P|NCHOT REVEALS
COAL CONTROL PLAN
State Union Compact Pro-
poses Drastic Regulation
of Anthracite Industry.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, December s.
Details of his plan for a compact of
states to regulate the anthracite coal
industry, which Gov. Pinchot pro-
posed last Monday at a conference
here of representatives of Anthracite
consuming states, were made public
by the governor today. The COM
plete outline was sent last night to
the other executives. together with
an invitation to another meeting here
December 13.
The compact, the governors outline
said. after being ratified by any
states. including Pennsylvania. which
together consumed an agreed per-
centage of the anthracite output in
1922. could become effective in the
ratifying states when consented to by
Congress. Gov. Pinchot proposed it
then do. among other things, the
following:
DeclSSe the coaI business within
the ratifying states Il public utility.
which Gov. Preus of Minnesota last
week asked that Pennsylvania alone
do without the formation of COM
pact.
Create a Joint commission of five If
the federal government does not
ratify the compact and seven If it
does, the President in the latter case
TO appoint one member and the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania in any case to
appoint one. the others to be chosen
by the ratifying states, each having
weight in proportion to the per-
centage of coal consumed during the
preceding year.
Would Create Commission.
Create "A Pennsylvania coal commits
sion, consisting OF the Pennsylvania
member of the joint commission as
chairman, the chairman of the state
public service commission and the
state attorney general: the commits
sion TO have wide powers to investi-
gate and regulate the industry.
He proposed to confer on the joint
commission greater powers to con-
troll the industry, giving 1t the right
to investigate all phases of the buSi-
ness. such as costs. profits. wages
and salaries: authority to fix prices
and to require uniform accounts and
REPORTS and to fix standards of coal;
power to license dealers and TO ap-
portion the coal supply and to recon-
mend to the Interstate Commerce
Comm iSSion changes in freight rates
and allotment of railway facilities.
The plan also would give the COM
mission the right to raise rever~,
for salaries and expenses by a spe-
ciiic tax per ton.
The outline cited previous compacts
between states and legal decisions
upholding them. and summarized
what the governor declared would
be the value of the proposed union.
one feature being, he said, that 1t
would give IL uniform and unbroken
system of control from the mine to
the consumers bin and unity of mind
and legislation by the United States
and ratifying states.
