HOOVER COMPLIMENTS
NoN-UNIoN OPERATORS

In the course OF his recent letter
to Senator Borah, in response to in
auiry concerning, the coal situation
and his views regarding the need of
legislation for the regulation Of coal
prices, Secretary Hoover had the fol-
lowing TO say in the nature of a com
pliment TO the operators Of mines in
the non-union fields:
You are aware that this tangled
legal position was the reason why ]
undertook, on May Is last, to set up
a voluntary plan with coal producers
for the restraint OF prices. II is
worth examining these results. as
bearing upon the need for legislation.
AT that time prices were agreed
upon based upon the Garfield scale
and ranged from 1920 to $3.75 for
coal at the mine wherever such vol
untary arrangements could be made.
This became effective among opera
tors producing about IS per cent OF
the current coal and served to re-
strain the rise in price until about
the middle of July, despite the fact
that a minority Of operators who
had refused to agree were securing
as much as $40 ton for coal.
after July Is one or two districts
withdrew from the arrangement, and
individual operators began to break
away in some other districts, al.
though majority of the production
has held to its undertaking right
down to the present moment and op-
orators have denied themselves lit
orally millions that they could have
obtained If it were not for their de.
sire to maintain themselves and their
industry in public repute.
Il enclose for sample a statement
showing the coal sold under the fall
price in the smokeless fields as COM

those districts"
Pointing out that "the agreements
with non-union mines expire with the
strike" Secretary Hoover asserted
that some of the fair price coal was
subsequently used for speculation, I"
and added: 1T is not fair that those
should be allowed to run loose who
would use their country's distress as
opportunity for profit"
In the concluding paragraph of his
letter, Secretary Hoover said that
the rise in prices were due mostly
to "resales at speculative prices from
stocks where state organizations
have not been effective and where
coal has been drawn from the minor
ity of coal operators who have re-
fused to cooperate in the voluntary
restraint of prices"
