swo classes of companies could be
properly heard by the commission.
Chairman Gray did not think so ami
former Congressman Brumm, one Of
the attorneys for the miners, arguei
that it could; that the coaf companies
and the railroads were one and the
same; that freight rates were much
higher for anthracite than for btu
minous ccal, and that the profits of
the coal companies do not show on
their books but instead on those of
the railroad companies.
During the discussion Chairman
Gray made his announcement that the
commission was assuming that the
operator could pay a fair wage and
that II employers cannot pay fair
wages they ought to get out of the
business
Mr.. Lloyd seemed to be satisfied
with this view, AMI said he would go
no further; that the principle thus laid
down by the commission would be
welcomed by the workingmen of the
country and set a precedent. ''If that
principle is carried out no employer in
the country could, when his profits
were low, decrease a workman's
wages below the standard of fairness"
he remarked.
After the witness for the miners
testified today Mr.. Wolverton will
open the operators side of the case
by making an address which contains
the views of all the coal companies.

Washington, Dec. 16. - The coal
famine already is affecting the gov

most cases is neariy exhausted.
Some of them would have to be
closed in the event of anything like
blizzard weather and rigid economy
has been ordered. The coal supply at
the postoffice department was exhaust
ed today and all the electric lights
above the first floor and the private
elevator of the postmaster general
were shut off. The steam plant at
the interior department also was shut
down for over an hour, but a limited
supply of coal finally was secured from
local dealers.
The Capitol building has exactly two
days supply now but no fears are
felt there as the contract with the
Reading railroad requires that com
psny to furnish sufficient fuel to keep
the building heated.
