coal proflteering, 'disgraceful and
disastrous conditions" and "a nation
al disgrace" are some of the indict.
ments against coal owners in a pre-

mittee on recontruction.
The committee said there has been
tremendous profiteering in coal and
that the private interests in control
of its production and distribution are
unable to prevent continuance of
the present deplorable situation"
The reputation of contracts dur

mittee, has been the primary cause
for the "disgraceful and disastrous
conditions"

signed a supplemental statement in
which remedial legislation is urged.
