ORDERS RAISED COAL PRICE A. ). Gantheim Testifies at Senate Inquiry—Wentz Denies Big Profits. Interstate Commerce priority orders issued during the coal shortage last year may have helped to increase prices, A. J. Gautheim, of the American Railway Association, testified today before a Senate coal investigating committee. He said the association had protested against the gders which were prepared by the Rational Coal Association, under cus- toms of practice allowed by the com- mission. > Col. D. B. Wentz, president of the National Coal Association, was que: tioned as to War Department coal purchases. He testified to owning iarge interests in several coal compa- nies. Corrects Former Testimony. Mr. Wentz in a statement correcting testimony given by him at a former Learing said he had purchaed 72,579 tons of coal for the War Department, not 150,000. “Under our authority, we could have bought 275,000 tons for the depart- ment and secured a commission of $137,000," he said. “In fact. shipped ‘any, except when pres delivery, knowing that the market was faliing and that the coal could be obtained cheaper by delay. Ac- tually, the Wentz company received $36,000 in commissions, and waived $101,000 which could have been se- cured by it if it had tgken full ad- Vi ge of ts contracts.” ‘an you tell us why the coal com- panies early in the year refused to contract for the War Department's supply?’ Senator Kdge, republican, New Jersey, asked. “Yes, this committe government large s to the coal-buying Wentz said. “The gove tracts are not commercial in forn Then the War Department does n buy until July, though the coal vear ends April 1, and most of the responsi- ble producers have contracted by that can save the by attending tuation,” Mr. | date to sell the next year's output.” Conclusions Are Challenged. Mr. Wentz discussed the Interstate Commerce Commission car gervice orders, denying that they allowed mines to break contracts to furnish coal. “The orders merely allowed oper- ators to postpone deliveries in part and make up the difference later.” The committee challenged the con- clusibn, Senator Calder declaring that consumers of coal deprived of deliy- eries under the orders were “forced to £o into the spot market and buy their supplies at any price.” WILL LECTURE ON ERIN.
