THREATEN TO BAN
USE OF HARD COAL
Bay State Probers Declare
Permanent Substitution of
Bituminous Likely.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON. August 6.-Declaring that
eff there is to be any strike it is the
public's turn to strike" the joint
special coal investigating committee
OF Massachusetts, in a letter today
served notice on representatives of
both operators and miners that in the
event of a strike September /. a per-
manent boycott against the use of
anthracite would be pushed in Massa
chusetts and possibly throughout New
England. Plans to have all of the
New England states discard anthra-
cite permanently in favor of low
volatile bituminous coal would be
laid before the conference of New
England governors in Boston August
20. the committee announced.
IT is estimated that New England
consumes one-fifth of the anthracite
produced in the United States.
Letters Sent Leaders,
Letters were sent to John l.. Lewis.
president of the United Mine Work
ers' of America. and to S d. War
riner. chairman of the anthracite
operators general policies committee.
"Anthracite has become at once I'M
certain in supply and expensive at
most TO the point of being a luxury
the committee wrote.
"A still further increase in price
templated cessation of mining will,
unless the situation is relieved
promptly, bring further suffering to
many and possibly death to some of
nP0nlR
Anthracite No Necessity.
"A recurrence of the situation of
last winter will clearly indicate that
the people of Massachusetts, in de-
pending upon anthracite as their
chief domestic fuel, have mistakenly
| intrusted TO you the duty of pro-
| viding an uninterrupted supply.
Fuel is a necessity of life. An
| thracite is not. The MaSsa :
chusetts consumption of anthracite
for years represented the difference
| between profits and huge losses to
| the industry, and to miners. at least
many thousands of them. the diner
enCe between employ ment ana nom
employment
| However. if you choose to betray
the trust reposed in you by the peo-
! pie of Massachusetts to supply them
with fuel with due regularity anu a.
/ fair and reasonable prices, this COM
mittee believes the consumers should
consider whether they Will not be
/ far better off by permanently dis
pensng with the use of anthracite, so
that the present winter will mark the
! end of your power to cut of their
! fuel supply at will"
Recalls Boston Tea Party.
The committees letter said that
the patience of the anthracite con-
Stunning public is strained to the
breaking point 1t will brook no
further stoppage in it's fuel supply"
Announcing it's intention to pass
vigorously a boycott should a strike
take place, the committee said: THE
| tempers of the descendants and sue
cesSorS Of those, who participated
! In the Boston tea party and who
! fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill
| is not such that they will deal further
( with those to whom they have en-
trusted the duty of supplying them
with SO viatl necessity as fuel should
that trust be further abused for self

that a woman can direct the nat

To TREAT TREE
INJURIES
Wounds Left BY Recent Storms
Should Be Repaired,
Owners Advised.

Being flooded with requests for
advice on how.to treat trees injured
during the recent Ice storm, the
United States Department of Agri-
future today issued a bulletin CIV
ing q number of suggestions.
THE first thing that should be
DONE" begins the bulletin, els to
remove such large broken branches
as are now, or may become, q
menace to life and property; this
Is usually done by cutting at the
point where broken. Attention
should then be given to injuries
on the main trunk.
III the limbs have been split, or
partially split, from the main trunk,
all splintered wood about the wound
should be removed with a sharp
gOuge and mallet, il not 30 situated
that It can be sawed off.
The bulletin reminds that. in no
part of repair work should climb.
ing spurs be used on a tree.
Remember" the bulletin con.
cludes. that prevention is better
than cure. The open wound of to.
day becomes the decayed spot OF
next year and the deep rotten cavity
Of ten years from now. It is better
to spend q few days or dollars in

other complaint against the non.

who they charge with .'gouging''
the public.
Formal charges against the West
Virginia operators have already
been lodged with the United states
Coal Commission.
The fact that nonunion coal COM
panies of West Virginia are gouging
the pccketboolSs Of coal consumers
- disclosed by quotations Of prices
published In papers that represent
these companies; Ellis Searles OF
the United Mine Workers, declared
today
These quotations. q he continued,
s'show that prices charged by coal
companies for coal at nonunion
mines Iii West Virginia are APP
proximateIy double what they were
one year ago, although there has
been no increase In the cost Of pro-
duction In that time and the COM
panies are not paying their miners
any higher wages now than they
paid year ago. It Is merely q
case 81 piling up huge additional
profits.
Goal prices at the mines have
been boosted In other sections Of the
country Also but the increases do
not even approach the robber figures
