Coal Contract Probes Involving Arch McFarlane
Des Moines March 27 A legislative investigating committee examined contracts between the University of Iowa and coal firms tied to Lt. Gov Arch McFarlane. Testimony by W A Chapman of the O'Hagan Coal and Arch McFarlane Fuel firms from Waterloo alleged a 19 cent per ton commission on coal sold to the university. The O'Hagan firm, formed in 1927, took over school coal contracts previously held by McFarlane. Chapman said McFarlane sold his interest in 1928 to BR L France of Chicago but remained president of the McFarlane-named company and drew salary plus half profits. Other firms named paid fees to O'Hagan for university coal.
