PUBLICITY TO BE USED TO FIGHT COAL COSTS Federal Trade Commission to Be Empowered to Investigate Mine Accounts WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. Complete publicity of official coal cost data to be collected through the federal trade commission a a means of keeping down charges to the consumer, will be. prepared by the senate reconstruction committee as the result of its investi gations into the coal situation, it was said today by Chairman Calder. While a complete agreement as to the form of the measure has not been reached, the committee "as gone over the general subject with Federal Trade Commissioner Houston, and it is ex pected that the bill will be ready for introduction in the senate early next week. It has been decided to make the collection of the statistics mandatory upon the commission, .which would be empowered to demand the accounts from the local operators to test their accuracy and compile, the results by districts for the study of consumers. The committee's investigation was continued todaywith -Lieut. Col. J. G. Barney, army officer in charge of the war department procurement division, explaining the difficulties which con fronted the army In securing 1,800,000 tons for its supply last year. These difficulties, he said, finally caused the secretary of war to order supplies bought for current use in the open mar ket, though prices ran up to $16 a ton and a deficit of 113,000,000 in quar termaster appropriations might oe caused. The average price of coal bought Tn the markets during September and Oc tober, Col. Barney said, was a little over J7, which was less, he declared, than any other consumers paid at the time. The secretary of war had de clined against a policy pf commandeer ing, he added, because he feared it would increase the. price to the public.

DAIRYMEN'S CLAIM UNTRUE, CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS CHARGES Kiwanians Hear Additional Re ports on High Prices : Charged for I?ood " . . . ftricesjthat Jor-al dairymen are charg IngTpeople of New Hanover county for mjlkY came in for-much discussion at the -5 regular weekly meeting of the Kiwaiiis club held yesterday afternoon at vth X. M C A. The allegation made recently by certain dairymen that they had contracted for feed forK their cows until April of this year and - that this was one reason that the prices charged for milk was remaining at the present figure, was declared to be un true in a report of the matter made to the club by Kiwanian J. ST Williams, chairman of the. price, investigation committee.. . Chairman Williams", report ; as made yesterday, follows:' Y t , "We investigated the article pub lished in the "Dispatch" , in which one of the largest dairymen said "the dairymen jcontra-ct six months ahead for feed and cannot reduce the price before April 1, when a slight-.'reduction might be made." The statemtent .con cerning contracting tor feed is untrue. Milk in larger cities is sold" by the producer in country; is shipped to and then handled Jby" the distributor. )The producer and distributor .each make their legitimate . proBt and the rail roads get their reven"ue from the haul, which Varies in distance of to more than a hundred miles 'in many sections; therefore, milk pays' profits to three different interests before reaching the consumer at 17c In New York, Greens boro; lZc in Philadelphia; 17c in Wash ington "(the last reduction in Wash ington being on January 1.). Contn Xearly Double Vyhlle in Wilmington-' th'e large producers distribute direct to thir customers with no expense for trans portation and no exorbitant cost for delivering for the small sum of 25c per quart, which is 47 per cent higher than New York and .Washington, and 92 per cent higher than Philadelphia, in the "face of Larro feed declining from $S7 to $66 between June. 15 and December 31, .1920. and other feeds in proportion "One of the largest producers ha.s about 100 cows, on say 15 acres of land and raises no feedstuff. This dairyman is producing air bf, "his milk under city instead of country : condi tions. "The Greensboro Daily News,, De cember 25, has dairy advertisements asking 15c per quart for milk and 50c per quart for "cream. Cream in Wil mington is $1.20 per quart. "In most diseases of children, milk is the principal and only diet. It is then a necessity, never a . luxury, and should be in reach of all classes, at prices consistent with cost of produc tion. "We eonsider the statement made to the "Dispatch" an attempt to mislead and deceive the public. We, there fore, recommend that the city council be requested immediately to demand that tills community receive the bene fit, of the greatly reduced cost of pro duction shown by the decrease in, cost of feed and labor, failing in which drastic action should be taken' without further parley or delay. Chairman Williams also irjade the following additional report regarding the prices of foodstuffs in. Wilmington: "Friday night, December 31, at the request of the committee from various fertilizer factories employes, we met MILL WORK SASH DOORS FRAMES ETC.

You doubtless read of their action in the daily pa pers. They,, have a committee from each plant " to ascertain weekly and put on their bulletin boards the names of the merchants from.whom they can tay. to best advantage. Their .com mittee of the .whole will meet weekly. Their scales of wages have been re duced by orders from headquarters, in keeping with other plants, the re ductions, beginning with the common" labor, reduced from 50 to 30 cents per hour and on through the different de partments. The majority of them hav ing a decrease of 40 per cent in 60 days. " ; "Tuesday, January 4, we had a joint conference with the committees 1 from the -Master Builders' association, and the -Retail Merchants' association and, without;,pretending to enter into any analysis; of wholesale prices, but simply to call attention of the retail "mer chants to? the difference in wholesale prices of a!" few of the most important commodities In other cities compared with Wilmington; we gave them the following information, using same brands and grades on December 31, 1920, among which was: Flour, 12 lb. sacks, Richmond per barrel $10.45; Wilmington $12.50. - "The difference in freight on flour is about 10c per barrel, and on other articles proportionately, and does' not justify such difference in wholesale prices, and we suggested' that the Re tail Merchants association investigate this and other wholesale differences, as they seem to be general. "We also beg-, td call the public's attention to the fact that some fodd-; stuffs are selling much-lower than two wee"ks ago, as, the very, few advertise ments of retail dealers in the Wilming ton papers "show. We suggest that these advertisements be looked for and that the consumer .take advantage of any reductions quoted so that real com petition will be thus encouraged.-- We notice the Morning New Bernian is leading the fight for proper reductions, 1 A t. . A. . A f 1 jwnicn .tne mercnanis are meeting 111 jNew Bern, and their issue of January 2 is run or it. "Last week one of our daily papers carried a nation-wide "advertisement saying that prices must come down the stair, step by step, and not down the baluster, but for the last 60 to 90 days, while old man food was coming down the stair step by step elsewhere, in Wilmington he was sound asleep on the top floor, so that he must now come down the baluster to the main floor, or he will find his brothers hid ing in the cellar. "The time has come. to use an old slang expression 'to slide, Kelly slide.' " MAY PURCHASE SWEATERS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEAM Public Will: Be Asked to Con tribute to Fund Announcement was made last night that a fund would be started to pur chase sweaters for the members of the Wilmington high school football team, which came "within a game of winning the eastern Carolina championship last season. Every player on the team has been awarded "letters," but it is said that the boys have never been equipped with the football sweaters. The public has been requested to as sist in this cause, by contributing money for this. purpose, and, according to the announcement, Glen Hogan, who coached the team so successfully last year, will receive contributions at the office in the Y. M. C. A. It is believed thaVthe fine record of clean sportmanship established by the local team, makes it certain that the boys will have no trouble in riising the necessary money for the purchase of the sweaters.
