Prevail int; retail prices of anlhrncilo coal me unwarranted unil the mnily fur next sciiKim is ndccpintc, federal trade commission staled today in a preliminary report bused on a partly completed investigation ordered liy eontrress last winter. The eoinniis- moii warns consumers against liuvinir larirer quantities of eoal than usual this summer, xayini? there are xymp toiiiH now of such a' buying punie as that which enabled speculators last winter to force prices above normal. No Rood reason exists, says the re port, why Slay prices should not be subject to the usual summer discount. 'J'he commission is keeping in close touch with the anthracite siliiutinu and promises to expose "any unscru pulous wholesaler, jobber or retailer who seeks to mislead the public into a belief that exorbitant prices arc justifiable." The united, mine workers' new wui;c schedule w hich went, into el feci lasl week, increases production cost be tween 1M anil .'III cents a Ion, says the commission. Leading operators' prices at the mine for May provide for Ibis waste increase and "there is no justification for a larger increase lo be passed on to the consumer." 'fbe nommissiou's report Recom mends action by congress or some authority to be designated by con gress on the following: "First, the elimination of the cle ment of speculation ami the charging of an exorbitant price or withholding from use of this necessity of life: and, second, the imperative need of keeping coal moving and of prevent ing coal cars from being held out of use for the purpose of speculative storage."

Opponents of censorship are threatening to carrv their t'u:ht lo conference. The mall ceusorslii), section of the espionage bill was tak en up in the senate today. Senate leaders have abandoned nf passing the meuMirc before ni week.

Tho cost of protecting orchards against frost Is made up of two main Items: Kipilpmont for protection, and fuel and labor on frosty nights. Tho small amount of Information al ready collected by tho weather bureau Indicates that the equipment costs re sult In an annual charge against the cost of raising fruit which Is some times as largo as the cost of fighting frost on cold nigtits. Tho cost of carrying frost fighting equipment Is somewhat hard to deter mine, but It Is so Important that the weather bureau has prepared a cost sheet which Is being used In Itoguc lltver valley this season for the first time. This sheet ban been sent to each orcbardlst on record at the local office of the weather bureau as pro viding tor frost righting. II Is scarce ly posslblo that all have been reached by this method. Mr. Heed of the division of agricul tural meteorology, who is conducting this work here is anxious to have the record as complete as possible. Ho says he will bo glad to tall; with any orchnrdlst regarding this problem. Tho letter seal orchat .'.Ists Is as fol lows: "As a basis for computing the fixed charges of orchard heating it is de sirable to have as complete state ments as posslblo of equipment costs. For this reason the Inclosed form has been prepared. The weather bureau will bo glad to have you fill out such of tho blanks as you aro able without too much trouble, and return the sheet at your convenience In tho en closed envelope which requires no postage. The replies will bo used In such a manner that tho costs of equipment or heating cannot be de termined for Individual orchard from the results, and no data for individ ual orchards will lie published. "I'nder coss, II is desired to know, if possible, Hie piico tit fuel and of heaters at the railroad, and also the cost delivered to tho orchard: the blank has been prepared with this in view. Under small equipment, such items as torches should bo Included. Distributing equipment Includes tank wagons, etc. Insuranro should In clude tho additional cost if Insuring! buildings, on account of the prox imity of largo amounts of oil, as well as the Insurance on the oil and the oil tank. "Interest nnd depreciation will be calculated by the weather bureau, but It Is desired to have estimated of the probablo life of the different Items ot equipment, so that proper deprecia tion may be charged."

WASIIIXCTOX, May .V-Confcr-ees on the war army selective draft bill again today sought to iron out difficult ies bet ween the houe and senate. Work on the measure was postponed fre.in yesterday because of the necessity of conferees nspondiiiy to frequent roll calls in both houses on espionage bills. The chief point of difference is over the aire limit, the senate fixing at L't to 27 and the bouse '21 to 41). The conferees hoped to reach an agreement today in order that the bill may be laid before President Wil son for his approval the first of the week. 10 GREAT BRITAIN WASIllNtlTON, May .".
