CLAIM MINES ARE
over DEVELOPED
U. S. Fuel Commission Warns
Investors to Shun New
Coal Ventures

Washington, d. C.-Studies of the
United States Coal Commission al
ready have developed the conclusion
among its members that the bitumi-
nous coal mining industry in the Unit
ed States is over developed, and that
good business and good citizenship re-
quire investors to cease from embark
ing upon new coal mining operations,
according to a statement just made
public. Except in a few localities,
where transportation conditions may
modify the general rule, the commits
sion asserted, increased mining activ-
ity will do harm. The present exces-
sive coal mining capacity, the com
mission further said, cannot for long
lower the price OF coal simply be-
cause that conditions of things is
wasteful"
Too many soft coal miners and too
many miners describe the situation in
plain English" the commissions
statement said. "In these coal mines
more capital is invested and more
miners are employed than are needed
to produce the coal the country re-
quires. This condition. of course, in
wolves waste on a countrywide scale
How to dehate the coal industry is
one Of the many problems before the
commission. 1t seems plain enough,
however, that the industry should not
be further inflated by opening new
mines"
Existing bituminous mines, the
statement continued can produce,
theoretically. a billion tons of coal per
year, while the country consumes
only a half billion tons. The result,
in some places. is to brin= about, the
commission said, a mine working
time which is too short to pay ade-
quately owners or miners"

new "DRY" RULING
BY SUPREME COURT
State and Nation Can Try the
Same Case in Violation of
Liquor Laws

Washington, d. C.-Two cases con-
sidered by the government of major
Importance in the enforcement of ma
tional prohibition were decided by
the United States Supreme Court. In
one OF them, coming from the State
OF Washington, the government
scored a sweeping victory, the court
holding that both the federal and a
state government can prosecute and
punish the same unlawful act in the
manufacture, possession, transporta-
ton or sale of Intoxicating liquors.
The other case, coming from Cali
fornia, the government lost in its con-
tention that in the enforcement of ma
tional prohibition an executive officer
can impose and collect as taxes the
assessments and penalties imposed
by those sections of the revised stat
utes which remain unrepealed by the
Volstead act and which became law
while the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquor was not prohibited.
The effect of the prohibition amend
ment, the court stated in an opinion
by Chief Justice Taft, was to estab.
lish prohibition in every part Of the
United States, affecting transactions
which are essentially local or intra-
state, as well as those pertaining to
interstate or foreign commerce. The
power to take legislative measures to
make the policy effective existed in
Congress, the court continued. Gin re-
spect Of the territorial limits of the
United States and at the same time
the like power of the several states
within their territorial limits shall
not cease to exist"
Referring to the contention by the
defendants that they could not be
placed in double Jeopardy, the court
explained that the meaning of the
term double jeopardy as used in the
fifth amendment to the constitution
referred to "a second prosecution un-
der the authority of the federal gov
ernment after a first trial for the
same offense, under the same author
ity." An act denounced as "a crime
by both national and state sovereign
ties" the court said, "is an ofTense
against the peace and dignity of both
and may be punished by each"
If such a construction did not apply.
the court stated, il would be easy to
imagine the rush Of offenders to state
courts to plead guilty. If by SO doing
they could obtain immunity from fed
eral prosecutions for the same act.
