commission in its. efforts to end
the constantly recurring troubles in
the coal fields, and the difficulties
consumers experience, periodicals.,
IN obtaining needed supplies.
REMEDY IMPERATIVE.
Chairman Hammond expects 20
be- able to make further report
on the commissions activities and
findings about July /. The com.
mission win conclude its work not
later than September 20.
Mr.. Hammond believes that aside
from limiting the number Of mines
TO the operators, and pairing the
number Of coal miners, now asserted
to be thousands above the number
required, the matter Of Transports
ton and adequate storage facilities
for coal demands immediate remedy.
It was indicated that Overtures
win soon be made by the commits
sion to the railroads requesting
them to provide greater storage
facilities, particularly at divisional
points. In Government circles,
there ID abundant criticism Of the
railroads policy Of taking advantage
of questionable prerogatives In COM
Wandering coal. when q shortage
IS either apparent or enforced.
UPSETS PRICES.
Such action, on the part OF the
carriers, has q two-fold bad In
Ifluence-it upsets prices to the con-
suners, and demands long use Of
cars, which otherwise might be
more profitab1y employed In hand
ling freight, IL the coal held could
be diverted to storage.
Similar overtures win be made TO
the larger industrial concerns and
public utilities Of the country and
to the consumer.
1.-THE consumer has to participate
in this effort or there viii be little
good accomplished" said Chairman
Hammond. 1.-THE public has q
great deal Of responsibility in aid
ing the Government to adjust the
chaotic coal situation. II people
viii get away from the tendency to
only buy coal, when it. is absolute
lily necessary, and at q time when
every one wants it, they viii DO
a lot toward aiding the sOlu; ion.
This phase Of the investigation
viii be dealt with in the commas
