FISH EXPECTS COAL
MEASURE TO PASS
Calls on President to Stress
Need of Action at This
Session of Congress.

There will be some coal legislation
passed during this session of Con-
gress. according TO the prediction
made today at the White House ny
REPRESENTATIVE Fish of New York,
who is a strong advocate of legisla-
tion that will give the Executive and
the Federal Government authority to
properly protect the public's interest
in the event of strikes or other emer-
gencies.
The New York Representative said
he realizes that there Is considerable
pressure being brought to bear upon
members of Congress to block this
legislation, but despite this he feels
confident that Congress will respond
to the demands of the coal-consuming
public and the request of the Presi-
dent by enacting legislation of a prac-
tical and helpful nature.
Stresses Questions Importance.
Mr.. Fish contends that the coal
question is a far more important one
TO the public than the average mem
Der of Congress realizes. He is of the
opinion that it is going to have a
significant effect upon the outcome
in the elections next November II
Congress fails to give the public the
relief and protection it is seeking.
During his talk with the President
today regarding coal legislation Mr..
Fish touched upon the political
aspect. He said afterWard that he
warned the latter that If Congress
continued to ignore the interests of
the public in this vital matter it
would he disa for the Repub-
lican party in New York State in the
Fall.
Just what reply the President made
to this viewpoint Mr.. Fish did not
say. Nor would he say whether or
not he gathered the impression that
the President is going to be insistent
that Congress act upon this legisla-
ton before it adjourns. He explained
that he could not repeat for publica-
ton what the President said to him.
He did say, however. that he was 60
ing back to the Capitol feeling hope.
full regarding the prospects for coal
legislation this session.
Delay Urged to Aid Industry.
The President was told several days
ago by Representatives Wyant of Penn
sylvania and Merritt of Connecticut,
members of the interstate commerce
committee, which has been handling
the various coal bills in the House,
that the coal regions are In a serious
plight as a result of the recent long
strike and that they are making
desperate effort to revive and get
back on a substantial basis, and
therefore should not be retarded by
the enactment of coal legislation.
They pointed out to the President
that any legislation at this time,
whether it be drastic or very mild in
it's scope, would have serious
psychological effect upon the coal in
dustry in It's present effort at
rehabilitation. They urged the Presi.
dent not to insist upon enactment Of
legislation at this session.
