ing Post, has started a food control

MONTANA GOVERNOR
IS ON HIS EAR
HELENA. Mont., Nov. 12.—Gov.
Sam V. Stewart last night gave out
a telegram he sent yesterday to Na
tional Fuel Administrator Garfield, in
which the governor protests a report
ed advance in coal rates granted Mon
tana producers and says he will ask
the resignation of State Fuel Admin
istrator W. J. Swindlehurst If the re
port la confirmed.
"There Is absolutely no reason for
the recent reputed advance and the
state administration does not desire
to be responsible for such action ei
ther directly or Indirectly," his tele
gram states. "I thought regulation of
fuel prices was for the protection of
the consumer rather than for the pur
pose of exacting everything from the
consumers that they will stand, in or
der to profit ery to ev
der to insure a full margin of profit
to everybody who bandies the pro
duct."
