HARDING GIVES Up
PLAN TOBUY, SELL,
DISTRIBUTE COAL
Federal Agency System,
With Large Capital, Goes
by the Board.
CONGRESS is ADVISED.
VIII Be Content With Bill
for Supervising the
Distribution.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Definitc
abandonment of President Harding's
proposal to Congress for a Federal
coal agency. with capital TO buy, sell
and distribute coal, was announced to
the House to-day by Chairman Wins
low of the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, at the beginning of debate
on the bill to create machinery to
supervise distribution only.
The change in plans, Mr. Winslow
said, had been acquiesced in by the
President, whose suggestion for a pur-
chasing and selling agency had been
thrust into the background of con
gressional consideration almost as
soon as it was submitted.
Quoting the recommendation as con-
tained in the Presidents address to
Congress on the raj and coal ritua-
ton, the committee Chairman said in
his report on the Distribution Bill:
Since the utterance of the forego-
ing suggestion by the President, his
advisers, including members of the
voluntary committee appointed by the
President, and those also who have
advised and assisted in the prepara-
tion of this bill, have determined and
agreed that the possible plan sug-
gestcd by the President could be well
set aside and another method fol-
lowed in working out the problem.
1.-The President is in accord with this
conclusion. This bill is the outgrowth
of such determination and as such
has been considered and reported
favoraby by the Interstate Commerce
Committee"
