BLAMES THE FUEL
ADMINISTRATOR
FOR SHORTAGE
Senator Reed Says Recent
Order Was Without
Authority of Law
~ Associated Press. }

Washington, Feb. 26.-Responsihili-
ty for the coal shortage was placed
on the fuel administration by Senator
Reed, of Missouri, today in a state
ment Of facts" submitted to the sem
ate subcommittee on manufactures as
a basis for a report Of it's recent in
vestigatiOn of the fuel situation.
Senator Reeds statement was not
the report of the subcommittee which
investigated the food and fuel admin
istrations, but q statement of his in
dividual conclusions on the facts.
"The chaos now existing in the
coal business" the statement said,
must give place to stability or we
will in the near future be confronted
by a coal shortage Of the most dis
astrous character"
For this reason Senator Reed said
there had been an immediate an
nouncement Of prices and contracts,
which viii be allowed to replace
present coal contracts practically all
OF which will terminate April i.
Senator Reed declared the recent
fuel order closing industries east Of
the Mississippi river was issued by
the fuel administration without war
rant or authority of law" in order TO
"extricate itself from it's self-created
dilemma" The senator made 1t plain
that there was no excuse for such a
condition to exist as the government
on August 10, took over the control
of coal with authority to comman-
deer mines and ample powers to meet
any emergency.
The trans Atlantic shipping tie-up,
as far as was due to lack OF bunker
coal, also was blamed on the fuel ad-
ministration by the Missouri sena-
tor. His statement asserted that the
entire business machinery for bunker
ing ships, built up by practical ex-
perts, not theorists or dreamers, had
been nut out of commission or CONF
pletely subordinated to the fuel ad-
ministration so that IL can be fairly
said that the fuel administration was
substituted for the machinery there
tofore existing"
To add to the confusion the state
ment said. the prices fixed BY the
Lane committee were swept aside by
the fuel administration" and this
mistake was finally discovered and
admitted by Dr. Garfield. Senator
Reed also showed how the multiple
city OF priority orders resulted IN ty-
ing UP thousands 0f freight cars and
in creating enbargoes IN many OF the
great terminal yards Of the country
II submit that no great business" I"
continued the statement. "can PROS
per unless the conditions under which
IA ID to be conducted are reasonably
stable. What coal producer can be
expected to expeud large sums Of
money to increase the output Of his
mine when he is informed in advance
that the prices he win IN the future
be allowed To charge are subject
change at any moment By individuals
over whom he has no possible con-
troll and who may either be inform-
Ell or uninformed on coal costs pr

FARMERS Are
REFUSED AID
Charges Lodged With At
torney General Against
Farm Loan Bank

bismarck, N. d., Feb. 26.-Charges
that the federal farm loan bank at
st. Paul is refusing 10 loan money
TO North Dakota farmers because the
seed and feed bonding act provides
that these bonds shall constitute a
first lien on the land and its products
were filed with Assistant Attorney
General Daniel ". Brennan today by
n. J, u Montgomery OF Tappen,
president of the North Dakota Farm
ers Educational and Cooperative
union.
Il have positive evidence that our
loans are being held UP because the
farm loan officials construe this seed
and feed bonding act to jeopardize
their security" said President
ing denied federal loans at the very
money. / do not believe the seed
and feed bonding provision giving
these bonds first lien on the land
Of a farmer who procures seed on
county warrants has been properly
interpreted by the federal land loan
banks, Even If such lien should take
precedence over the federal farm
loan. the amount which each farm
er will borrow for seed is so small IN
comparison that 1t should not bar
him from federal assistance"
Mr.. Montgomery has asked Assist
ant Attorney General Brennan to
prepare an opinion on this phase of
the act and also to take the matter
up with the farm loan bank at st.
Paul to verify charges which have
come to the president Of the Farm
ers' union.
