GLOBE CLOTHING NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER. 28, 192s. HOUSE SHOE DEPARTMENT 38th ANNUAL SALE OF SHOES NOW GOING ON GLOBE CLOTHING HOUSE NEW FUEL SOUACE 1S ONLY ANSWER Mass. Committee Would Turn Away From Hard Coal Idea Boston, Dec 28.—No legislation can secure a continuance and adequate supply of anthracite and only by the adoption of other available and lower cost fuels can the public solve its fuel problem says the joint special coal investigating committee in a report filed with the legislature today. The report says that there is no justifica- tion for the present retail price of $16 & ton being charged for anthracite by most Boston dealers and that the price should not exceed §15.50. The committee recommends federal legislation providing for complete pub- licity of the acecounts of the anthra- cite industry including operators and their affiliated sales organizations and transportation companies and miners’ unions, It also recommends that the president be authorized in case of actual or threatened Interruption of production to appoint a special com- mission of conciliation and inquiry; that the form of contract between operators and miners be revised and penalties be provided In case of breach by either party; that the interstate commerce commission or some other federal agency be given authority in the event of a fuel emergency to pre, vent speculation by wholesalers and jobbers in coal while in transit from the mines to the consumers and that the state of Pennsylvania repeal “the vow notorious anthracite tonhage tax.” The committee urges that congress authorize some federal agency to sttandardize the sizes and regulat the quality of anthracite shipped in interstate commerce. It favors the continuance in this state of the special commission on the necessaries of life and the emergency fuel act for a period of three years.
