Twelve -Dollar Coal
'Editorial from the Washington Post.
Twelve ddilars a ton and upward for
bituminous coal is a crline against the
-American public. It cannot be justified
upon any other ground except the rule
of action- which governed Capt. Kidd
and the late Jesse James. It is pro-
fiteering of the most obnoxious sort,
because it takes advantage of the absol-
ute necessity of the public for fuel and
coins that necessity into dishonest &l-
iars.
The complaint which has aroused•
the indignation of the people and stirr
ed the Department of Justice to action
is to the effect that in some parts of
the country public utilities and other
industries have been unable to secure
coal except at exorbitant rates; that
these rates range from $12 to $15 a
ton; that coal companys 'report theer
inability to supply Coal upon contract
at the agreed price so that these con-
sumers are forced to buy spot coal in
the open market at robber prices. The
cupidity of the operators Is held res-
ponsible for these conditions by some,
by others it is charged to car shortage
excessive exports curtailed production
and a variety of reasons. Attorney
(lettere; Palmer has taken steps to dis-
cover the actual reason underlying it.
The operators advance. what appears
to be a good alibi. They assert ;that the
average price of bituminous coal at the
mines is $3.50 to 54 and that speculat-
ion and competitive bidding by con-
sumers who are forced to bur. at my
price are responsible for the fancy
prices quoted. The speculator they al-
lege, is the man who make? the big pro-
fit not they.
And it must be conceded that • the
report of the Federal Trade Commiss-
ion covering the bituminous coal in-
siltistry for flie month of April, bears
Out this statement. II shows from re-
turns of 812 operators reporting that
the average price of coal at tine mines
Was $3.26 a ton and the average cost of
production $2.76 giving the operator
an average gross profit of 50 cents a
ton. Out of this 50 cents must come
other charges such as selling costs
and interests in order to ae-iye et the
net profit.
All of which emplieelees th,e eaNessity
'of ascertaining accurately who is 'ties-
peFsible for the profitering in coal' and
Of putting a stop to it at once. If some
'tine is juggling the distribution of cars
so that a scarcity of coal is• created in
certain localities; or if, operators are
thus enabled to speculate at a big profit
or if any other chicanery is resortedi to
for boosting prices the Department of
Justice should lay the plotters. The
fuel situation in one phase or another
has been a disturbing element s31 dur-
ing the reconstruction period.folIoWing
the end of the War, It is high time that
it should be cleared up for good and
all, Otherwise the American people
must confess their inability, to provide
themselves with an adequate supply
of a vital necessity of lifeeof which
Nature has laid a most abundant store
at their very *ors,

ed with $36 a ton for newsprint in
1916 an increase of 261 per cent will
be an important factor which will con-
tribute to the cicising of some newspa-

print will soar to $160 and $170 a ton
before next year. Coupled with this
Mr. Imrie pointed to the mounting
cost of labor which bas already 'in.

which every newspaper must face at
the present time and Mr. Imrie declar-
ed that unless wise planning and deep

PALLID CHEEKS
MEAN ANAEMIA
Nes' Health Can be Obtained by
Enrichng the Blood Supply.
When a girl in her teens becomes
peevish listless and dull when nothing
seems to interest her and dainties do
not tempt her appetite you may be cer-
tain that she needs more good blood
than her system is provided with Be-
fore long her pallid cheeks, frefuent
headaches and breathlessness and heart
palpitation will confirm that she is an-
aemic. Many mothers as the result of
their own girlhood experience can.'pro-
minty detect the early signs of anaemia
and the wise another does not wait for
Mac trouble to develop further, but at
once gives her daughter a course, with
Dr. Williams Pink Pills,which renew
the blood supply and banish anaemia be
fore it has obtained a hold on the sys-
tem.
Out of their experience thousands of
mothers know that anaemia is the sure
road to worse ills. They know the dif-
ference that good red blood makes in
the development of womanly health.
Every headache every gasp for breaeth
that follows the slightest egertion by
the anaemic girl, every pain she suf-
feres in her back and limbs are reproach
es if you have not taken the best steps
to give your weak girl new blood and
the only sure way to do so is through
the use of Dr. Williams Pinb Pills
New rich red blood is infused into
the system by every dose of these pills.
From this new rich blood springs good
health, an increased appetite, new eller
gy high spirits and perfect womanly'
,development.i Give your daughter Dr..
Williams Pinf Pils, and taye them S•bur-
self and -note how promptly their influ
ence is felt in better health. '
