It notes perceived combines and price gaps between mine and consumer, cites a Kansas City report, and proposes a threefold plan: form a citizens committee to probe restraint of trade, publish exact coal costs to customers, and establish a municipal coal yard to sell at cost for the poor. It also reports a local insurance agency change and tuition increases at Lawrence Business College.
