producers in Des Moines today to find
out why the cost Of coal is so high
The council Of defense undertook an

are unreasonable. The council also
wishes to survey the coal situation to

urnes Eederal Control.

Washington, June 21.-Government
pools Of coal production and distrtbu-
ton and of rail and water transporta-
ton were recommended to congress oy
the federal trade commission as the
only means of avoiding a disastrous
coal shortage next winter.
"The commission believes says the
report, submitted after many months
of investigation ordered by congress,
that the coal industry is paralyzlng
the industries Of the country and that
the coal industry itself is paraiyzed by
the failure Of transportation. There
are enough coal cars in the country but
not enough are delivered to the mines
and these cars are not moved TO the
point Of consumption with the greatest
expedition nor are they promptly dis
charged
Plan Proposed.
In view Of these conditions, the COM
mission recommends:
"First-That the production and dis
tribution of coal and coke be conducted
thru pool in the hands Of a govern
ment agency; that the producers OF
various grades Of fuel be paid their
full cost of production plus a uniform
profit per ton with due allowance Tor
quality OF product and efficiency OF
service): and,
"Second-That the transportation
agencies Of the United States both rail-
and water be pooled and operated on
government account, under the direc-
ton Of the president and that all such
means Of transportation be operated as
a unit, the owning corporations belns
paid a just and fair compensation
which would cover normal net proht'
upkeep and betterments."
An urgent necessity exists for I'M
mediate legislation to correct condl-
tons, says the report, because the
usual spring and summer accumulation
Of coal stocks at points distant from
producing districts sis not now taking
place but it must be made during what
remains of the summer unless the
country is to face next winter most
serious and an irreparable situation
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 or
their coal industries in varying de-
grees.

However, Mclean Is not concrete

He takes note Of the added cost OF
