"We had an exceptionally rough

the -churning <?>f the bulk oil we

WASHINGTON. April 17.?The dif
ferences between John Skclton Wil
lalms. representing the railroad admin
istration, and Fuel Administrator t!.*ir
tield ii licoanio known tonight were ad
justed to-day when I'rpsldcnt Wilson
at tho weekly meeting of the war cabi
net. iint|ualiflcdly nustaiiifd the posi
tion taken by l.?r. Uarlield.
Although neither of the two prin- .
eipals t-i the controversy would admit'
that their relations were strained, it
was generally understood that both
felt chagrined at being forced to m.il;"'
tacit acknowledgment that they could
not reach an agreement by compromise.
The dispute arose over the delivery
of coal. Fuel Administrator tiarlleld
las insisted that car shortage at the
mines has not been decreased and that
h*? pros rain for getting coal to the
consumer was in danger of disruption.
It has been said that the railroads were
making an effort to force the fii'l ad
inin ist ration to reduce the price of
coal t" them and that they did not hes
itate to hold up th<j movement of ears
in an i ffort to enforce their claim.
'I'h.s charge is denied by Mr. Williams,
v ho is in ciiarge'of the purchasing di
vision of the railroad administration.
I'res d^nt \\ ilson. it i< understood held
firmly to iha policy lie voiced some
time ago when lie fixed the price of
steo'. At that time lie stated that the
price of steel to the government should
1 e the price to the public. Th s policy,
it was understood, would' be followed
in all other commodity price tixins.
Although no official word came from
the White House, it is known that the
Prfesidetr. to-day refused t'> alter !?!??
policy and lield Hint the price of coal
f. tixed by I <r. Oarfleld to tlv consumer
should he pad by the railroads lor the
coal which they used.
