STATE ACTION
ONCONGEST|ON
Highway Commission to Con-
fer With Gasoline Co.'S
Regarding Stations
rBv Evsnins Newt. correspondent.1

tBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, June 15.-Steps which
the State Highway Commission has
taken looking toward the elimina-
ton of unnecessary traffic conges-
ton on the roads yer announced
today. A conference has been called
by the State Highway Engineer
Thomas ]. Wasser for Monday, June
20, in the commissions office in this
city to which representatives of six
of the largest gasolene distributing
companies have been invited. The
purpose Of the meeting is to provide
a solution for the problem which
has arisen out of the location of
gas tanks along the roadsides and at
important intersections of roads.
1.-THE State Highway Commission
is now confronted with a serious
problem due to the density of traffic
which is using the State Highways
of New jersey" declared Mr.. Was
ser today. Serious accidents have
already occurred and traffic has
been unnecessarily congested at sew
eral points along the highway due to
the fact that garage owners and fill
ing stations have tanks located along
the highway within the graded right
of way, and also along the curbs in
municipalities. It is the intention of
the commission to endeavor to ar
rive at soUe solution of the prob
lem as to the probable location of
tanks in the future and also what is
to be done with the gas tanks that
are already placed"
Another problem relating to con-
gestion which is confronting the
highway commission has to do with
the practice of farmers and garden
producers generally in establishing
sales stands along the right of way
in front of their properties for the
of soliciting business from
passing motorists.
Hereafter automobiles which have
burned or met with other accidents
will not be permitted to remain on
the roads for several days. it was
announced by Mr.. Wasser, who said
that the highway commission has de-
cided on a policy Of immediate re-
moval of all such distractions and
ena to safe travel on the high
ways.

BILLS OPPOSED
Measures Intended to StabiI-
ize Coal Business and Fix
Seasonal Rates
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
Washington Correspondent OF Eve
Uino News

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 10
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. Cushing. managing
director of the American Wholesale
Coal Association.
These two bills. Nos. S SO and 54,
are mex 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,
now under discussion. is disposed of.
Senator Frelinghuysen framed these
bills and reported them to the Sen
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 unqualifiedly
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 81, 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
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 whCle," said Senator
Frelinghuysen in his report to the
senate. 1.-THE capacity output of all
tbs Goa mines assuming fair con-
slant operation, would far exceed
present consumption. The output
of all these mines. working as at
present only intermittently during
the spring and summer months and
working to capacity during the fall
and winter months is barely suff1-
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
that scarcity prices prevail.
