Regulation of
Coal Trade
Coal Industry Must Reform 1t,
SELF and Cut Prices to Reason
able Figures

New York, Nov. 5.-United States
Senators William Calder and w. T..
Edge, members of the senate COM
mittee on reconstruction, in a JOINT
statement here today announced that
unless the coal industry reforms it,
self and cuts prices to q reasOna bic
figure by December 6 they will in
uoduce bill for thY most stringent
regulation of every branch Of the
business"
The senators declared they do not
undertake TO say that this individ-
ual IS a proftecF and that this one
Is not but the coal industry as Il
whole stands self convicted of prac-
tcing gross .eXtortion on the whole
public of the United States"
I'VE are both opposed TO govern
ment regulation as a policy" the
statement said, but the government
must assume responsibility for it's
people, and we will recommend Il
bill for entire control of the industry
just as far as possible under the con-
stitutlon unless prices are materially
reduced TO the public by Decem-
Der 6.
I'VE are deadly in earnest about
this. We are both conservatives on
the matter of govegnment ownership,
but we are absolutely disgusted with
this situation. The country has been
justified in the past in thinking that
an investigation Of the kind con-
Quoted by this committee never
amounts to hill of beans. Our work
would be of no value if 1t merely
resulted in a report of 1000 pages to
be filed and not read. The coal in
dustry stands self convicted,
THE wrongdoing has been ad-
mittod by ID. Il. Wentz, represent
ing the National Coal association, TO
Commissioners Clyde Is. Aitchison of
the interstate commerce commission
and Daniel Willard, representing the
railroads. There is a general confess
sion on the part of the industry even
though guilty individuals have not
been identified. The reformation of
these evils is their own concern pri-
marily, Most of the leading coal op-
orators realize that and are seeking
today TO clean up their business with
in. That is the only salvation If
they can't solve their own problems,
we will have to use drastic means
to solve it,"
The senators declared they are not
here "to decide definitely who or
what particular element are guilty"
I They asserted, however that there
is guilt somewhere among Operators
and spectators, who fix prices"

Seoul, Korea, Nov. 5.-Japanese
settlers in California should all leave

the japanese would economically lose,
but would score a great moral victory.
There is plenty of room in Chosen
(KOrea) and Manchurla.
Being industrious and diligent,
there is no, reason why they cannot
succeed on this side of the Pacific as
on the other. We wish that the Jap
aneSe statesmen in power were far
sighted enough 10 take measures for
recalling home all Of them in order to
make them contribute to the economi-
cal and industrial development Of
Chosen and Manchuria. We want here

By California. Why not accept it with
