COAL CONTROL
LAW FAILS AS
PUBLIC RELIEF
Dealers Reluctant to Sell at
Price Fixed and Bin Short
age Results.
ESCHBACH GIVES VIEWS

That State coal control law is not sue
cessfu in practice became more evident
today as reports Of coal shortages poured
in from all parts OF the State.
These reports, following on the heels
Of the State Coal Commissions statement,
that the price of coal has been reduced
on an average Of $3.50 cents a ton in the
State, have led to the belief that the
shortage is due directly to low prices.
In other words, the dealers in many
places are not finding 1t advisable to
sell coal at the prices fixed. Many peo-
pie who have followed the situation in
Indiana express the belief that the i'm
practiclbility Of the coal control act lies
in the enforcement provision. Under this
provision dealers are licensed and
licenses may be revoked for failure to
obey orders Of the commission. 1t has
been pointed out that putting a dealer
out Of business does not supply coal to
the consumer
SMALL CONSUMER
HAS MOST TROUBLE.
While tie condition In indianapolis
was looked upon as critical, there Is no
indication Of actual suffering as a re-
suit Of a lack Of coal. IN previous years
coal shortages have appeared first Ia in
dustries and public utilities. This is not
rule this year, for Il is only the small
consumer who is having a great deal OF
trouble obtaining coal.
In commenting on the coal situation,
Jesse f. Echbach, chairman OF the con-
mission, said that in some cities "coal
dealers have Joined hands with the
operators In an effort to embarrass the
commission and as a consequence the
people suffer-
III any city in Indiana shows this
commission It Is IN serious need OF coal
and makes a request for fuel the com
mission will issue an order at once FOR
coal TO be sent to that city Mr. Esch-
bach said.
MANY Of the cities DO not want Indi-
ana coal" said Mr. Eschbach.
COAL SHIPPED FROM
OUTSIDE OF STATE.
Some Indiana cities are fortunately
situated on a direct lire with the West
Virginia coal aelds, and they can get
coal from these fields most OF the time.
When they are unable to get West Yir-
glnia coal then they fail hack on the
indiana product II they can't get it
right away, then the commission gets
the blame"
A dlapatch from Grsensburg states the
situation ia that city Is serious. OH
cials OF the eoai commission, however,
state car Of coal was sent TO Greens
burg late Monday and that the situation
there should be relieved.
According 10 Mr Eschbach the great
est difficulty Is experienced from failure
OF retail dealers 20 cooperate with ths
commission.
Mr. Eschbach announced that wagon
mine prices win be A1ed by the commits
sion soon, and a hearipg win be held at
10 e'clses. Nor. 81 for appraTiufateiy
is wagon mine operators.

GENEVA, Nov. 16.-Tumult broke out

tions before putting them before the
