Illinois Will Fix Fuel Prices For The State.
Chicago, Aug. 11. - Governor Frank O. Lowden has won a single handed battle with the coal mine operators of the state. As a result, the price of soft coal is going down in Illinois.
Prices will be fixed by Chief Justice Orrin H. Carter of the supreme court of the state.
Governor Lowden persuaded a committee of coal operators to sign a contract binding them to reserve sufficient coal to supply needs of the state and to sell it at prices to be fixed by Justice Carter.  As coal director, Justice Carter also will arrange with the railroads for distribution of coal to all sections of the state and for its sale at fair prices.

Shipments Of Coal Decrease During July.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 11.-Shipments of anthracite coal for July, according to an official statement by the anthracite bureau of information, amounted to 6,724,252 tons, a decrease of 324,785 tons compared with June.  The decrease, the statement says, was due to the July 4 holiday, a number of small strikes and a reduction in the number of men, due to enlistment in the military service.
The shipments for the first seven months of the year amounted to 44,391,345 tons, an increase of 5,536,802 tons over the corresponding period of last year, and is a new record for the period.
The statement says the maximum of production has about been reached, and adds that any further drain upon the working forces must result in loss of production.
