NEW YORK Nov. 4 A fixed price for coal as proposed by Attorney General Palmer would leave mine owners with no margin to wage the war against workers. W A Marshall president of the Wholesale Coal Trade association said the warning to operators not to profiteer was unnecessary and urged letting supply and demand run. He contended operators have no intention to profiteer and that fixed prices would hurt owners in non union mines. Marshall attacked Palmer's view on coal supply noting anthracite is abnormal and a strike could leave miners with little work for thirty days.
