Washington, Sept. 4-Warning that
from now until the end Of the year
coal operators will lay stress on trans
portation difficulties to explain in
creased coal prices was given the SEN
ate coal investigation committee by
Walker D. Hines, director general of
railroads. 'These difficulties will be
kept before the public, exploited, and
perhaps expanded" Mr.. Hines said,
'in an effort to justify raising prices
to as high a point as the public will
stand and for which it should not
stand" Appearing before the commit
tee to reply to the operators charges
that car shortage was the main fac
tor In bringing about a diminished
supply of coal and, consequently a
tendency to high prices. Mr.. Hines de-
clared his belief that the railroads
would be able to move all the coal
necessary. The director general sug-
gested that the government retain
enough of its 'war power" to enable
it to control coal prices until normal
conditions are completely restored.
"This is war emergency, after ALL"
