INDIANAPOLIS, June IS. - The
coal situation in this state is becom-
ing worse instead OF better, despite
the fact that railroads are supply
ing more cars TO the Indiana mines,
and efforts have been made 10 effect
an agreement with operators to fix
prices. This opinion is said TO be
that Of some Of the state officials at
least.
The coal situation was before the
state council of defense Wednesday
at its meeting. Strong limitations
from a number Of sources were
made that a special session of the
Indiana legislature is probable in
the near future, unless congress
gives the president power 70 regu-
late prices and distri button.
Goodrich VIII Act.
Gov. Goodrich held a conference
Wednesday with Will n. Hays,
chairman OF the state council of de-
Tense and z. 1. Lewis, chairman of
the Indiana public service commits
sion. No announcement of what was
discussed was made. but later in the
day il was said Gov. Goodrich has
made up his mind on the question of
bringing coal prices down 10 what
is considered reasonable point,
and also compelling mine operators
TO supply an adequate quantity TO
residents Of the state.
In connection with forcing the
operators 10 supply coal in quaint
ties and prices considered reason
able" the governor transmitted to
the council Of defense Wednesday
legal opinion concerning the powers
OF the legislature in the matter.
That opinion. furnished him by two
lawyers said in effect that the leg
islature had both the power TO fix
prices and place embargoes on In
diana coal 10 keep il from being
shipped from the state after prices
once should be fixed.
Can't COnfscate Coal Land.
The opinion however. says the
state cannot confiscate the coal
property and provision in price must
be made for a fair profit to the
mine owners. The embargo could
be placed in effect the opinion read.
by means of licensing all persons or
corporations desiring TO engage in
mining in Indiana and requiring
them TO mine a certain amount for
consumption in this state. Some
members Of the council expressed
the opinion that an agreement yet
may he effected with coal operators.
The general coal situation in In
diana was taken up again today at
the meeting of the state council of
defense. a resolution was prepared.
asking congress TO empower the
president 20 fix coal prices and reg
ulate distribution. The resolution re-
suited from a letter 70 Will H. Hays,
chairman Of the council from Gov.
Goodrich. in which the governor
gave a broad intimstion that a spec
ial session of the legislation is not
an improbability as a means Of solv-
ing the coal situation in this state.
Opinion from Cox.
With the governors letter 10 Mr..
Hays was an opinion given TO the
governor by Charles f. Cox. former
" a Judge Of the Indiana supreme
court. in which was expressed the
belief that the Indiana legislature
not only had authority 70 fix prices
on Indiana coal but also could au-
thorize embargoes on shipments OF
coal from the state 70 points outside
the state. thus regulating the sup
ply OF Indiana coal in Indiana.
