SOUND COAL | MONOPOLY ATTEMPTED Intended Big Grab Here Frustrated, Say City Dealers Alleged attempts of the Pacific Coast Coal company to monopolize the retail coal trade in Sound cities have fallen thru, according to inde pendent coal dealers here Saturday The Pacifto coast company denies any effort was made to tle up re taflers In Smttle and Tacoma to ex elusive agreements that would bind them to buy and sell coal produced by the Pacific coast company. Reports here, however, are that an attempt had been made to tne up dozens of the smaller retall dealers, but that the agreements fell fat Ddecause the larger concern couldn't deliver the needed coal. Some of the small dealers refused to sign provi sions of the agreement which they thought were tho restrictive. FIFTEEN DEALERS JOIN IN RING More than 15 large retailers have deen signed up tp date to handle the Pacific Coast Cqal company's prod. uct exclusively. One of the Independent dealers, F. A. Leonard, with offices in the New York block, charged that the big Se attle concern wag trying to mislead the public as to the price of coal this winter, “When they say that the price of coal is going to be reduced from $1.50 to $3 a ton, they are deliber- ately attempting t© fool the public,” he asserted. “Coal is not going to be reduced. It wilh go up. There is going to be a bad scarcity of coal this winter.” the Pacific Coast company wauld jump up its Price so soon as the cold spell broke in Seattle, He declared that reports from all parts of the country indi- cated that there would not be suf: ficient coal to go anound. FEW WHOLESALERS SAID TO CONTROL “Washington does not produce one-half the commenvial coal that she uses,” he pointed out. “We have *o import coal from British Columbia, Utah and even from Australia.” Leonard charged that the coal sup- ply in Seattle was practically con- trolled by a few large wholesalers. Ho ridiculed the idea that the Pa- cific Coast company’s mines would | ine be producing in large quantities within the next month. ‘The Pacific Coast company is one THE SEATTLE STAR Vamps Go; Snugglers Enter New Type of Girl Arrives ‘es Marillyn Miller, who is Flo Ziegfeld’s idea of the 1922 model snuggler.
