BILL TO STABILIZE COAL
INDUSTRY IS OPPOSED
National Association Regards Ere
inghuysen Measure as "Pater-
nalistic and Discriminatory"

The coal industry stabilization BILL
sponsored by Senator Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey. is opposed by the Ma
tional Coal Association on the ground
that it is paternalistic. discriminatory
and Unconstitutional. the association
announced today.
1.-The bituminous operators join with
the other branches of the industry In
announcing their opposition to TINS
pending legislation, which Is botn
regulatory and inauisitorial in its
dustry as one for particular legisla-
tive direction and control" says the
association.
The bituminous operators, the state
ment of the association said, have ex-
pressed themselves to Senate commit
tirely willing to cooperate with the
government in giving voluntary IN
formation for public use. as to pro-
duction. distribution and prices OF
coal. They insist that the Freling-
huysen bill. which makes the sub, .,
mission of this data compulsory"
violates the Constitution in that 1t at
tempts to enforce the disclosure Of
information concerning matters which
are not within the power Of Congress
to CONTROL
'The bill, If passed." the statement
precedent for similar paterpal and
regulatory legislation with reference
to every line of private business.
IF Congress has the power to enact
legislation of this character concern
ing the coal industry and all con-
sumers Of coal. it must have the same
power to enact similar legislation
with reference to other lines of pri-
vate business, and If it is conceded
that such legislation offers a panacea
for supposed evils in the coal indus
try it will, in similar fashion, be
assumed that by legislation can be
found a cure-all for every supposed
defect in private business.
"Such a program of legislation. once
embarked upon, will lead rapidly to
the destruction of private initiative,
competition. and the whole structure
Of the producing and merchandising
business of this country"

The Prophets.

The wise old prophets of the
ring now figure in the daily
news, and they explain, like
everything, why Carp will win
or why he'll lose. These sew
enth sons of seventh sons are
always here to guide us right
whenever pugilistic- ones are
scheduled for a drastic fight.
The mantle of Elijah falls upon
the wise men of the ring, and
every dead game sport recalls
that prophet-eering has its
sting. For if the prophets all
unite to say that Jack will win
the scrap, and Jack is beaten in
the fight, how shall each prophet
save his map. The prophets told
me, years ago, that Willard had
a lead pipe cinch, and after seven
rounds or SO, poor Jack would
be too dead to pinch. And so |
wagered all my means, accord
ing to the prophets rede, and
when the winners got their
beans my bank account was
gone to seed. The prophets said,
in days of old, that Corbett was
the prince of blows, and he
would knock Fitzsimmons cold
among Nevada's CHASTITY SHOWS.
And so, to bet on Jim's success,
l put my watch and COW in soak !;
conceive my subsequent distress
Il never was so badly broke. l
shall not bet on Jack or Carp, no
matter what the prophets say;
while they predict I'll tune my
harp, and spring a mad and mer-
ry lay. WALT MASON.

the purpose either Of forcing the
rightful owners of the trade marks
to pay for the privilege of using
them in exporting countries or OF
excluding the articles entirely: 1t
lends itself to fraudulent and black
mailing practices and any conven-
petition should include a prohibition
of such methods"
On the question of through rout-
ing, the committee recommends that
1.-The nations should cooperate not
only in the removal of physical bar
riers to trade but in the removal OF
all administrative impediments."
AS one of the means of restoring
the worlds commerce the committee
urges that customs regulations at

be made as uniform and simple as
