FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, WELL STOCKED COAL BINS HERE ALLOW LITTLE FEAR OF STRIKE Government Has Secret Plan to Proteet Public in Case of Dire Emergency—Rise in Price Thought Only Effect of Tie-Up in Capital. Prices of coal here, which earlier in the year were relatively low, have ad- vanced to almost the same level as the peak last Winter. Prices of the most used sizes, as quoted by leading dealers in Washing- ton today, were in the following range: White ash stove, 5 to $16; to $15.25; pea, $10.75 t 0. The Federal plan for distribution of coal, which was belleved today to be in the Government files, ready to put into effect in case of emergency, was developeg in the Summer of 1923, un- der President Harding, by the United States Coal Commission. Detalls of the plan were never revealed. It was not put into effect that Fall, as the ex- pected suspension of mining did not take place. Officials of the Departments of La T § bor, Commerce and Justice have care- fully refrained from making comment as to what the Government would do in case of an emergency. Rallroads, public utilities and the Government fuel yards in Washington were all shown to be well supplied | with anthracite. Fuel for homes, according to most of the dealers interviewed this morn- ing in a survey of the local situation, has been delivered this year in larger quantities than usual. generally speaking, has more coal in it than it had at the same time . _One dealer estimated, how- hat he did not believe there was as much coal sto ay as there had been during the rike year.
