GOODRICH UP AGAINST IT ON COAL PRICES

Threatens Operators if They Don't Heduoe Prices—They Reply "We Will if You Show Us How."

WASHINGTON, D. C„ July 17.— •Joverner Jnous P. Goodri'.a. of lvdiana, who tackel the coal problem It, his own state without much succes.has brought his troubles to congress •i Mr. Goodrich explains everything but how coal prices can be kept down in ij face of car shortage, labor shortage. ja and the greatest demand for coal ever jp known in history. This is the little 0 job Mr. Goodrich wants congress tt. i take off his hands.

I Goodrich today showed the interstate 1 commerce committee of the senate that the price of $3 a ton at the rninf s recently agreed on by the coal oper-j ators and the Peabody committee of the council of national defence Is near100 per cent too high, according tt notion. he Indiana governor practically put it u to oongrees to enact laws fixing JH. the c« of ooa'. or to give some comv*f mission that authority, saying that if jM congress did not do so he would call a special session of the Indiana legislature to repulate coal prices in his state

Agreement Sent Prices Up. After scoring the price, as agreed on the operators and the Peabody com- I Eft it tee. Gov. Goodrich read letters Into tine record from various Indiana manu£3cturern showing that the Peabody I agreement had caused coal prices to go Up instead of down in Indiana. Before the agreement was reached, he showed, Indiana consumers were paying $2.2f. at the mine for their coal. After the agrement was reached, $2.76 was the Avernge price.

From his five years' experience ar president of a coal company and hi* 4 several years' experience as receiver of fj a railroad, Gov. Goodrich declared hp was in a position in know that $1.50 1 co\ ered the ci-s'. of co-.il at the m.ne. 1 including all items such appropriat'cr.s for deficiency funds, appropriai j. t.ons for rep'aoement of capital, etc i-4 He declared tho operators had t«»l.l "Sfjni $1.49 would cover the cost, "tak1J ing their own fiKures, he said, $1.75 n ~g'| ton would be a reasonable price.

Tells of Indiana Prob*.

The Investigation of the Indiana coal situation, which is exactly like tho Illinois coal situation, made by the Indiana public service commission. «. Was gone Into at length by the Indiana 3 governor. He read from the testimony

Of the operators to show that they saici 5 at the beginning of the Investigation 1 that if th* transportation system were 1 normal, prices would go back to nor*j iBal.

Governor Goodrich then said that the railroads In Indiana are furnishing the coal operator* with 100 per cent ,, service. "Despite this fact," he said, "prioee have not gone down. They seem to be going up."

».

When confronted with their testimony and apked why they did not lower prices now that the transportation ii of coal cars 1s normal, the coal men replied that operators In other states" jrere getting the high prices, and they saw no reason why they should not gat them also, according to Grjodrlch-

Fi-xed Prioes Urged.

Recommendations for federal laws to fix the price of coal were made by the governor at the suggestion of compittee member's. He said a oommisfclon should be empowered to fix pricee in either of

two

ways—first, the

'should be regulated in the various »J communities and carried on through to the various dealers.

I i The transportation problem should *..• be deaTt with jointly, he said, and the interstate commerce commission tdven tl\e power to adjust coal car transpor'fta..' tntlon by the x»oollng of the railroad interests, a method that has been* successfully used in Indiana, he claimed. 4l The coal men present disagreed with

J^tolm on this point, saying that car gervice was never In a more chaotic

condition, and pointed to belated shipments of freight of all kinds to prove their point-
