SUGGESTS RAISING FUND TO PROBE COAL GOUGERS Rivcrton Water Company Official Believes Public Should Follow Revelations Made by Colonel McCain Establishment of a prfaate fund to lay bore all the fact" bearing on the present high cost ot coal so that the profiteers In the coal Invlnutry may be smoked out, was advocated today by R.

He suggested tDat coal users could con tribute In nronortlon to tho amount of coal they use. Mr, Knight said he was sure that hundreds of other business men be lieved like him that "there Is some thing seriously wrong somewhere" In toe present situation A nwcepirw; Investigation, he be- Ilevos, would rompel nctlon on the part of Attorney Central Palmer's office, no that coal prices might be put on a rcasonablo basis. Mr. Knight commended tho scries of articles on the coat situation bv Colonel George Nox McCain in the KvKirmo Punuo LEBOKn. "Colonel McCain Is evidently getting at the root of the matter." he said. "I would like to suggest a fund for the employment of investigators and coun sel so that all the facts may be re vealed.

"There may bo here and there In dividual Instances," ho continued, "where, owlne to local conditions. whero the mine hsd been operated on a very narrow margin of profit, In which tlic $l-n-ton nilvnnce might not bo un reasonable. Hut such u condition would have to bo developed by Investigation." Duto of Probo Not Sot Attorney (ienrr.-il Palmer did not Bay when the Drn.irtinont of Justlcn would jglvu its nttontlon to tlin profiteering operators. Not at least till thn present excitement ami uncertainty in the region ttHHtieti. The whole anthracite situation is in Hi etute of flux It will be wehs before conditions are straiehteiicd out. When Mhat time conies Mr. Pu liner will have tliu matter mndo the stiPJect of federal luvestlgutloQ. Action by the attorncv general in the bituminous foul trade, to which lie referred as a criterion for action in ilia unlhrucltn trude, was undertaken lato In July ami Aucust. A condition almost amounting to puuic existed in tho bituminous buslneis. There was reckless pyrnmlding of pi Ices and profits. Wholesalers were making all sorts of money. An investigation was Instituted by the Department ot Justice, iu which thn findings tallied with tho facts as stated above. Theroupon the attornoy general issued instructions to all United Stntm district attorneys to carefully scrutinize all bituminous coal trade transaction with a vlow to nrosecu tlons In fiilerul courts under the Lev or act. Sees Trouble Ahead- I inn of the opinion that General Palmer will expcricnca n. vast Amount of difficulty In forcing the anthracite operators to give up tho vast sums falten from tlin people. If lie can get "(Jin dead wood" on one or two the rest will bo easy. The moral effect of ono rigor ous prosecution would be mighty ef fective. It would seem thnt a simplo statement of what one company paid out as back mi tn lis miners would be conclusive evidence that the remainder in Its bonds belonged to the people from whom it wn rnki-n. It would then be Hlmply n case of restitution instead of a prose cution. Anvhow there nre not, T believe, enough conditions unalygous to the an thracite trade in tbo bituminous sit uation, which General Palmer cleared up, to give a working basis. The bitu minous operators asked tho Department of Justice to investigate their trado or rnrtnln nf tu IllCinDCrg. U.110 UCDOri- meiit of Justice would wait till the crack of doom befoio the anthracite operators would osk to be Investigated. All their efforts for years have been to dodge investigations, avoid htatc- menhj as to profits, resales and methods of bookkeeping. They aro artful dodg era all right. Here are two of the Items of the pro' gram adopted by the bituminous men to aid the attorney general to purge that Industry of crooked dealers and prof ltecrs: First. That atl members of the whole sale bituminous coal'trado "hall be re quested and urged to sign a pledge not to take part in the purchase or sale of bituminoun coal whero the same has passed through tho hands of more than one other wholesale house. (In this con nection a sales agency of an operating company is regarded ss a wholesaler.) Second. It la recommended to the members of tbo wholesale coal trade thnt the gross maximum margin of profit be 10 per cont on the invoice price at the place of sale. Third. The committee constitutes Itself n grievance committee and Invites the public and members of the trade to present to it facts concerning tho abiiscB, which it will Investigate fully nnd use every measure within Its powcf to correct. Is Frankly Skeptical Can any person Imagine tho anthracite coal tradn membership as at present constituted, and Judged simply by their pnst, pledging itself to such a program? It would be almo'st taniible evidence that the millennium was ready to break, or flic golden ngo has come bock again. It Is for these reason' that I am fninkh skeptical of Mr. Palmer's plan. It "111 take too much time to inesti gutc books, bring in witnesses, examine) cults sheets. It would be more effective to get the statistics iu the ense oh far us possible, then notify the operators that probecutlons would follow unless there was a return ot the money, and the money would be forthcoming. Ohioan Says G. 0. P. Has Paid Collectors Continued from Pace One against local cotamlmttees and then said: "lint these local organizations were largely 'scenery.'
