Ry the Associated Press.

Two members of the Bituminous
Coal Commission lectured producers at
a hearing yesterday on the necessity of
keeping prices and price differentials
out of their proposals for the classifi-

Commissioner Percy Tetlow, labor

that many of the district boards have

law, and I am very much displeased." ."
Chairman Charles F. Hosford. ir..
also was critical of the district pro-
ducers' boards. The commission hear
ings are being devoted solely to classi-
flying Goals according to sizes and
other physical characteristics as a
basis for co-ordinating minimum prices

Sent Back for Revision.
Commissioner Hosford ordered classi-
flcation proposals for the Indiana dis
trict sent back to the district board for
revision because they included price
differentials.
TetloW, mild-spoken but firm. said ::
Il am of the opinion that no matter
how long it takes properly to classify
coal, we are going TO do that thing.
We are going to do what the law re-
quires if it takes six months to do it.
Sees Tremendous Task.
I'VE should not attempt in classify
ing Goals to get an advantage over
another producer. 1 am not accusing
the district boards of that, but We
have tremendous task here. In the
hurry to determine price diferentials,
the whole machinery is being slowed >"
Chairman Hosford read the commits
sion's order on classiflcations and said
When this commission issues an or

board to comply with that order and
