Pennsylvania Governor Pro- poses That Interstate Com merCe Commission Probe Coal Transportation Rates WANTS USERS GUARDED AGAINST HIGHER PRICES Plans To Invite Governors To Investigate Profits Made By Wholesalers, JobberS And Retailers

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 9.-(By Associated Press.)-Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania tonight made public letter to President Coolidge sug- gesting that with an anthracite coal supply assured this coming winter as 6 result of the agreement reached by representatives of operators and miners here last night. steps be taken to safeguard the consumer against increased prices.
 The governor proposed that the interstate commerce commission in vestigate coal transportation rates with view to reducing them. He also told the President he was pre- pairing to invite the governors or anthracite using states to go into the matter of margins and profits of wholesalers, brokers, jobbe<s and retailers with him.
 Governors Letter.
 Governor Pinchot at the outset of his letter to President Coolidge ex- pressed thanks for a telegram of con- gratulations received from the Presi- dent, but he did not make public the text of the message.
 The governors letter to MT. Cool idge follows:
 "Dear MT. President: Now that the danger of strike in the anthracite field is disposed of for two years, would like not only to thank you again for your telegram of congrat- llation. but to express my very great appreciation of your public approval of the terms of settlement which suggested and of the very valuable information which was supplied to me by the United States coal commits sion at your direction.
 .Both tmtners and operators de- serve great credit for their cour- tesy. their readiness to consider each others points of view, and their pa tient willingness to stay on the job. emphasize the latter particularly because l doubt if any of them had the slightest expectation when they came to Harrisburg that the meet ings would last more than a day or two, or that the strike would be set tied.
 Next Question Is Price.
 "A supply of anthracite to the consumer for the next two winters having thus been assured, the next question Is that of price The total legitimate increase in the cost of coal ,under the terms of the settlement is about 60 cents per ton. Of this amount not less than 10 cents should properly be taken up by all the op- orators, many of whom could absorb the whole of the 60-cent increase and still make abundant profits.
 "In fairness the remainder of the 60 cents should never reach the con sumer, It is certain, however, that this amount, and probably much more will be exacted from con sumers unless public action is taken to prevent it.. Accordingly, since
