Of $4,000 for salary Of q coun-
sci for the Public Utilities Com

previous occasions, Francis II.
Stephens, the Corporation Counsel

obligatory duties.
Stephens to Get Assistant

augmented by an additional lawyers
for whom provision has been made
in the appropriations bill as an
assistant to Stephens.

needs and that as this appropria-
ton now had been reduced to $4,000,

TO have the sum replaced at the
original figure.
Expenses arising, which the com
mission must defray, include pay.

Coal legislation for Washington
is being discussed BY members Of
the Senate District Committee.
No focus Of sentiment % to the
kind Of law required to control the
situation has been reached, but
there are two specific proposals
under consideration.
u. 3. Sales At Cost Urged.
The first ID the resolution Of
Senator Howell. Of Nebraska, which
would require the Government fuel
yard to supply coal at cost 20
civilian consumers in Washington
whenever an emergency arises.
The second Ia an off-shoot sOf the
Federal Coal Commissions report.
and would require that the exact
kind Of coal supplied to the con-
sumner be itemized in each bill pre-
sented to him.
In this way, the substitution Of
low volatile for high volatile coal
and OF inferior grades could be
traced.
These proposals are in anticipa-
tween the Senate District Commit
tee and the local retail coal dealers,
who have declined to submit the
kind OF data to the committee which
would enable 1t to check up profits
and prices.
Quiz To Continue
There is no question In my mind
that the committee should go ahead.
said Senator King, ranking minor
ity member, today.
1--WE will have to subpoena the
books Of the coal dealers IL they
won't submit them voluntarily.
THE fact that the coal emer-
gency has passed should not in
fluence our course. We started
out to ASCERTAIN whether there had
been profiteering among the local
retail coal dealers, and we ought
to go through with it,
1T do not think we can fail to
&c the desired Information II we
show that we are determined to
get it."
Senator Capper, chairman Of the
District Committee, reiterated his
previous statements today that tho
committee should "call the bluff
Of the dealers in connection with
the bookkeeping information desired
by it.
It Is not probable the committee
will take action in advance Of the
hearing set for March %, but, in
the meantime, expert advice will be
asked to ascertain whether an audit
should be continued under the con-
ditions imposed by the retailers.
