AFTER UNSCRUPULOUS RETAIL COAL DEALERS Middlemen to Be Abolished and Only Dealers Who Have Offered Coal at Pair Prices to Be Retained. By Kxclu-ilve Wire from The Associated Press. New York, Oct. 28. The Commercial Advertiser this evening says: By their absolute disregard of the public necessities in arbitrarily estab lishing exorbitant prices for coal, the retail dealers of this city have aroused general dissatisfaction which has made itself felt. Preparations are under way by the leading coal operators in tho an thracite region to establish eight gen eral retail selling agencies in this city, with sub-agencies In every quaitcr of the city, including Brooklyn and the territory above the Harlem. The originator of the plan doing away with the retailer and saving the public one profit, is Thomas II.

Dealers, who Ihiough the coal famine have shown an Inclination to deal hon estly with the consume! s and who have not advanced prices beyond reason, will be retained a distributing agents by the coal operators, a percentage on sales being allowed tlieni as remuner ation. The unsciuptilous dealers, who have used the strike as a means by which to obtain exorbitant profits, however, will be forced out of business. J The number of distributing places for coal will be reduced to eighty or a hun dred. Xo large expenditure will be made for yards, as most of the coal under the new plan is to be unloaded from the coal barges directly Into carts.

It was learned on the highest authority, however, that the plan is not only adopted but that preparations for putting it Into nfeet are being made. The otllclal retail price continues at SO a tun.

LARGEST MEETINGS OP THE IOWA CAMPAIGN Senator Allison and Secretary Shaw Are the Principal Speakers The Question of Trusts Reviewed. By Exclusive Wire from 'I he Associated Press. Marshalltown, Iowa, Oct. 2S. The largest meetings of the Iowa campaign were held here this afternoon und even ing. Senator Allison delivered the prlncipal address In the afternoon and Secretary Shaw also spoke briefly, cov ering his views of the tariff revision and the "Iowa idea." Secretary Shaw was the principal speaker tonight. His address, In part, was as follows: The campaign in Iowa lias assumed, It seems to mo, more than merited notoriety. 1 confess o see nothing lu the Iowa plat form which justified the controversy. The tarilt planlc In our statu platform is not a declaration In favor of tariff revision, nor Is It a declaration iiiruinst tariff revision. If the state convention of Iowa should declare specifically for tarilt revision, or for any specific remedy for trusts, l doubt not tne Iowa delegation would be very prompt 'to heed, and certainly thu Iowa members of the cabinet will bring the subject to the careful attention of the president. This has not beon done as yet, and therefore, neither tariff levisicn nor nnti-tarlfC revision is a party nieiis iii e hi this slate. Whether cougreis would give heed to an utterance ol a Mate convention in an ofL' year, on na tional questions calculated to qualify or enlarge the declarations contained in the national platform, 1 am not prepared lo say, though I remember that even the members at tho Iowa delegation did not consider themselves bound by the antl Portu Rlciiu memorial passed In 1900 by tho lower house of our general assembly. flow soon we may pass a substitute for the Dlngley tuilff law, 1 am nut prepared to predict. The responsibility Is with the conguss. I anticipate some op position will be engendered anions: Re publicans and Democrats alike If attempt shall be made to remove the tariff, from such .articles as are produced by large corporations, popularly called trusts. Tho idea is not novul. We can stand high prices far better than we can stand Idly labor. Hefnre tho remedy can be applied, It will become necessary to deteinilue the fact whether a trust exists or not, und If it exists, and that fact can be estab lished, the Sherman law Is quite sufficient to correct tho evil. Certainly no one will wish to apply the Rruokenridge Idea of a removal of the tariff ya tiust made goods to an industry upon a naked rumor that it Is contiolled by a monopoly, but it will take no inoro evidence to tluotllo It un der thu Sherman act Hum It will to lay thu Information for the foundation of the Hreckemidao idea.
