COAL PRICE QUIZ
IS RENEWED

The Senate District Committee
meets this, afternoon to renew its
feud with the local coal dealers.
After months Of delay, the COM

their books and accounts.

which the Senate District Commit

work was the following:

had been making exorbitant profits

failed to give the committee an ade.

men whatever information they
deemed necessary to ascertain the
facts desired by the committed
With two exceptions, however,
the local dealers have fatty re-.
fused to give Smith the information
he requested. Six Of them ignored
the request.
These developments came nearly
two months ago, and since then the
committee has taken no action. The
time is approaching, however, when
it is proposed to draw up a report
and submit 1t to the Senate, and
the meeting today is chiefly to de.
