At an open meeting held in the Chamber of Commerce September 1, 1920, under the auspices of the Philadelphia Wholesale Coal Trade Association, Harlow C. Voorhees in the chair, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It is known that some of those engaged in the coal trade have, innocently or otherwise, been parties to the resale of bitumi nous coal in which a number of firms have intervened between the producer and the consumer, 'which practice involves an increase in price to the consumer, therefore be it RESOLVED, That those engaged in the wholesale coal business in Philadelphia refrain from the purchase or sale of any coal which has passed through the hands of more than one wholesaler that is to say, they shall not be a party to a transaction in which more than two firms intervene between the producer and the consumer, and that in furtherance of this sentiment in the trade, of which this resolution is an expression, it is urged that all those engaged in the trade sign a spe cific pledge to comply with the letter and the spirit of this resolution and Whereas, Deprecating the taking of any undue profits in the present abnormal situation, those representing the wholesale branch of the bituminous industry are impressed with the importance of limiting the amount of margin which may be charged by any wholesaler, there fore be it RESOLVED, That, export shipments excepted, the maximum gross margin to be charged by any wholesale firm shall not exceed 10 per cent of the invoice price at place of sale, and Whereas, It is believed that the mental perturbation of many consumers of bituminous coal is due to the failure of coal suppliers to discharge fully their contract obligations, and Whereas, It is believed that many grievances of consumers in this direction can be dissipated or satisfactorily adjusted if they are made known to the coal trade generally, and Whereas, It is further believed that a committee of coalmen constituted for the purpose of developing all the facts connected with any such grievance or difficulty of consumers can be of service both to the public and to the coal trade, therefore be it RESOLVED, That the chairman of this meeting appoint a com mittee, of which he shall be a member, on Correction of Abuses in the bituminous coal trade and that he extend an invitation to consumers and to those engaged in the wholesale trade to present in writing to this committee, through its secretary, all facts and circumstances sur rounding any such instances so that it may investigate the same and apply the proper remedy in cases where action may prove necessary or desirable, and Whereas, It is believed that much of the excessive demand for bituminous coal and the consequent panicky state of the market created thereby is due to a widely diffused duplication of orders on the part of consumers, and Whereas, It is also believed that certain consumers are taking and storing an excessively large amount of coal, therefore be it RESOLVED, That the members of the trade, consumers and the public generally be invited to inform the secretary of the com mittee appointed by the chairman of this meeting of any such cases so that they may be investigated with a view to the trade being correctly informed concerning them, to the end that the flow of coal may be directed into channels where it is most needed, thus allaying as far as possible the present exaggerated uneasiness and anxiety on the part of many consumers of bituminous coal, and be it thereby further RESOLVED, That the committee appointed is hereby authorized to employ an investigator to develop and to ascertain the facts surround ing any such cases, and the committee is hereby expressly charged to use its best offices and endeavors in the case of any consumer whose pressing requirements are communicated to it. Pursuant' to these resolutions, the following committee was appointed: Charles Jacobs H. B. Cornog Arnold Gerstell Harlow C. Voorhees G. R. Gabell Medford J. Brown Ralph Knode Crawford C.
