SAYS COAL TRUST
f. IN OPERATION HERE
Judge Bland Tells Lions Club
Citizens Should Take
Action.

A coal trust or combine exists in
Washington. making things un-
comfortable for independent dealers
that they had 70 give up their busi-
ness, Judge Oscar X Bland, former
representative from Indiana, told
members of the Lions Club in the
New Willard Hotel yesterday.
"Citizens of the city should arouse
themselves, obtain the aid of civic
organizations and, through the De-
partment of Justice. have a thorough
investigation made of the coal situa-
ton here. which is deplorable," said
the speaker.
Government operation of coal
mines is not favored by Judge Bland
unless the situation becomes so acute
that it would be necessary to take
this step by the government taking
over the mines 1t should only be to
break the stranSle hold of the coal
men, he said
The speaker said further that there
are now in operation in this country
too many coal mines. He declared
the railroads should be compelled to
store enough coal in the summer to
care for their needs in case strike
should come He intimated that II
looks as if the threatened strike OF
the anthracite miners would fail He
sa id that John Lewis, head of the
miners, was true American and that
through his leadership the question
is likely to be settled.
