TO REGULATE SHIPMENTS
OF COAL IN MINNESOTA
State Railroad and Warehouse
Commission to Check Up
Where Coal Is Going
(By United PreS.D

st. Paul, August 1.-THE state
railroad and warehouse commission
today passed resolution regulating
shipments of coal in Minnesota. At
ter the commission,s plan, each ship
per will have to obtain a permit to
ship coal so that the com mission will
be able to check up accurately where
the coal is going. ~-
Any firms charging cxhorbitant
prices will have their permits taken
away. This, Mr.. Bowen explained,
is the only way the commission can
eliminate price gouging, as it has not
the authority to regulate fuel prices.
The state must have 100000 tons
Of coal week at once if it's fuel
needs are to be met.
Ivan Bowen, fuel administrator,
made this announcement following
the statement that 200, 900 tons q
week would be available at once. The
fuel administrator announced that
the anthracite supply in Minnesota
is 100000 tons short, while it's sup
ply Of bituminous supply is five mil
lion tQns short. IT,. ~
Mr.. Bowen pointed out that Min
nesota must have its supply at once
if the fuel famine is TO be averted,
as shipping on the Great Lakes closes
in November. r.
