Pleis for a revision. of the Oovernment

over the cot of coal at the mines, plus the
cost of freight, have been made by coal
retailers.
'Ten per cent nn coit would, In my opin
ion, be a fair profit, nnd most of the deal
ers would be Fatlsled with fifty cents cm a
ton." said John i: I-lovd, president of tho
Coal Hxchangc, after a meeting In the Wide
ncr Hulldlng "And the way to fit tho
price to the consumer," he continued, "Is
to base It on 1317 wholesale cost, plus ex
penses nnd a fair profit, to bo determined
by the (icvernmciit "
That a recommendation for tho removal
of the seventy-llvc-cent differential charge
at the mines b the Independent dealer? may
b mado by him in tho near future, Is ad
mitted by Mr Lewis This would make
a uniform price list and wipe out much of
the friction of the preterit situation I.Ittlo

"Mako every plcco cf coal In America do
Its bit." rir Harry A riarflold, fuel ad
ministrator, today thus charged some twen
ty or more State fuel administrators when
he met them here for a conference.
Untiring efforts must be used to the end
that every bit of nvallablo coal In tho
I'nlted States shall bo In use. Doctor Gar
field said There must be no huge piles
of conl, held by nny person or corporation,
while others arc lacking In fuel He coun
seled drastic action against nny person
found to be In possess'on of moro conl than
mmedlnto needs demanded.

I'nctor Garfield has held with the fuel ad
ministrators from tho various States Manv
of the men he met today have bicn but
recently nppolnted nittl have not had an
opportunity to learn of the plans nnd
policies of the fuel administration.
Local dlstrlbuton of coal was one of
the chief questions discussed Doctor Gar
field told the State administrators that
great care must be taken In requisitioning
coil He declared that America's coal
supply Mill bo short unless thcro Is the
stilctest conservation and that Stnte ad
ministrators must investigate every re
quest for coal thoroughly before they
forward It to the Federal Government
All persinal considerations must be set
aside nnd there must be ipi locality pride
displayed, Doctor Garfield declared Hverj
man. woman and child In the nation must
work ns a unit In order that there m.iv bo
a stifllelenov of coal for tho I'nlted States
and Its Allies
Distribution of cars for con) purposes
was discussed Doctor Gnrlicld told the
State administrators that within a few
days ho would secure an order from the
Interstate Commerce Commission prohibit
ing tho use cf conl enrs for any purpose
other than tho transportation of coal Ho
also explained tentatively plans which the
Interstate Commerce Commission has for
tiro remedy of tho car. shortage He an
nounced that, within n short time, there
will be n traffic expert nttnehed to the fuel
administration for the purpose of aiding
Stato fuel administrators In the movement
of coal.
fitato administrators, who nlready have
organized, vvero called upon to explain tho
methods pursued nnd tho modus operandi
of the local committees An effcrt Is to i
bo mado to standardize organization as far
ai possible.
Reports on retail prices were made by I
most of the Ftato administrators. There i
was general discussion on the operation cf
tho order Issued for limiting tho profits of
retail dealers It Is possible that, ns n re- i
suit of some of the reports today, drastic
action .may no iukuii ukuuibi ucn-'in in
certain localities
The conference will last during the entire
day Various members of the fuel admin
istration wilt nddress tho meeting.
