SENATOR REED IN
ATTACK ON FUEL
ADMINISTRATOR

Washington, Feb. 26-Responsibil-
ity for the coal shortage was placed
squareIy on the fuel administration
| by Senator Reed of Missouri today
| in a Statement of facts submitted
to the senate subcommittee on man
ufacturers as a basis for a report of
| it's recent investigation of the fuel
situation. Senator Reeds statement
was not the report of the sub-com-
mittee, which investigated the food
and fuel administrations, but a state
rnent of his individual conclusions on
the facts.
1.-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 disastrous
character"
For this reason, Senator Reed said,
there should be an immediate an
nouncement of prices and contracts
which would be allowed to succeed
present coal contracts, of which vir-
tuaIly all terminate on April 1.
The statement als0 advocated the
announcement of fixed time in
which the business world may safely
adjust itself to the new contracts and
added:
cit is plain that the prices allowed
to be charged must be reasonably
remunerative. If this is denied, the
maximum Of production cannot be
expected
4 Senator Reed declared the recent
fueI order closing industries east OF
, the Mississippi river was issued by the
, fuel administration without warrant
or authority of law in order ''to ex-
tricate itself from it's selfcreated
dilemma" The senator made it pla r
that there was no excuse for such g
condition to exist as the government
on. August 10 took over the contro
of coal with authority to commander
mines and ample powers to meet any
emergency.
, The transatlantic shipping tieup, a.
far as was due toll ack of bunker coal
-. also was blamed on the fuel admins
tration by the Missouri senator. Hi:
statement asserted that the entire
: business machinery for bunkerins
: ships, built up by practical experts
not theorists or dreamers, had beer
L put out of commission or completed.
subordinated to the fuel administra
ton so that it can be fairly said tbs
fuel administration was substituted TO
\ the machinery Heretofore existing.
, To add to the confusion the state
ment said the prices fixed by the Lam
committee were swept aside by tht
: fuel administration and this mis-
take finally was discovered and ad
mitted by DR.. Garfield. Senator Ree(
+ declared multiplicity of priority or
q ders resulted in tieing- up thousands
n of freight cars and in creating en-
n Sargoes in many of the great termina
# yards of the country.
OBVIOUSLY" the statement con
: cluded, this great fundamental bust
:. ness ought not to be wrested from
: experienced hands and taken over b!
3 those who, however good their inten
Y tons, are utterly lacking IN tina
9 knowledge essential to its successful
! conduct"
The statement was taken under
consideration today and report or
the finding of the recent inquiry is
+ expected soon.
