CONGRESS SEEKS To
FIX COAL. OUTPUT
Opinion Handed Down BY Justice
Bailey, Says Federal Govern
ment Now Lacks Authority

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. The
opinion of Justice Jennings Bailey,
of District Supreem court, that the
congress has no power to regulate
or control the price or production
of coal, may prompt congress to take
action acquiring that power, in anoth-
er session, it is said to be probable.
The opinion of Justice Bailey was
expressed following his action IN
striking out an amended appeal by
the Federal Trade Commission
against the previous action of the
court in enjoining the commission
from requesting information as to
the cost of coal production.
The opinion, in part says, The
question is not whether or not a state
may regulate the price and produc-
tion of coal on the theory that it is
impressed with a public interest, but
whether such power has been given
to congress, and l find no such pow
er. The mere fact, if it be true,
that coal is impressed with a public
interest does not transfer the juris
diction Of it's control from the states
to congress.
"The commission seems to confuse
articles shipped in commerce with
instrumentalities Of commerce. The
power to regulate the latter does not
include power to regulate the former.
Nor does the fact that the article is
necessary for the operation of an
instrumentality of interstate com
merce make it subject to regulation
by congress. If this were true, con-
gress would have the power to regu-
late the production of steel neces-
sary for the construction of locomo-
tives lumber for the construction of
coaches; rubber for the construction
of springs; food and clothing for the
sustenance Of crews. In fact, there
Is almost no article that might not
be included in this manner"
The decision has caused the ''radi-
Gals in congress and the the ''pro-
gressives" to consider plans whereby
new law might eliminate the weight
of the courts decision.

FARMING IN COLQUITT
is WELL ADVANCED

MOULTRIE, Feb. 13,-Despite the
fact that the season has been rather
wet farmers in the Moultrie terri
tory are further advanced with their
land preparations than they have
been at this date in February in sew
eral years. This is explained large
ly by the fact that great deal of
blowing was done last fall. The cot
ton crop was gone by October 1 and
as part of their plan to fight the boil
weevil scores of farmers turned in
their stalks during October and No

Delegate Dan Speaks

Reiterating his charges that the Alaska fisheries were being given away to the Chicago and San Fran cisco fish trust, Delegate Dan Sutherland addressed a crowd here on Tuesday night, at joint ses- sion of the territorial legislature. He urged the lawmakers to pass the Grant fish memorial and to auth orize the attorney general 10 pro- ceed with an investigation of the reservation policy to the end that relief may be obtained from the courts. .... as
 Asked by Representative Foster if Hoover, O'Malley or Gilbert are sincerely attempting to do something to aid Alaska fisheries, the dele gate declined to give his opinion at 6 public meeting. He said he felt it to be beneath his dignity to ex- press an opinion in view of the statements issued, and asserted that the reservation policy and abrogation of fisheries rights in Alaska is not the temporary expedient claimed by the department. but is an attempt by the department 10 give the fisheries rights away. He claims that if the system is maintained for one year or two more, it would mean the pas sing of such rights forever, into the hands of the fisheries trust.
