RETAIL COAL PRICE FIXED
President Wilson on October IT
authorlxod an Increase of forty flT®
cents a ton for coal in all bituminous
fields with two exceptions, which,
it is thought, do not apply to Okla-
homa. This increase will make run-
of-mine coal cost $3.95 a ton at ths
mine; prepared sizes, $4.75; sna
slack, $2.70.
The retailer, however, cannot
charge the additional forty-five cents
per ton on coal which he purchased
at the old price. His booko are con-
stantly open to inspection by tha
Fuel Administration.
From today the Carnegie Library
will be open for ten days at nigh
only.
