| En- fWeS NDtCiIt
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April o.
Hope that a plea for use of Indiana
mined coal by Hoosiers is being
needed for relief of depression OF
the coal industry in the state, is
voiced by David Robb. president of
District II. United Mine Workers OF
America. in a statement issued here.
The question of home conSump-
/ ton of Indiana coal has taken on
new life since we attended the fuel
conference at Purdue" Robb de-
clares. 1T will be a surprise to
many to know that some Of the
leading men Of the state have be-
come interested in the subject as
never before
Continuing. the statement says:
Our statesmen and scientists are
ready and willing to help the coal
operators and miners are willing to
put our great deposits before the
public at prices within the reach of
| domestic, commercial and industrial
users, and handlers Of coal It is
by such means that We propose to
interest the public of Indiana in a.
great home productive second in
duStry in the State-whiCh has been
at their command. but has not been
taken advantage Of by those who
need the coal.
There is only one interest that
can be opposed to this campaign
for the purchase of Indiana coal.
namely. the railroads, not all of
them, but most of the great trans
portation lines do not purchase our
product to any appreciable degree.
Low Price Factor
There are two reasons, first the
long haul from the coal fields far
removed from Indiana with the
extra money advantage in haulage;
second. the low purchase price of
coal to the railroads, which they
patronize outside of Indiana. AS
to the first, the consumer pays for it
but the second is a double aspect
all coal purchased outside of In
diana cheapenS the cost Of railroad
coal in Indiana-hitS the operators
and miners either way and demon
allies the industry.
IF this be so. and it has not been
successfully contradicted, then we
are helping people who are doing
nothing for us; we are affording
them protection and franchise that
is not reciprocated, and the people
of Indiana have been asleep.
Cites Importance
But it is to be hoped We have
seen the last of this public lethargy
towards an industry SO important to
the state and means so much to the
employers and employees in the pro-
titable mining Of cOal-an American
standard of living for the mines and
fair returns for the operates.
I'VE must get aid Of all the people
Of na-statesmen, churchmen
lawyers and laymen-in the interest
of Indiana products, especially coal.
It needs q boost from every Hoosier
whose influence is of any value. We
will then solve the problem by con-
centrated effort"
