumers has
been due to the impossibility Of as
ccrtaining in advance what would be
the cost of anthracite shipments.
Many eastern cities have been sup
Piled with anthracite shipments in
which the same quality of coal has
been sold for four or five different
prices. Under the new plan the diff
ference will be only about 81 per ton
whether an order is supplied from the
independent mines or from the larger
producing units in the industry.
