Conference of Governors to

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. liking
Coal is in a fair way TO be de-
throned. along with some other
kings on the other side of the wa

Whether he will be dethroned by
state or federal action. or by both,
is undecided But the public has
decreed his dethronement, and the
agencies Of the public, unless all
signs fail. will carry out the de-
cree.
Almost innumera bic times a spec
ial session OF the Indiana legisla-
ture has been reported imminent"
Without making public announce
ments, Gov. Goodrich has let il be
known on more than one occasion
that he intended 70 call that body

ton ON more than one occasion.

steps Likely to- BE Taken.
Now, the food control bill has
passed congress, with the Pomerene
amendment giving the president
control of coal at the mines and
empowering the fixing Of prices by
the federal trade commission. This
action has come just at a time when
governors of middle western states
have been ready 20 take the situa-
,iOn in their own hands. The steps
which are likely to be taken are
these:
Gov Goodrich will ascertain
what the federal agencies are
going 20 do To bring down the
price of coal
When middle western govern

time they viii have a definite
understanding of what federal
action will be taken
If the government does not
act. then the governors will or
ganize for concerted action
through the state legislatures.
Uniform legislation giving state
agencies drastic control of the
coal situation Will be asked.
This legislation. sure 10 be
passed. will either force the coal
operators TO lower prices, or 10
keep prices where they are now,
or permit state control of output
and prices.
Much progress has been made in
In llama in the coal situation, al
though prices have remained high.
The railroads have been prOdded
until they have furnished nearly all
/ the cars asked for, and the excuse of

peen demolished. The cost of coal
At the mines in Indiana has been

The coaI operators tell the people
they are fortunate. They point 20
prices of coal abroad-in sweden
$50 a ton. in Germany $24 a ton,
and almost priceless in Italy.
But Gov. Goodrich has shown the
cost OF coal at the mines 10 be
