PRICE CONTROL
 WILL BE NEEDED,
 HOOVER ASSERTS
No Serious Shortage Expect ed if Miners Go Back to
 Work Within Thirty Days
By Associated Press

Washington, August 17.-Early resumption of coal production in the union fields covered by the Cleveland agreement was looked to today by administration officials to avert fuel troubles throughout the country next winter.
 If the miners in these fields return to work within the next few days. Secretary Hoover declared, there should be no serious shortage of coal, Production of approximately 10,o00.- 900 tons of coal weekly will De needed, according to Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer.
 Even with adequate production, Mr. Hoover asserted. action by Con- gress will be necessary to enable federal price control temporarily
 With the resumption of mining, he said, the price situation will be quickly over. While there will be some control of distribution aud prices necessary temporarily, the matter will quickly adjust itself
 Collapse of the fair price agree ments made with producing operators. when the union mines resume pros duction was indicated by MT. Hoover. There would be then 75 or 80 dis tricts. he explained, to hold in line as to prices by voluntary means which would be an .'infeasible ma chine" considering the difficulty ex- perienced with the mines now in the price agreements.
 "RemarkabIe showinEv
 Nevertheless, MT. Hoover declared, the results of the fair price agree ments thus far have constituted remarkable showing" with 70 per cent of the coal now moving being handled under the established max imums of from s220 to s2.75 a ton.
 Emergency price control legislation which, it is understood. President Harding will suggest In his message to Congress tomorrow, would apply oEly to coal moving in interstate commerce, in the opinion of the Sec- retary of Commerce. According 10 the best advice at hand, he contended, the federal authorities cannot ex- tend to coal transportation within the state. The control of speculation and prices on intrastate sales would be up to the state authorities
 State authorities, he believed woifll have the power to regulate coal prices during the emergency, espe- cially if the federal government act ing nationally gave the states the framework to build upon. He ad- vanced the opinion that the federal government could control prices charged by operators for coal in in- terstate commerce and could deliver coal over the state line at tai- prices" After which the price prcb- lem would be one for the states.
 Devices for fixing coal prices by federal agencies, Mir. Hoover believed, would be left to Congress- but ne gave the impression that early ac- tion on fuel legislation was ex- Iected.
