COAL CONTROL

DIE MARCH 81
Time for Which Special Legis-
latiOn Was Enacted of
Short Duration.
INTEREST IN LAW LAGs

Friends of the special food and coal
commission indicated today that the lie
Of the commission probably will not be
prolonged after March 81 The commits

speciaI session Of the Seventy first Leg
islature, goes out OF existence March o.
unless it is continued by special tgis-
1ation.

There ia a possibility that the commits
SION NAV 90 out Of existence even oefore
March 81 as q result Of numerous suits
filed for the purpose Of contesting the
constitutionality Of its acts.
MORAY SILENT
ON COAL BILL.
The present members of the comn1ls-
sion viii not make any effort TO prolohs
its ufe and Goyernor-elect McCray has
stated that he will have nothing to say
concerning the continuation OF attempted
control OF the price and movement Of
coal
Since there is no indication that the
Legislature viii be asked to continue
the commission, the next thing that
arises is whether or not the commission
has accomplished the results that were
desired when the law was passed. Many
persons who have watched the actions
Of the commission say It has had no i'm
mediate effect in relieving the coal situa-
ton in Indiana.
It is becoming apparent that there
viii probably be no further need for
a commission The movement OF coal is
becoming freer and there is q tendency
20 lower prices without any assistance
from the commission.
NO APPROPRIATION FOR
FOOD INVESTIGATION.
The question arises, also, as to the
ability OF the commission to carry out
section p Of the coal commission act,
which provides that an Investigation OF
the high cost Of food products and prof.
teering. boarding and destroying OF food
products. shall be made by the commits
Seion. and recommendation made to the
Governor for the preparation OF a bill
to be presented to the next Genera
Assembly recommending such laws as
viii prevent the prOfteering and hoard
ing Of foods.
When the bill was enacted in the spe-
eial session no appropriation was made
for carrying out the provisions Of the
law, thereby making 1t impossible for
the commission TO conduct the investi-
cations called for in section p. Funds
for carrying on the coal Investigations
have been obtained from license fees
paid By operators. retailers and whole
salers OF coal. These funds, however. can
not be converted for Investigations Of
food prohteerinE.
Should a bill be considered for pro-
longing the life OF the coal commits
sion. It IS expected that an organized
fight against its passage will be made
by coal interests.
