BILLS OPPOSED
Measures Intended to StabiI-
ize Coal Business and Fix
Seasonal Rates
by GEORGE HI. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of Eve
ming News,)

WASHINGTON, d. c., June Is
The coal industry through its ire
mendously powerful organizations.
has lined UP to oppose passage of the
two Frelinghuysen coal bills now be-
fore congress intended to stabilize
the coal business and to fix seasonal
rates for transportation of coal.
Formal notice of this formidable
opposition was given Senator Jo-
seph s. Frelinghuysen of New Jer-
sey yesterday in a letter of protest
from George II. Gushing. managing
director of the American Wholesale
Coal Association.
These two bills. Nos. s SO and 81,
are next on the senate calendar and
are expected to be the next measures
taken up by the senate after the bill
to regulate the packing industry,
10Y under discussion. is disposed of.
Senator Frelinghuysen framed these
bills and reported them to the Sem
ate two weeks ago from the commit
tee on interstate commerce which
has been conducting Investigations of
all phases of the coal industry off
and on for the past two years.
The bill s SO, Incorporating sug-
gestions made by Chairman Clark of
the Interstate, Commerce Commits
sion. whose members unqualiiedly
endorse it, authorizes the commits
sion to initiate lower freight rates
on coal during the spring and sum-
mer months and higher rates during
the fall and winter months in order
to encourage consumers to purchase
in advance of their seasonal needs,
thereby keeping the mines operating
at full capacity all the year around.
The other bill, S 54, puts the coal
industry under government control
and regulations. 1t gives the secre-
tary of commerce and the bureau of
mines authority to investigate pro-
duction of GOA stocks on hand, dis
tribution and prices; costs and pro-
fits, labor conditions, storage, etc.
The bureau of mines is authorized
by the bill to investigate the practi-
cability of a statutory coming sys-
tenn defining the distance from the
mine to which the coal shall be
transported. and the ACCESSIBILITY Of
having all coal for the government
purchased by one central agency.
The bill authorizing seasonal
coal transportation rates will reduce
the cost to the consumer and gener-
ally stabilize the price and the coal
industry as a WHOLE" said Senator
Frelinghuysen In his report to the
senate. THE capacity output Of all
this coal mines assuming fair con-
slant operation, would far exceed
present consumption. The output
of all these mines. working as al
present only intermittently during
the spring and summer months and
working to capacity during the fall
and winter months is barely suf1-
cient to supply the current needs
and the greatly Increased cold
weather demand for coal. During
the winter the demand So nearly
equals the current available supply
hat scarcity prices prevail.
