Il
tween rail transportation and anthra-
cite production" Bituminous mines,
however, are compelled by the car
shortage to operate only part time
and many miners are going into other
work.
Contributing factors in the disor-
ganization OF coal transportation are
the high barge rates from New York
to Newport News to Boston and the
practice of lake ships to make trips
to the northwest in water ballast
rather than carry coal.
Commission Explains Plan.
Discussing the proposed remedy,
the commission says:
"If the producer at each mine were
paid his full cost of production, with
allowances for depletion, mainte-
nance, upkeep and all the usual items,
and to this were added a fixed and
uniform net profit per ton, with due
regard to quality, the coal thus pro-
duced at widely varying casts, il
pooled, could be sold through the
government at an average and uni
form price, quality considered, which
would be entirely tolerable to the con-
suming public and price much
lower than could be fixed if all ef-
fort were made to fix uniform price
to the producer. 1t would seem that
steady employment, fair compensa-
ton to labor and capital, equitable
distribution and stable prices could
be secured.
"The railroads of the country, if
operated as unit and on govern
ment account, could be used to trans
port coal and other products by the
most direct route to their point of
destination and the efficiency of the
roads themselves, existing rolling
stock and motive power would be
vastly increased.
Distribution Of Receipts.
"All receipts from all rail and wa
ter transportation agencies being
pooled at the hands of the govern
ment and all expense Of operations
being paid from the common fund,
each individual company should be
paid a just compensation. which
might be measured by the average
annual net profit and expenditure for
maintenance and betterments for the
6ve-year period prior to the war.
THE operations both OF the mines
and of the transportation agencies
could be carried on by the present
employees md officials and after the
war they could be returned unim-
paired to private operation. The roll
ing stock of railroads, operated as a
unit could be modified SO as to care
for the shifting seasonal demands
Attention is called to the fact that
Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy
and Germany have found it necessary
during the war to take over control
of their coal industries in varying de-
grees.
The commission will continue its
investigation.
