RESOURCE CONTROL| BY STATES SOUGHT Hoover Administration Holds; Move in Oil and Coal In- | dustries Important. l By the Associated Press. The movement to control natural re- sources through State agreements, ex- emplified particularly by the efforts of Texas, California and Oklahoma to cur- tail oil production, is regarded by the Hoover administration as of unusual significance. R The most recent step in this direction has been taken by the bituminous coal | industry. Operators, faced with shut- | f] downs or running at a loss, have asked the Governors of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio to ap- point commissions to study the pcs-| sibility of an interstate compact con- ! trolling coal production. Lumber Men Act. There have been indications of & growing sentiment 2mong lumber men, particularly on the West Coast, to ap- ply the same principle to their industry A strong trade organization, how will be given a chance t demonstrat its ability to deal with production be fore any steps are taken toward a State compact 5 The State compact idea had its or- igin in the Colorado River Basin com- pact entered into by the States along- side that stream as the preliminary move in the building of Hoover Dam. Such action by oil-producing States was urged by President Hoover and by Secretary Wilbur early in 1920. It was discussed at length at a conference of oil State Governors at Colorado Springs in June, 1920, but no decisive action was taken. Shortly after California put | {§ into effect an oil and gas law on which | Texas and Oklahoma have besed the | Jaws dramatically applied recently at| the points of National Guard bayonets. | Within Anti-Trust Laws. Upiform State laws controliing pro- | duction. in the opinion of the Hoover administration, do not come within the ephere of the anti-trust laws, although | agreements by producers themselves to do the same thing were declared illegal by Attorney General Mitchell in the case of the oil industry. The spread of the idea to the coal industry is expected by the administra- tion to remedy some of the ills now causing heavy losses to operators and difficulties between operators and their labor. Any State compact will have to have | the approval of Congress. MAJ. VIRGIL L. PETERSON SLATED FOR PROMOTION Former Assistant Director of D. C. Parks to Get Rank of Lieutenant Colonel Within Month.
