BY WILLIAM ENGLISH WALLING

The Nation has been powerless TO
deal with the coal problem because
Congress has failed to act. A new
Congress is in session. AS the Presi-
dent says. it must bring forward and
reconsider and act upon the recon-
mendations of the Federal Coal Com
mission.
The commissions recommendations
for dealing with emergencies should
not be allowed to get into the fore
ground. Emergency measures are
being pushed just now solely with the
design of side-tracking permanent
remedies.
Publicity as the Remedy.
The basic recommendation of the
coal commission is publicity. The
itself has already estab-
lished the principal facts. 1t wants
permanent fact-finding to keep its in
vestigation up to date. With the facts
established and known to the public
it will be comparatively easy to de-
termine just what sort and degree
of supervision and regulation" should
be intrusted to the proposed "coal
division" of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and just what are 1.-The
reasonable conditions that should be
attached to the proposed Federal
licenses for those who ship or sell
coal in interstate commerce.
SO the whole fight revolves around
publicity. The enemies of regulation
know that if the facts already estab
lished by the commission once reach
the public and if further investiga
ton and publicity are provided for,
regulation will follow-as the day fol-
lows the night. Hence the fight
against the printing of the coal COM
mission report-delayed for two whole
years and published only last month.
The facts already established by the
commission as to anthracite coal
show an intimate relation between the
perennial conflict" between capital
and labor and the permanent level
of high prices and temporary Eek

STRUGGLE In COAL INDUSTRY
REVOLVES AROUND PUBLICITY
Economist Sees No Solution Until Congress Backs Up
Report of Federal Commission for Perma-
nent FacFindng

orbitant price increases during labor
troubles. They show "a rising flood of
costs" not remedied as the Nation
hoped il would be when few years
ago a Federal statute compelled the
separation of the anthracite railroads
and the anthracite mines.
The purpose of permanent publicity.
the commission says, is that the pub
lie may always know whether the in
vestment on which a return is claimed
is fairly estimated or inflated. what
profits are made by owner. operator
and dealer. and what are the earnings
and working conditions of the min
ers''
Opposition From Owners.
There is bitter opposition to such
publicity from the owners camp. But
the coal commission, feeling it has the
support both of miners and public.
denies that in an industry so affected
with a public use there is any private
right to secrecy" either as to wages
and working and living conditions or
as to profits and costs.
The coal commission was non-par-
tisan, it was representative of the Ma
ton and it was efficient. 1t had ample
means Cs600.000) and the authority of
the Government behind it. It's recon-
mendations need not be taken as the
last word on this great question: they
may be reconsidered. but there is no
reason why, i'll order to please the
great coal interests, they should be
ignored.
These are ''our" recommendations
worked out by "our" commission. We
must stand by them-at least pro-
visionally. The burden of proof is on
those who attack them-and we have
a right to ask in every instance what
is the motive behind the attack.
If the public will insist that Con
gress. within reason. back up the coal
commission this question will be set
tied. and it will be settled right.
We shall get nowhere if we are
satisfied with a few emergency meas
ures and let this opportunity pass.
