Bituminous coal production is free
from anything approaching control or
potential control by any group"
Ralph Crews, attorney for the Con-
solidation Coal Company. testified to-
day before a Senate committee. in
opposing the Calder bill to regulate
the industry.
The three largest producers, of
which the Consolidation is one. Mr..
Crews said, control together less
than 10 per cent of yearly output"
High prices for coal last year. he
said. were due almost entirely to
transportation facilities. A general
discussion of prices followed and the
witness said that out, of all these
conditions there have undoubtedly
grown some abuses in the coal busi-
ness. and these 1 am not here to de-
fend."
However" he continued, 'the most
important thing for US to do is to get
back to a sane consideration of these
things from pre-war state of mind
and look for remedies that will be ef-
fective in normal times"
