COAL CONTROL HINTEO
TO END FRIGHTENING
BY MINE OPERATORS

If the coal owners OF this country
| do not stop gouging the public. the
government will have to take control,
declared United States Senators Cal
der and Edge in a statement issued IN
New York City. The lawmakers are
fmembers OF the senate committee on
reeonstruction. They give notice that
unless the coal industry reforms il
self and cuts prices to reasonable
figure by December g." a bill viii be
introduced in the senate which viii
provide for the "most stringent regu-
lafion OF every branch of the busi.
ness"
The senators make the sweeping
charge that the coal industry as a
whole stands self-conyicted OF prac.
ticing gross extortion on the whole
public of the United States.
with 100000 more tons Of coal
produced SO far in 1920 over the
same period Of 1919 there is no reason

is stated.
THE wrongdoing has been admit
ted by d. b. Wentz, president OF the
National Coal association: by Com.
missioner Clyde b. Atchison OF the in.
terstate commerce commission and by
Daniel Willard of the Baltimore g.
Ohio railroad, representing the rail

I'VE are opposed TO government reg
ulation as a policy, but the govern

It's people, and we will recommend a
bill for entire control of the industry
just as far as possible under the con
stitution unless prices are materially
reduced to the public by December g.
THE coal industry stands self-con
yicted
There is general confession on
the part of the industry. even
though guilty individuals have not
been identified The reformation OF
these evils is their own concern
primarily. Most of the leading coal
operators realize that and are seek

In discussing surplus profits, DR..
Ryan says labor should be preferred,
