A Real Job for the Federal
Trade Commission
Fixing Prices of Coal in This City Is Serious

Right in Washington under the OF the Federal Trade
Commission the Department of Justice and the United States
Attorney of the District there unrestraned price fixing Of
coal that Washington people must buy.
It is not new thing either 1t is admitted to have been
practiced in past years
Just how extensive this price fixing may be be de-
termned by investigation by United States officials hear
ings by the Federal Trade Commission.
There is doubt that the practice is widespread
there is understanding between wholesale
coal dealers and the of coal mines in Pennsylvania
and other fields
Notices of at least wholesale firm here to retail dealers
purchasing from them definitely fix prices which the Diff
grades of anthracite coal must be sold and then tell
the dealers that they sell below those prices they will NOT
GET ANY MORE COAL.
The Supreme Court has decided that any manufacturer dis
rbuter may do this and get away with it,
though the real motive is prevention Of price cutting
The highest court however, has decided that there IS
understanding cooperation colluson among the dsrbu
any field maintain retail prices IT is VIOLATION
Of existing laws.
The laws against restraint of trade apply to the District of
Columbia well the nation Our people entitled
protection from illegal trade combinations We want the
truth here and cannot get unless duly constituted Fed
agencies make their business find out the truth
What taking place here is doubtless taking place in all
parts of the country silly for Federal officials
body to believe that practically the retail coal prices
maintained solely by retail dealers every year. These
dealers get their orders what do and they must obey be
put out Of business.
No single wholesale firm, coal mine owner can do
this There unquestionaby combination and cooperation
That is outright violation Of law.

Our First Engineer
President

FreS1QenG
Editor, Times:
In your edition of April z,
under the heading Times
Test" your question No. was,
as follows:
- was the first engineer
President"
In the answers to the ques-
tions under the heading you
give the answer to the first
question as Herbert Hoover.
It seems to me this is in
correct. With all due respect
to our President, Mr.. Hoover,
for whom I have the greatest
admiration, I call your atten-
ton to the fact that George
Washington was the first
engineer President.
1t seems hardly necessary to
give reasons for so designating
our first President. One in
stance alone will prove he was
an engineer. During one Of
his visits to the neighborhood
of the Dismal Swamp he ex-
amined that marsh land and
formed the opinion that a large
portion of it might be re-
claimed by building a suitable
canal for drainage purposes.
He made the survey for such
drainage work as he concluded
to be necessary, drew the plans
for the canal and it's laterals
and further superintendent the
building of the drainage facili-
ties.
The result was the reclaim
ing of a very large tract Of
what afterwards proved to be
very valuable land. Jointly
with others he had title to
that reclaimed land and pos
sessed that title at the time

Parking Space And
Cab Stands

S"N pSVGb44Ap
Editor, The Times:
There's been a lot of bowling
back and forth about the park
ing situation, and though it's
not right to kick a dog when
he is down, one can't help but
add his voice to that of the
majority, which, as usual, is
right.
Of course the authorities are
playing right into the hands
of the traction companies when
they put so many restrictions
on downtown parking.
It seems as though the in
dividual motorist is left out in
the cold, to either do as the
"big boys" wish, or else.
Another hardship has been
placed upon the man who has
the audacity to drive his own
machine. He is forced to keep
out Of certain restricted zones
which have been reserved ex-
cluSively for taxicabs.
To enter, means a pink park
ing ticket. This in itself is
bad enough. TaxicabS, how
ever, despite their private
stands, will, when the driver
feels so inclined, park in places
which are not marked off for
them. How many cabs do you
see getting pink slips? None.
Either enforce the law so the
cabs will be kept out of the
few available places or else be
totally deaf to the rules and let
the motorists park at the cab
stands if they get there first,
but be consistent.
