FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1937 State Mines Urged to Stop Bootleg Pennsylvania Coal

WASHINGTON, May 14.—A recommended remedy for Pennsylvania's “bootleg coal” problem is expected to stir a new and bitter controversy

over “government in business.”

It will be contained in a report to Gov. George H. Earle of Pennsylvania by a commission which he appointed and which has been working for several months in Pennsylvania’s anthracite region. A majority of the commission is said to have agreed on recommend-

ing state operation of some of the

companies concentrated in mechanized,

.were left without support, and from

this condition grew the bootleg business which at its peak was estir mated to employ 20,000 men in digging, sorting, trucking and marketing stolen coal. The traffic has extended to all middle Atlantic cities and is said by the coal companies to have taken 32 million dollars a year from legitimate concerns.

Revolutionary Problem

Informed sources say the majorreport will be “constructive and sound,” and that if it departs from

‘the “American way” it is because

the bootleg coal problem itself is something new and “revolutionary” and can be met only by a method possessing elements of originality.

Outside observers, studying three Pennsylvania counties in which the bootlegging is concentrated, have largely agreed that the phenomenon marked a struggle between “human rights and property rights.” The commission's report to Governor Earle, it is understood, places human rights unmistakably first, but recommends methods that do not involve confiscation of company property. Local sentiment in the affected

hind the bootleggers. Local law officers have declined to drive them off company property or to stop their traffic, and two Pennsylvania Governors have refused to interfere by sending in state police. Governor Earle intimated a year ago he was considering state operation of some of the anthracite mines as a means of giving the bootleggers lawful employment and breaking up the illicit business: He initiated a study of the constitutionality of this procedure, but delayed a decision pending the report of his special commission.
