STORES Of protests are being made
wirefrom the Fairmont region to
resident Harding, United States
kenators Sutherland and Elklns and
sther officials at Washington against
he proposed bills presented in the
enate 10 regulate the coal indus

who are coal tradesmen, point out
lihat the industry is Disseminated
lagains and that the proposed action
Is contrary, to campaign promises OF
last year Of less government in bus
mess And more business in govern
nant
Thereds a belief among operators
hand others that the Frelinghuysen
hill VIII not pass the senate but no
ine Is TOO sure, since the senate de-
ided % regulate the meat industry.
rhere Is a feeling among the coal
radesmen that the senate has no
license to pick out the coal business
ven though It Is basic industry.
AS far as the bituminous indus
y is concerned no regulation is
oeded 1T is contended, because the
ut on the market lowered prices to
oint lower than the price Of pro-
uction. However, with the anthra-
tie situation there appears to be
a justified kick as well as some un-
.crupnlous brokerage firms that
iirht Ia be eliminated. The bltum-
Inous Industry feels that II this reg
ilatory measure is passed II will be
4 a Wide fof more to follow. Natur-
ally The bituminous coal operator Is
gaInst the entire program.
