M’CARDLE talks ON COAL PROBLEM Public Service Official Discusses Utilities Rates.

Unless the price of coal takes a drop lc the near future citizens of Indiana innst be prepared to pay higher prices (or gas. light, power and other utilities, according to a statement issued by John W. McCardle, vice chairman of the pub11', service commission. In his statement Mr. McCardle takes exceptions to the statement of the Knox County Coal Ooperators’ association that the highest price received at the mines for coal in June was $2.94. Mr. McCardle shows that the municipal plant at Richmond paid SC.iO for mine run coal of the Knox county group. The commission is helpless in efforts to keep down rates of the utilities, as long as the price of coal continues to ■oar, says Mr. McCardle. “We have been able to keep the utilities just one Jump ahead of the sheriff for the last year, just because of the increased coal prices,” he said. “Many of the utilities are now living from hand to mouth as far as coal supplies are concerned.” Mr. McCardle took occasion to defend the commission against the complaints that the body has been a “rate-raising commission” when he called attention to the fact that coal comprises 50 per cent of the operating cost of practically every utility in the state and that to meet this increased cost, increased rates ere necessary. Relative to the sitnatlon confronted by the electrical railway companies of, the state which are now petitioning for increased rates, the statement says: “A compilation of the reports received by the commission from 165 electrical utilities shows that they had on hand on July 22, 1920, a total of 79.392 tons of steam coal, as compared with 3 total of 112,483 tons on hand Aug. 1, 1919. Their total daily consumption Is 8,277 tons. “If this coal were equally distributed among all the plants it would amount to a fifteen-day supply. Some of the utilities had on hand a sufficient amount of coal to run from thirty to sixty days kfid others had none at all. “The question which naturally arises In any consideration of the present situation is, ‘What can he done?’ “Manifestly the commission must continue to increase rates so long as present conditions obtain. “The commission believes the problem must be attacked wh*re its inception is found —namely, at the point where coal la produced and sold. “Coal prices must come down. “Either the state or federal government, or both, must act, and they must ■ct with vigor. "The commission itself is powerless to deal with the coal situation. “It must accept prices as they are end leave the other agencies of the government the correction of this alarming Situation in itself.”
