situation in the coal industry.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-President
Harding's coal commission, appointed
to ferret out the facts about the coal
industry, began its work here today.
Six members Of the commission met
this morning in the office of George
Otis Smith, head of the United States
Geological Survey, to organize and
outline the program Of the investiga-
ton. DR.. Edward 7. Deyine, seventh
member. is in the West on a speaking
tour. Ii is generally thought that
John Hays Hammond will be chosen
to head the commission.
Prior to organizing the commission
called upon President Harding at the
White House.
As the ommissiou legins it's work
here the investigation Of the industry
by the Federal trade commission is
recalled, With the subsequent iniunc-
ton against that body prohibiting
publication of it's findings or con-
tinuation of its examination.
However, simultaneously with the
organization of the Presidents COM
mission today it was learned that fig
ures on profiteering in the conl In
dustry from 1916 to 1920 are TO be
made public soon by the Federal trade
commission.
1t is not known whether the coal
commission will examine these Zig
ures. If ii carries its work back as
far as 1920 it will probably invesj-
gale this report, which is understood
TO disclose extensive profiteerng.
Following the organization today
the commission is expected 20 proceed
spaedly with its investigation, as a
report must be submitted to Congress
the first Of the year. Announcement
has already been made that public
hearings will be held in the coal
rields
Separate reports Of the findings in
the anthracite and bituminous indus
tries will be published, though the
work viii probably be carried on
simultaneously.
