COAL SITUATION
BREWS TROUBLE
Business Panic May Come If
Remedy Is Not Found
Speedily.

Washington. December l6.-Serious
danger OF a general Industrial panic
throughout the United States is likely
to become a reality as a result of the
bituminous coal mining situation is
the opinion expressed here to-day by
j. b. Callbreath. Jr., OF Denver. Col.
secretary of the American Mining
permanent headquarters for the mining
organization.
Mr.. Callbreath declared this panic
was likely to come unless some ren-
sonable plan could be adopted by which
the bituminous coal operators could
be permitted to get together, under
the supervision of trade commission
similar to the Interstate Commerce
Commission or otherwise, so as to pre-
vent the ultimate bankruptcy of many
of the bituminous coal producers.
This bankruptcy. he asserted, was
bound to come because of tho cut
throat competition which now com
PEELED most OF these producers to sell
their coal at an annual loss. and as
$3.50. 100000 Is invested IN the indus
try and 100000 people are depend

would be widespread.
1.-The situation Is similar" he ex
planned, ito the chaos which would
exist II our railroads were under the
management OF 1900 different com
panies. with no power to agree upor
transportation rates and with the
ability to handle double the available
business"
Among the legislation which thu
Mining Congress Will urge from 1t:
Headquarters here will be some law
to remedy the bituminous coal stu
alton. The Mining Congress. Mr.. Call
breath said. would demand that TIT
operator have a fair profit, but at TIT
same time that the consuming public
have it's coal as cheaply as economical
operating expenses would allow ane
also that the lives OF the mine Work
