West Attacks
Goal Combine
Begins Proceedings Before the Corporation
Commission to Lower the Price Of
Coal IN Oklahoma

Guthrie, Aug. 6-PrOceedings will
be commenced by Attorney General
Charles J. West before the corpora.
ton commission this evening for the
purpose Of regulating the selling price
Of coal in Oklahoma. A large number
of coal deaers and coal operators are
named as defendants in the suit and
exhaustive statistics cited in regard
to the amount of coal produced iii the
state and the cost Of its production, to
show that there is no reason for a
higher selling price of coal now than
a few years ago, and that If anything
the price should now be lower In
stead Of higher
According to the attorney generals
figures the actual production at the
mines is now about s16O. He figures
that 50 per ton would be a very fair
selling price at the mines, aside from
the possibility of loss through strikes.
car shortage ETC. Even taking these
things into consideration he holds that
$3.50 would be fair price. It is es-
limated that this would allow Okla
homa mined coal to be sold to the con
sumer at s5 to $3.50 per ton. instead
Of from $3.50 to IS, as at present.
The common law, the sttutes Of Ok
lahoma Cncluding the constitutional
provisions defining the power Of the
corporation commission) are all cited
by the attorney general in support oi
his contentious. One section Of the
antitrust law was written by General
West himself with especial reference
to the coal situation.
