Evasion of Responsibility.

refusal Of both parties TO the controversy

that operators and miners can bring out

Coal Comn,ittce's work.

Late this afternoon. the President
coal committee. appointed 10 handle fuel
distribution in the present emergency,
framed rough draft of legislation TO
give the coal distribution organization
an official status and punitive powers
to enforce fair prices.
The measure as framed by the com
mittee will be presented to Congress
by the President with a recommendation
for immediate action. 1t Is fully recog-
nized by Administration leaders that the
Hoover fair price agreement, made
through the voluntary action of the
coal operators when coal prices were
low. has completely broken down in the
face OF the present demand, and sky high
prices are threatened.
AS tentatively drafted the legislation
provides for wider powers by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission In control
ling coal shipments under priority orders
and in distribution Of empty cars to the
mines. 1t creates an official status for
the Federal Fuel Distribution Commit
tee and gives 1t wide powers in recon-
mending to the Interstate Commerce
Commission the delivery or the with
holding OF cars and direction OF coal
movement.
While the Interstate Commerce Com
mission now has power TO issue priority
orders and direct traffic IN an emergency,
II cannot. without some contributory
cause, directly withhold cars from d
mine charging exorbitant prices or check
the delivery OF coal TO persons or locali-
ties where dealers charge exorbitant or
profiteerirg prices. The Commission
was created to prevent discrimination
and such a course without direct au-
thorization by law would, officials be-
lieve create a bad precedent and might
be attacked in the courts.

The action of the United States Steel

that the wages of the employees OF
the corporation and it's subsidiary COM
panies would be increased beginning
September / was followed almost inn
mediately by similar announcements
from the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company and the Midvale Steel and

Independent steel producers. 1t Is ex-
pected that other independent COM
panies will announce wage increases
within the next few days, although at
the offices OF both the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and the Crucible Steel
Corporation it was said that no action
regarding wages had been taken.
Both the Midvale Steel and Ord
nance Company and the Youngstown
company said that they would follow
the lead of the Steel Corporation The
increase in all cases will be 20 per
cent. for day labor, with equitable
adjustment for other classes of en-
ployees. The action of the Steel Cor
poration alone will affect approximate
ly 10000 workers and, according to
estimates based upon the total amount
of wages paid in 1921. will add between
