Aug. 25.—Within 1 a very short time President Wilson will formally direct the federal trade com* ] minion to proceed to regulate the : price of coal in the United States in . ac c°rdHnce with the Pomerene amend I ment to the food bill. The commission ! is ready and will at once prepare to fix I prices. j Two methods for fixing prices are ' Provided in the 1'omerene amendment, j the pooling method and the straight -out price regulation. It is generally ■ Understood that the commissiop has j enough data on costs of production.to ! enable it to put into effect at once, the latter system. I While the pooling method may be adopted in any place in the country i w here the federal commission sees fit to put it into effect, it is decidedly a complex system and would take a great deal of careful manipulation in ord€r to make it come out right for every one concerned. On the other hand, straight-out price regulation, now that the federal trade commission has the data on j which to base such regulation, is not I at all a hard proposition. The most difficult problem which the commis j sion faces is that of eliminating and I keeping eliminated fake selling •tgencies an , see how *ht P n ' e ^ 1 The trade cm^k •" ''loa 'b ' I ,,,'-, ,**4 four-flnahin- - . he will immei-" , . grumbling!.'' sU by the con,n,i "!i tu« .
