DO YOUR XMAS COALING EARLY: 249 DAYS LEFT Buy Now or Shiver Later Is the Warning of Experts on Fuel.

By HENRY M. HYDE, In Chicago Tribune. . Coal consumers of all classes will be well advised to buy their entire supply of fuel for the coming year as soon as possible. Neither can they afford to be particular about the kind of coal they buy. Anthracite, semi-smokeless from southern Illinois, or even soft coal from the central and northern part of the state any of them will burn much better than nothing. When zero weather comes next winter a coal bin full of even smoky and sooty eoft coal is likely to be a most desirable possession. In the opinion of .men who may not be quoted, but who should be in a position to know, and whose advice is unprejudiced, there Is almost certain to be a larger demand for fuel during the next twelve months than the mines of the country will be able to supply. As to price, the consumer is advised to pay whatever the dealer 'asks, within reason. He may be sure that in the long run he will be protected against extortion. It is and will remain Impossible to fix a flat retail price for Chicago and the surrounding territory. Mine Prices Vary. The fuel administration has already fixed mine mouth prices. These prices vary with each of the coal producing districts Into which the state has been divided. In case the coal is carefully picked or sorted at the mine a further addition of 20 cents a ton is allowed. To this price must be added the freight charge, which varie3 with the distance of the mine from Chicago. If the coal is handled by a jobber he is allowed a charge of 30 cents a ton. Retail prices have been fixed in different parts of the city and suburbs on the basis of calculating the cost of doing

business, plus a profit of not mora

than 35 cents a ton. ' Therefore retail prices will vary 'bomewhat with each variety of coal and with the locality in which it Is sold. , Any consumer buying coal at a price which he thinks extortionate is advised to keep the receipted bill. It is probable that an adjusting bureau will be established in the office of Cook County Fuel Administrator Durham, which will undertake to check such bills and to see that no overcharges are permitted. I No Pocahontas'Supply. ' As has .been announced, there will be no supply whatever of Pocohontas smokeless coal in the Chicago market this year. Consumers who have hitherto used smokeless coal have been advised to buy coal from the southern Illinois fields instead. So many have followed this advice that the southern mines are now oversold, having orders on hand which will consume the production for the next fiv j or six weeks. A By the action of President Wilson, taken yesterday, In ordering the railroads to pay the same price for their coal as other consumers, it is hoped the production of soft coal, which has fallen off to an alarming extent, will be now speeded up. "' : Official figures show that the bituminous mines of the country during March produced less than 70 per cent of their full mine capacity. For April the figures are not yet available, but they will show a still greater reduction. Ccal mine operators blame this great loss in coal mined directly on the railroads. The official statement shows that nowhere east of the Mississippi river did the railroads deliver to the coal mines more than 70 to 80 'per cent, of the empty, coal cars needed for loading. Meanwhile the national railroad administration was attempting to force the coal operators to sell coal to the railroads at a lower price than had been fixed by the fuel administration. Many Mines Closed. It is evensugfeested ha.t the failure 'to deliver a sufficient supply of coal cars may have had some connection with this attempt. At any rate, the railroads have bought only coal enough for Immediate use during the last few weeks. The result is that many Important mines and groups of mines have becu altogether shut ,.down. .Meanwhile also Dr. Garfield, fuel administrator, and John Skelton VU'liams, director of purchases under

'Director General of Railroads McAdoo, j fcave been quarreling over the price.J

'The row reacnea a climax at me White House on Wednesday and was followed yesterday by the announcement that President Wilson had de"cided in favor of Dr. Garfield. 1 ' Most of the railroads have been planning to buy and store vast quantitles of ccal as soon as they could

force down the price. Now that the president has ruled on the subject they may be expected to come actively in the market. It is expected, too, that there will be an Immediate increase in the supply of coal cars sent to the mines to be loaded: Heavy Storage Planned. Many of the large Chicago railroads plan to store upward of 500.000 tons

of coal each. That will make a de-1

mand which will doubtless largely increase the production. It will also probably, for the time at least, cut down the amount which will be available for other consumers. ' That is an additional reason why everybody who will need coal during the next year is advised to buy it, or place his order for it, at once. Nor should be quibble about the kind of coal or the price he is asked to pay.
