LEGISLATION
ON FUEL GOES
ON IN CONGRESS
Senate Committee To-day
Voted Favorable Re-
port on Cummins' Bill to
Create Coal Distribution
Agency and Extend Au-
thority Over Priority

Washington, D. G., Aug 2s (By the
Associated Pressl While committee
meetings Of the Senate and House were
at work to-day to perfect coal dis
tribution legislation recommended by
the administration, President Harding
and his advisers prepared to bring to
bear all the powers they now possess
for improvement of fuel transporta-
tion facilities.
AS result Of the presidents week
end conference it was indicated that
be still believed It would be possible to
restore normal conditions without
resort to government operation Of rail
and coal properties affected by the
strike situation and that he felt much
could be done in that direction even
before Congress acts TO create fuel
distribution agency and to clothe the
Interstate commerce commission with
additional powers over priority.
just what legislative steps are in
contemplation to facilitate coal ship
ments was not revealed, but it was in
dicated that both the interstate COM
merce commission and the emergency
fuel distribution machinery already set
up would be relied on to provide effec-
tive measures to protect the interests
Of the public. There were fntimations
that in order to get the maximum re-
suits, curtailment of passenger, ex-
press and freight traffic in all com
modities except fuel and essential
foodstuffs, was among the possibilities.
Chairman Cummins, who has advo-
Gated steps to authorize presidential
operation of roads and mines, would
not discuss the Mayfower conversation
on his return to the Capitol to-day,
but he indicated that he might not of
fer for the present the authorizating
legislation he had prepared.
With little discussion and no record
vote. the Senate committee voted
favorable report to-day on the Cum
minis bill TO create a coal distribution !
agency. and TO extend the authority
of the interstate commerce commission
over priority Of shipments and it was
Indicated that the measure probably |
would be taken up in the Senate itself |
later in the week. There was notice |
ably increased optimism at the White
House to-day over the anthracite sit
uation, officials close TO the president |
indicating that they expected some
agreement within forty-eight hours
that would insure a resumption of
hard coal production.
A new high water mark for coal /
loadings since the strike began was an.
nounced by the Association OF Railway |
Executives. whose figures for last Fri
day. the latest available, shows that /
on that day 2l ,s66 cars were loaded.
