Committee Tables
Coal Act Extension

WASHINGTON. July 6 up
The House Rules committee today
laid on the table resolution to ex-
tend the Guffey Coal Act until
January l. Chairman Adolph Sab
ath, D., ILL.,, predicted the act would
die at expiration of the present
temporary extension on August %.
Proponents of the temporary ex-
tension, led by Rep. James P. Nc
Granery, D., Pa, told the rules
committee that failure to extend
the Guffey Act would block expans-
ion of the coal industry necessary
for war production.
The law, which sets up machinery
for Stabilizing the soft coal industry
through establishment of minimum
prices. has been living on borrowed
time since April 26 under resolutions
temporarily extending its life.
