LEASE COAL LAND
TO BIG MINERS
COMMERCE COMMISSIONER SUP
PORTING PROPOSED MEASURE
BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Presidents Suggestion That Govern
ment Cease to Sell Lands Under
laid With Coal and Permit Mining
Companies to Handle Them-Sen-
ate Passes Deficiency Measure.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 19.-Inter.
state Commerce Commissioner Clarke
appeared before the house committee
on public lands yesterday, in support
of the presidents suggestion that the
government cease to sell coal lands,
and lease them to hereafter to mining
companies. He reiterated his charges
hat great corporations in league with
railroads have "cornered' lands and
forced the prices up to an u%nreason-
ably high point.
Shippers Partly to Blame.
When questioned by members of the
committee as to the present difficulty
in getting cars, Clarke replied hat in
his opinion shippers are as much tc
blame as carriers for the present car
shortage. He said thousands of cars
are delayed unnecessarily in large cen
tiers by the failure of large shippers to
unload them promptly. In Clarke's
opinion, railways are buying cars and
locomotives as rapidly as they can get
them.
