COAL AGREEMENT MUST BE LIVED
 UP ID S FIAT
Republican A. P. Leased W!f,l

WASHINGTON, June 29. - Coal price reductions agreed on yesterday by the country's bituminous producers at a conference with government of ficials will be strictly enforced.
 With the weight of the industrys approval behind the agreement and certain of the fact that the government will take control if it is not lived uD to, the coal committee of the Council of National Defense will take quick measures to prevent any wavering. Today the committee warned operators at Decatur. H., who raised their prices beyond the limit set, that the industry would not stand for their action.
 The coal committee has given each of its twenty-siX members supervision of one coal production district and every man will be held responsible for prices in his territory, The federal trade commission will be called on for aid if difficulties arise.
 The price of anthracite. arranged some time ago at conferences between producers and the trade commission. probably will be further reduced to consumers, it was said today, through
 
 profits.
 Bituminous coal iobbers will not be allowed to raise coal prices beyond the mine price, with the addition of the freight and their profit of 9 cents a ton. If a consumer has difficulty in getting coal and he finds he can get it only by paying some jobber more than 9 cents profit the committee can be appealed to and will see that he gets coal direct from the mine at the mine price.
 The senate interstate commerce com mittee continued it's hearings today on legislation giving the government pow CT to take over coal mines. National prohibition, J. D. A. Marrow, of the Pittsburg Coal Producers association told the committee would increase production and go far towards reliev- ing the present shortage.

 Federal aid in controlling the situ- ation at Bisbee, where striking miners have closed down more than 50 per cent of the copper mines of that dis trict, yesterday was asked of Governor Campbell in a telegram from Sheriff Harry c.
