HARD COAL PRICES
| TO CONTINUE HIGH
John Hays Hammond Recon-
mends Education of Public
In Use of Bituminous.
BY the Associated Press.


BOSTON, September 1.-THE pre-.
diction that the price of anthracite
coal will remain high for a consider
able time was made today by John
Hays Hammond. chairman of the New
England fuel committee, at a meeting
here Yesterday to discuss the fuel
situation. Education Of the public in
the use of bituminous coal was the
remedy proposed by Mr.. Hammond.
The committee, consisting of repre-
sentatives Of the six New England
States and meeting for the second
time at the call of Gov. Fuller of
Massachusetts. voted 10 act in an ad-
visory capacity to State fuel admins
traitors and to governors in those
States where no fuel administrators
had been appointed.
In recommending the use of low
volatile bituminous coal as fuel in
New England, Mr.. Hammond said
that the burning of oil would not solve
the problem, as oil was high priced
and luxury fuel" He said the use
of bituminous would mean saving
of $40 900 900 in New England on fuel.
1t was decided to demonstrate
proper methods of combustion and use
of bitumlnous at fairs TO be held in
Topsfield Northampton and Spring
field. Dealers also win be instructed
In the uses OF soft coal and means Of
distinguishing qualities.
