 COMMISSIONS REPORT

Montgomery, Alabama, Sept "A, l92o. Gov. Thomas F.. kilby,
 Montgomery, Alaba<na.
 "Dear Sir: Following the submission of our recent report regarding the con- troversv between the coal operators and union mine officials of Alabama the commission has received from rep resentatives of producers of approxi- mately seventy-five per cent of the coal mined in Alabama assurances thai they stand ready to give adequate guarantees:
 "1. That the supply of coal, both steam and domestic, needed by mousse . holders and industries and institutions of the state will be promptly provided at prices satisfactory to the governor :. "2. J<at the distribution of such coal will be ESQ directed that the ultimate consumer will get full benefit of these reasonable prices; and
 g. That this arrangement shall continue not only during the present emergency. but also during any similar emergency Chat may, in the judgment of the governor. require similar ac- tion prior to February l, 1923.
 This fine attitude on the part O the operators is worthy Of special commendation on our part, and we de- sire to express recognition of 1t.
 .The operators have. in fact, made provision to meet the two outstand- ing grounds of public complaint as set forth in our recent report.
 CONTINUES BINDING
 This fact. taken in connection with the furter fact thaht the whole con sideration of this matter has been nee essarily somewhat hurried, and that both parties to the controversy mani festly desire further consideration 0. the problem pending legislative action. has led us to the conclusion that such action may be deferred for future con sideration Meantime no harm can re suit to the public in the matter of price or distribution since the assurance tc which reference has been made vii continue binding until February 1. 1923
 This guarantee on the part Of ths operators. copy of which we attach as part of our report in the opinion of the commission. will afford imme- diate relief to the needy and suffer ing public The relief afforded thereby will be much more speedy than could be hoped for by any compulsory legis- lation especially so if such legislation is to be resisted by the miners and the operators For these and other req sons unnecessary to specify, we rec ommend that you accept the proposed offer and guarantee Of the operators
 We are gratified to submit this statement to you. with the recommen- dation that the matter be adjusted on the basis suggested. We assume that the legislature will be glad to provide an appropriation to cover the salary of commissioner to be named by you and to report to you, together with other necessary expense in administer ing this matter.
 Respectfully submitted
 (Signed) GEORGE H.. DENNY.

Sugar Market n A~~>~sAk RY9sn

New York. September 24.-The local market for raw sugar was somewhat unsettled. and, while prices were un- changed. there seemed to be little more disposition to sell, while the de- mand was light and confined to near by requirements only. There were sales of 5000 bags of Porto Ricos in port at 10.7S for centrifugal and 2.5oo bags of Cubas at 9%, cost and freight equal to 1o.7s for centrifugal. with more of fering at the close without being taken.
 No further changes occurred in re- fined sugar with list prices ranging from 1l.a5 to 14.5o for fine granulated. although second Inland sugars were lower and while business was being done at IF to 14A cents, 1t was re- ported that some distressed lots were available at below or around 13 cents per pound. The demand was light
 The unsettled feeling in both raw and refined. as well as the general depression in commodity markets. led to further liquidation In sugar futures and closing prices were fifteen to twenty five points net lower. There was . fair business reported with con siderable switching from the near te moro distant positions.
