There has been evident, both at the

utilities from other states where coal
is being produced.
No special effort, it was announced
fatty at the White House, would be
made to provide coal for any particu-

terms of coal for the whole country,
enough to prevent any suffering, and
the most possible to keep industry go
ing. States which are worrying about
coal, but have plenty within their own
borders, will be given little considera-
ton, it was said by the White House
spokesman.
1t is admitted at the White House
that there will be some temporary en-
barrassments and hardships because of
the lack of COAL but it was said posi-
lively that there would be coal sup

Promises to Submit Prob

the House ReasseRlbles

LANSING, Mich, July 28.-The coun-
try must deal by legislation with the
assumption by the miners union of
national dictation' in the present coal
dispute, President Harding said in a
letter to Governor Alex J. Groesbeck
of Michigan, made public here to-day.
The President promised to present the
problem to Congress at the earliest OPP
portunity.
The Presidents declarations, in eff
feet, that the Federal government is
powerless to interfere with the atti-
tude of the United Mine Workers
toward independent local agreements,
and that at present nothing can be
done except to enable men willing to
work to work in safety, drew sharp
disagreement from Governor Croes beck.
Replying to the letter from the
President, Governor Groesbeck de-
clared he could not concede the Federal
government has not the power "to pro-
tect our citizens from the embarrass-
ing situation that faces u.s."

Replying to Governor Groesbeck's

gan the President said:
al do not know whether you have the

present, in the absence of law to guar

able men willing to work to do so in
perfect safety. | do not think this

ance that state authority and Federal

tect every man in the pursuit of law

National Policy an Obstacle
ut is a matter of record that coal
operators and mine workers in many
districts have been quite ready to come
to an understanding in very short or
der. but the policy Of the national Or
ganization is hostile to any district OF
state arrangement. This, apparently
is one of the issues involved and is one
which must be definitely settled. l do
not know of any way of settling it un-
der the legal authorities which are now
possessed by either state or Federal
government.
"Manifestly, legislation must be pro
vided, and l mean to submit the whole

consistent time possible after the

BETTER SYSTEM
DEMANDED IN
HANDLING MILK
Farmer Has to Pay the
Loss In Present Inef-
ficient Methods

I Great lnefflclency in handling
milk between the farm and the city
delivery system is brought to light
! by the Investigations now being
made by the pooling committee of
the New England Milk Producers
association. 1t will be some time
before the committee is ready to
make complete report on these
inefficiencies or to present any plan
to remedy them, out enough in
formation is already in the hands
of the committee to show that the
preventable waste totals hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually.
There is little doubt in the minds
of the minds of the committee that
when all data is collected the
known loss will total more than a
million dollars annually.
The inefficiencies which have
| been brought to light are not in the
way in which individuals handle
their milk. Some are highly etfici-
ent, some are less efficient. The
losses which concern the committee
more especially are the wastes
which come through he competitive
system under which dealers buy
milk. Instead of an orderly, care
fully thought out plan for moving
the milk he shortest POSSIBLE dis
lance and at the least cost, the
present system is one of indiscrim-
mate buying, duplication of service
stations and the transportation of
large quantities of milk, at a
heavy cost, much greater distances
than are necessary.
One of the striking examples of
this inefficiency of the present
system is the fact that within 40
miles of Boston there is now a
carload of milk without a market.
1t is being made into butter. At
the same time milk is being
brought into Boston from 260 miles
away. The carload Of milk could be
brought in from the 40 mile distant
point at cost of % cents per
hundred or about $50 for the car
load. The cost of bringing milk in
from shipping point 260 miles
from Boston is sec per hundred
weight or about $172 for the car
load. The nearer milk could be
brought into Boston and the more
distant milk made into butter in
stead of being shipped. at a saving
of SIP a day or $40,8S0 year
This loss comes out of the farm
er. Under the present system of
selling milk the dealers take Out of
the delivered price the cost of
bringing milk into Boston. In this
one case they aretaking out $40,880
a year more than is necessary.
There are many such cases. The
pooling plan which is being work
ed out is intended to remedy just
such conditions as this and do
away with waste effrt and waste
money in handling milk
