"Under the system of allowing the jobber a specific guaranteed commission,” said the statement, “it developed that it was possible for some operators to adopt the practice of establishing subsidiary companies solely tfor the purpose of selling, thereby absorbing the jobbers’ commissions. “Another practice was that of ‘swapping coal.’ Two producing companies might agree to act as jobbers for each other. Each might buy the coal of the other, and then sell at the mine price, plus the jobbers’ commission. The operator Who sold direct to the retailer was at a disadvantage because he was forced to bear the selling expense and was not permitted to collect the jobbers’ commission. “The jobber is essential to the conduct of the coal business and the fuel administration has given careful study to the best means for insuring hkn a respectable compensation for his services while at the same time eliminating fictitious commissions which were ultimately paid by the consumer.”
