NATIONAL CONTROLi OF COAL INDUSTRY of commitiee (Continued from First Page.) incapacity to manage the industry effl- ciently. Three general strikes have occurred in the hard coal industry since the close of the war. Conditions have been and are still chaotic in the soft coal industry. It is obviously im- perative that the public assert its right and take a hand in regulatin this poorly ged industry. For the coal {ndustry i= g0 bound up with the public welfare that it can no longer he left uncontrolled and un- regulated.” Representative Jacobstein sald the consumer is paying for the cot of the coal strike in enhanced prices for coal new. adding that the price of hard coal has gone up far bevond the cost f living and beyond the cost of wages. It has had to o up to maintain the high-cost mines. It Is a conflict not between two classes, but an eco. nomic canflict. Perhaps some form of consalidation of coal mines will ulti- mately be necessary. just as between the railroads.” Full publicity to pre- vent excessive prices and to equalize wages was urged by the New York Representative. “Fundamental economic conditions must be considered in seeking a rem- n uninterrupted at reasonable will give the public supply of hard coal prices.

BISHOP FREEMAN SPEAKS AT NOON LENTEN SERVICE Urges Restored Expressions of Af- fection for Christ at Theater Meeting. Despite the inclement weather, nearly 1,500 people in Keith's Theater today heard Bishop James E. Free- man plead for a restoration of ex. pressions of profound affection and de- votion to Jesus Christ. Impurity I8 a great virtue miscar- rled, the bishop said. All impurity starts with a fine emotion but later grows into a hideous and frightful thing. he sald. Intemperance begins in much the same way, starting with a feeling of good fellowship for one's friend. It rapldly grows into a con- suming vice. There is nothing in the annals of history, the bishop said, that is com- parable to Christ’s rebuke to Judas for his betrayal to mankind. This lesson shows thai Jesus will forgive even the greatest of sins, the bishop said. Dr. W. Sinclair Bowen presided at the noon service today, and Rev. J. J. Mufr, chaplain of the Senate, con- ducted the services. Bishop Free- man will speak at the final session to- morrow. s Wilson Players Give Drama. The Wilson Players presented “The Intimate Strangers,” by Booth Tark- ington, at the Arts Club of Washing- ton last night. The presentation was under the direction of Aurora M. Pos- ton, who takes a leading role In the cast, and was arranged by the ¢ramatic commitiee-of the cluby Industry. When the recent strike was settled, without a wage increase, it was generally understood that the pub- lic would not be called upon to pay increased .prices for coal. In spite of this, the newspapers report that the customary Sprirg reduction of 50 cents a ton will be omitted this year.” Representative Treadway said the need for Federal regulation of the roal indusi is apparent in the Dis trict of Columbia, as shown by the recent Senate hearings and the atti- tude of the coal merchants of the District, which is simflar to that shown throughout the country. “For Instance, mining has been re- sumed under identical conditions as to cost as they existed hefore the strike last September, but prices have advanced from 75 cents to $1.50 per ton. “On the production of 300,000 tons a day, even at 50 cents per fon, it would mean an increase of $150.000 per day. We consider prices éither in _the aggregated or in cost to indi viduals, In either case the result is against the public.” Increase Since Strike. Representative Treadway also re- terred to omission of the customary 50 cents a tone reduction on April 1. “Prices have materially increased since the strike,” he said, “as shown by quotations and the further fact of the announcement from Scranton there will be no customary April re- duction. If there was one thing that the operators insisted upon more than any other during the period of the strike, it was that the cost to the consumer could not and would not be Increased. The fact that they are recouping their losses at the rate of $300,000 a day Is a direct challenge to Congress and shows their failure to comprehend that Congress will protect the public to the limit of their constitutional rights.” * Mr. Treadway criticized policles of the State of Pennsylvania as tending to keep the price of anthracite coal up. “‘There are three factors adding materially to the price,” he said, “the license law of the State, the so-called anthracite tax and the royalties.
