Everybody present agreed that the
future, coal and fuel oil question Is
l very important and serious ono
rhe general opinion expressed, was
to the effect that the matter should
je carefully looked into, before any
iction is taken which might be re
gretted later on. A copy of a tele
gram, recently received, was read
stating that the present price ot
soft coal (per short ton) is selling,
n bulk on the dock at Seattle., for
18.50, and for $8.00 on the dock
it Ladysmith, B. C. Nanimo coal
aot available at present. Some of
:hc speakers were in favor of the
(Jape Lisbourne coal. One of the
?ommitteemen stated he had been
turning Lisbourne coal all wiiiter,
ind found it as good if not better
han the coal which is being sold

ransporting of coal from the North

rom the llatanuska coal fields.
\nother speaker mentioned that he
tad been informed that a large
re'ghter was coming here next stun
ner, to take away the remains of
he Solomon River Railroad, and
navbe arrangements could be made
or said freighter to bring a cargo
>f coal here at the same time.
(The speaker did not say whether
lie vesel was coming from Japan
>r elsewhere).
The majority of those present at
ast night’s meeting seemed to be in
avor of appealing to the government

;ordcd in Vol. 53, page 197 oi

in this section of the country, in
regards to -the fuel question. -After
'the coal ahddflq’uestion had been
thoroughly discussed from various
angles, fn regards to the first price
sacking, freight, lighterage, etc.ete.
a motion was' made that a sub-com
mittee consisting of, one member
representing each organization, be
appointed to secure all available
data pertaining to the coal and fuel
oil question. The aforesaid motion
was unanimously carried. Another
motion was made that the sub-com
mittee be give& full power to for
ward by telegram, said information,
and also appeal for assistance to
Mr. J. A. Garfield, the Federal Fuel
Administrator. An amendment was
offered that a similar telegram be
sent to either Delegate Sulzeir or
James Wiekersham. Several were
upon their feet at once and express
ed themselves that it was better to
keep politics separate from the coal
question, others said the only way
to do so was to keep the politicians
away from it. The amendment was
unanimously voted down (with the
exception of one vote).
'The Sub-committee were instruct
ed to issue a call for a joint meeting
of all committees, when they re
