Investigating Coal Facts

\ DOPTlON by the Senate OF the Frcing-
huysen resolution authorizing a sweep
ing investigation into an the facts concern
ing coal profits places the burden Of proof
on the coal industry to show that il has
not taken advantage OF the relaxed Federal
control to victimizc the consumer of fuel
he country will not PREJUDICE this industry
1t will not conclude in advance that it is
proftecring, but it will ind satisfaction in d
disclosure OF the real truth
The representatives of the coal trade from
the producer TO the ultimate distributor would
DO we'll 10 contde all the facts about their
business TO the Senate committee They

vate industry. They cannot claim that they

They are engaged in producing basic com
modify That commodity is vital to tho wei
fare ui the whole nation. It NAV be Dri-
vateiy owned and privately marketed, but
this does not rob it of its quasi public
character
The government recognized this fact when
II took complete control Of the output OF
coal during the war. IL regarded this product
rs an essential American resource in the same
sense that the railroads are essential and
the wire services essential Moreover
the coal producers themselves acUuiesccd i'm
lhls view and offered no resistance to gov
eminent domination of their business as a
war measure.
AZ This moment there is widespread dc
mand for the NATURALIZATION Of the coal
deposits on this continent If the conviction
becomes hrmly enough fixed in the public
mind that the owners and handlers of coal
are gouging the public. this demand will
grow. It is the part of the coal people TO
show that this is not tho case and that
efficiency can only be guaranteed in coal min
ing through the exercise Of com petition The
Senate committee will go into all these uucs-
TONS and It's findings probably will have a
potential influence on the public mind II

hons ana not Of artificial imitation Of prices.
