|ND0RSE THE
REGULATION OF
COAL INDUSTRY
Heads Of Two or Three Gov.
.ernment Bodies Say Calder
Bill Workable

Washington, D. C.. Jan. 1S.-ReGula-
ton of the coal industry as provided in
the pending Calder bill, was indorsed
today by heads OF two or three govern
ment agencies which would be charged
with administration of the measure.
Edgar l.. Clark, chairman OF the in
terstate commerce commission and DIR.
G. o. Smith, director of the geological
survey both of which agencies to-
gether with the federal trade commits
sion would be called upon to enforce
the regulatory provisions, told the
senate manufacturers committee that
tho bill as drafted, would be workable.
Chairman Clark was asked as to his
opinion of provisions of the bill which
would request the interstate commerce
commission to regulate freight car sup
ply at mines and gather facts as to
coal movements. In his reply APPROX
ing such provisions he declared that
the acute shortage of last year might
again be experienced unless a means
were devised to bring about tho trans
portation OF coal, in advance OF tho
seasonablo requirements. Asserting
that the bill should be enacted. Direc-
tor Smith outlined the two general
methods proposed in the bill for deal
ing with the coal industry.
"'The first method to be applied dur
ing normal times" he said. merely
involves the collection of statistics of
production. distributions OF coal which
are to be made available to the public
THE second method to be applied
only in emergency and when found
necessary by tho federal trade COM

dent allows price fixing. dealing in
coal by tho federal government and
authorities control of the production.
transportation and sale of COAL
DIR. Smith was led into Il prolonged
argument by Senator Reed. Democrat
of Missouri.
Isn't it a fact that there was al
ways plenty OF coal at low prices,
prior to 1914 and the war;" Senator
Reed asked.
DO you know of a case where a
man could not get all he wanted any
time barring occasional strikes or rail-
road tic ups?"
DIR. Smith replied that the industry
had generally been ''in BAD condition
and unstabilized" and troubled with
overproduction. to which the senator
responded that "overproduction gen
orally is a good thing for the COM
munity at large"
Senator Reed also contended that
and demand would Eivc n better and
cheaper coal supply than any federal
regulation. but DIR. Smith held to his
conclusion that "therc was middle
ground for regulation by federal au-
thority desirable in the production and
distribution OF some commodities.

Unionism in the Theater.

The exertion Of a beneficient inf1u-
ence upon the quality Of plays pro-
duced upon the American stage was
probably not the main objection in the
minds of those whose activities in
unionizing the acting business have
recently been driving George NJ. Cohan
and other producing managers to the
brink of despair. The disinterested
betterment of the lot of the public is,
alas, too rarely a primary considera-
ton of unionism. Yet the trend of re-
cent developments along that quaint
Manhattan thoroughfare which goes
by the name of Broadway would seem
to indicate that. as an indirect conse-
quence of theatrical labor" troubles
how the shades Of Mansfield and Booth
and Joe Jefferson must shudder at
that term-the great playgoing public
is to benefit materially.
Actors and stage hands are, we are
told. aggressively pressing their de-
mands upon the producers. And though
our sympathies. in the resulting strug-
gle may incline one way or the other.
in the fact that struggle exists there
cannot but be general rejoicing. For
auguries as to the outcome Of the
fray involve the following assurances
incidental perhaps to the contestants.
yet of major import to the public at
large: Musical comedy casts are to
be cut and cut again. Their very
number is to be reduced by half, There
is to be a determined concentration
upon the production Of straight drama.
None but a public dizzy. bewildered
and helpless under the latter-day in
undation of well-styled musical ex-
ravaganzas can understand the full
sweetness of any such representation.
From the ranks of every lover of
drama as an art which should ask of
its devotees more than dimpled knee
or a facility for broadly humorous
badinage arise loud cheers. Still es-
sential as a relief from the serious
aspects of life, a halting in their near
monopolization of the American stage
cannot but exert healthy influence
upon the musical productions them
selves. Thus-in all seriousness-the
stage, from its industrial travail. may
find for itself proud regeneration.

Those responsible for the conduct OF

concerned over the fact that the sport
is livelier. the hitting is more free and
the fielders are daily tired out chasing
the balls. They need not worry. The
public likes this sort of sport. Rule

increase the pitchers advantage. but
they will be wise if they take look at
