BIG BUSINESS WANTS TO
CONTROL ALL COAL INDUSTRY
WASHINGTON. D. C., July 27.—
Government control or private con
trol—-vhich shall it be? Ths is the
question involved in the wrangle
over coal!
President Wilson thinks it time
1o call a halt on speculation in this
necessity. He favors the plan for
control worked out by the federal
trade commission. Secretary of
War Baker agrees with him. as do
Secretary ot the Navy Daniels and
ori j Get eral < Iregorv.
Opposed to the president are
Kranklin K. Dane, secretary of the'
interior, a : th< big < : iperator
who make up the coal committee ot
the advisory • mm-il of nitionai do-!
fer.se. This is tin com mitt* : headed
by F. S Pen'mey.
Added to this opposition is
group of powerful railroad bankers.!
hvr.dad by what is known as the;
"so <-l trust crowd." who control th j
railroad ... h ■ ,including real'
...
dustry.
These p.'.-riots are not averse to
taking a faitid... price for coal, even

Ex-Governor Fort of New Jersey,
onw a member ot the federal trade
commission, played the game of the
privileged interests, as led by Pea
body and Lane.
Fort sat in on their ‘‘conference’
.it which it was agreed that a price
of $2 be made for coal at the mouth
of tiie mine. Fort’s presence, like
that of Secretary Lane, seemed to
give offuial color of an action that
was unauthorized and illegal under
tli ’ Sherman law. Secretary Baker
called attention to this fact in his
now famous letter.
The truth is that the price- of
coal at the mine is not what
counts. Cars at the mine are Hit
necessity. Tin re al co,-.l barons are
the car barons. The real -oal trust
is the railroad trust, ar.d until the
i oal carrying laciiiti. s are taw led
LOCAL ITEMS.
Fish, the succulent salmon feeder
of mail and dog ill this northern
clime, is r. ported to be short this
season along the coast and in the
rivers. That is the regular run ot
silver sides and dog salmon are not
showing up so plentiful as in former
years. Keports however show that
in other sections and in the Yukon
this is the biggest salmon year in a
long time. There is no explanation
ottered for the shortage here. It
may be they are later than usual.

golden eagles which he donated xc

and brought under control of the
government the coal famine will not
be relieved.
The president knows this, ar.d so
do Baker. Daniels. Gregory and the
members of the Senate committee
in interstate commerce, who are
now getting ready a bill to carry our
the recommendations of the federal
trade commission.
Senator Poindexter, a member of
this committee, explains the math r
thus:
“t'nc'.er the proposed plan the gov
ernment would hoeom-.-. for the mo-1
mcitt. the owner or . .1 coal as it I

| Everyone would be ; id -ost plus
a reasonable profit for his service.
But the government would be
able to follow every ton of coal from
the mine to the consumer, and to
see that the consumer is served and
that the middleman does not extort
j famine or panic profit.-’
One by-product cf the coal tight
