D. c. COAL MEN ASK
F0RFEDERAL TRADE
Reported to Have Offered to
Sell at Lower Price Than
Fuel Yard Charges.

Washington retail coal dealers,
represented by ]. Maury Dove, tr
president of the Coal Merchants
Board of Trade, and by officials Of the
National Retail Coal Association, pre-
sented to Secretary of the Interior
Work today a proposal to take over
the entire government coal business
in Washington. Secretary Work took
the proposal under advisement, and
prior to familiarlZing himself with
the details of the proposition. asked
of their proposal,
Dealers here. backed by the Ma
tional Retail Association, seek abol-
ishment of the government fuel yard,
which handles all coal for the gov
ernment departments, independent
establishments and divisions and
branches of the District government
The proposal submitted today to Sec
retary Work is reply to a letter
written to the local dealers about the
middle of last September in which
the Interior Department head asked
the basis on which coal would be
sold 70 the government departments
were the fuel yard abolished.
Lower Price Promised.
Attending the conference today
were Roderick Stephens and Joseph
L. O'TooIe, representing the National
Retail Coal Association; j. Maury
Dove, jr., of the Coal Merchants
Board of Trade of Washington; Sec
retary Work. Assistant Secretary E.
c. Ffnney,l the solicitor for the In
terror Department and DR.. H. Foster
Balm, director of the bureau of mines,
under whose supervision the govern
ment fuel yard is operated.
The dealers, it was understood, gave
DR.. Work a proposal TO bond them
selves to sell coal TO the government
bureaus at price lower than it could
be sold by the government fuel yard.
They went into conference with DR..
Work shortly after s o'clock. long
before most of the government en-
ployes were at work.
Coal merchants Of Washington. the
proposal is understood to have point
ed out, would be willing to take a
small loss or break even on the
government business over a period of
years if the fuel yard were abolish
ed and the coal purchases of the de-
partments in Washington thrown
open to competitive bidding by the
retail dealers. approximately 100000
tons of coal year would then be
sold to the government by the local
dealers and the big government coal
plant at South Capitol and / stree Is
would be abolished
a forecast of the possibility of clos
ing the fuel yard was given last sum
mer by Secretary Work when the case
was reopened by the local dealers
after several attempts had been made
by them to have the fuel yard abol-
ished. DIR. Work at that time ex-
pressed himself in favor either of
aholishing the yard or of throwing its
coal purchasing facilities open to all
government employees. At the same
time he declared his general policy
to be to keep the government out of

BERLIN OVERTURE
ONNEW RUHR DEAL
FINDS PARIS READY
Poincare Willing to Hear
German Envoy-Meeting
Set for Tomorrow.
FRENCH PRESS SUSPECTS
MOTIVES OF MARX MOVE
Fine Distinction Drawn Between
Reparations and 0ccu-
patton Phases.
By the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press
PARIS, December Little recent
announcements from Berlin that Ger
many intended TO seek direct diplo-
snatIc contact with France over the
status of the Ruhr and the Rhineland
was followed today by u request from
Herr Won Hoesch, the German charge
here, that Premier Poincare receive
him. 1t was announced this after
noon that NJ Poincare would sec the
German representative tomorrow.
The appointment made by Herr Won
Foesch is supposedly with view 10
opening negotiations regarding ques-
tions involved in the occupation or
the Ruhr and the separatist move
rnent in the Rhineland and their in
f7uence upon a reparation settlement.
The French premier is ready 10
discuss these questions with the Ber-
lin government now that passive re
sistance to the allies occupation OF
the Ruhr is regarded at an end, 1t is
indicated. The French government,
however, will in the eventual nego-
tiations insist that sharp dlstinc-
tion be made between Germany
reparation obligations and questions
relating to the occupation. This dis
tinction is drawn. it is explained be-
cause the reparatton question Is IN
the jurisdiction of the reparatlon
commission, while the relations pc
tween France and Germany as re-
suit of the occupation are regarded
as proper subjects for discussion be-
tween the two countries.
Wont Discuss Ruhr Rule.
NJ. Poincare. it is understood, Will
decline to discuss the future regime
of the Rhineland. He considers 1t
a purely German question which the
Germans must settle for themselves
He will assure the German charge
that France had nothing to do with
the separatist movement and hence
has no reason to consider any con-
sequences that may result from fts
II it is the idea OF the German
chancellor in referring to the Rhine
70 bring up the question of security
for France the discussion Of that
question will be welcomed, it was
said by a high official of the foreign
Office this morning. The occupation
of the Rhineland. from the french
point of view, is tied up with the
question of security. while the oc-
cupation of the Ruhr relates only to
the payment of reparations.
Premier Poincare will insist upon
the distinction thus outlined being
observed in the negotiations aid If
the Germans agree to this it is
thought in French quarters that the
new direct contact between the Two
governments may be fruitful.
Press Is Suspicious.
Germanys announcement that she
wishes to talk directly with France
arouses more suspicion than hope.
On the whole, opinion is inclined to
see the German move, when it is TAX
en- in conjunction with Chancellor
Marx intimation that Germany will
appeal to the league of nations to
straighten out her finances. as the open
ing of a new diplomatic offensive
against France.
