STATE r. r. COMMISSION MAY
DISTRIBUTE N. d. COAL

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 5.-The state
railroad commission, as the fuel ad-
ministrative agency for the state, to-
day was engaged in preparations for
a complete survey of the coal condi-
tions in North Dakota, with view
of taking such action as it finds pos
sible to provide an ample and suita-
BILE distribution of coal during the fall
and winter.
The immediate object of the survey
planned is, first, to learn the amount
of fuel public utilities have on hand,
their needs and the assurance they
have, if any, of a continued supply;
second, to obtain from the railroads
comprehensive report of the coal
car situation and definite information
as to whether or not the railroads
can meet the demands of Ignite
mines; and third, to determine the
need of general industries of the
state.
The commission, according to
Chairman Milhollan, has settled upon
policy Of seeing that North Dakota
is provided with an ample supply of
Ignite coal before demands from out
side the state are met. 1t has also
decided that steam utilities in the
state shall use Ignite coal this year
the chairman added. This rule would
apply to all utilities where possible
and Chairman Milhollan expressed
the opinion that only the three gas
utilities in the state need to use an
other kind of coal.
A conference of all of the larger
coal operators of the state has beer
called for the morning of Wednesday
Aug. 9, to consider the situation.
Operate Under Orders
The commission will, it is expected
operate under priority orders issued
by the national fuel administration
At present there is no plan to issue
priority orders for movement of Goa
within the state, but the railroad com.
mission chairman held that this is &
possibility as the commission goes
further into the situation. One OBJ,
ject of such orders would be, it is
stated, to insure an amply supply Of
coal for the state.
The commission chairman said that
he had wired Secretary of Commerce
Hoover asking for information as tt
the power of the state commission
if any, to regulate the price Of coal ir
North Dakota. The commission would
endeavor to see that fair price leve
is maintained, it was added.
Thus far, according to operators ir
this section, there has been little de-
lay occasioned by lack Of cars, the
railroads providing plenty Of them il
spite of the strike conditions. There
is, however, a shortage of labor anc
it is doubtful if this will be mitigatee
during the harvest season. Goa
operators expect many of the workers
coming into the state for the harves
to remain and work in the "stril
mines. .--.-<r

issued long statement in which he
said in part:
"As l view Justice Cropseys decision
he does not attack the legality of these
markets or the collection of the weekly
fee of one dollar from each peddler. The
Justice simply finds fault with the dis
position of the moneys collected. There
fore the only thing required TO continue
these markets is to make some provision
for the payment of the supervisors from

REMEDY found
FOR WALK0UTS
Officials Have Ser
les of Joint Committees
and Pass The Buck
Along.

LONDON. - Railway officials Of
Great Britain hope that at last they
have found a means of preventing
strikes. Elaborate machinery has just
been devised with that end in view
This includes series Of joint com
mittees and councils leading up to
central railway councils for each rail
road.
1t will work in this way. When
a dispute arises in one locality il will
be referred to local committee. II
the committee fails to agree, the
question then may be referred by
either side to central railway coun-
ell. If this in turn fails, the dispute
goes before the council for the whole
railroad.
Failure Of this council to end the
dispute will send 1t automatically to
the central wages board.
The scheme was adopted after long
negotiations between managers Of
the railways and representatives Of
the three unions Of railway men.
Leaders Of ;hc unions say this ma
chincry Is as elaborate as human
ingenuity can devise.
