COAL CONTROL Open ‘Model Congress’ Here Tomorrow

ACT DEFENDED BY GREENLEE

Charges ‘Selfish Interests’ Attempting to Prevent Fixing of Prices.

Times Special WASHINGTON, May 5—Charging that “selfish interests” are seeking to discredit the Coal Control Act before prices to prevent “cut-throat competition” can be fixed by the

National Bituminous Coal Commis- | i

sion, Commissioner Pleas Greenlee of the NBCC launched a counterattack here today.

Defending both the law and the] commission, Mr. Greenlee, the se-|

lection of Senator Minton (D. Ind.) for the commissioner to represent the public, lashed out at the critics in a lengthy letter addressed to Rep. Eugene B. Crowe (D. Ind.). Rep. Crowe asked Mr. Greenlee for information regarding the commission's functioning in response to a critical letter from Harry C. Nicholson, Muncie coal dealer, who urged that the so-called Guffey Act be amended or repealed.

Seek Monopoly, Greenlee Says

In his letter to Rep. Crowe, Mr. Greenlee asserted that the sane group of coal men who sought to prevent passage of the control act now are trying to checkmate it through Congressional action. The group is made up of lowcost producers who want a monopoly, Mr. Greenlee alleged. “This act provides for minimum prices which will prevent price cutting as it years,” Mr. Greenlee wrote,

“The minimum prices are to be

so set under this act that the average realization will approximate the average cost of production. The

high cost companies still will be in|

be an labor

difficulties, but there will orderly liquidation without suffering as it has in the past.

Opposition Laid to Selfish

“With the union wage scale in ef-!

fect, in conditions under the act, | no company can cut wages or prices. |

The combination of minimum]

prices as set by this commission ! with the union wage scale, will make tolerable conditions for the miner and the producer of coal.” | Those fighting the law do not “reflect the opinion of the majority of coal producers,” Mr. Greenlee continued { “I am glad that vou have taken his opportunity to contact me reiative to the law because so much misinformation exists about it,” he wrote. “I assure you that the good think-| ing people of the State of Indiana] will support this act when they | are properly informed, and I serious- | lv doubt whether there is any gen- | eral opposition to the act, but that of the desperate and selfish few who are writing many letters against it. | Objects to Repeal of Act | “I am very much in earnest when I tell you that it would be a mis-| take to amend or repeal this act at this time.” For the first time in history coals have been classified and when min- | imum prices are established by the] commission the consumer will know | exactly what he is buying, Mr. | Greenlee concluded. “For the industry will assure its cost They will reduce the tremendous losses to this industry. By our own figures. which we know to be true, we have found that the average realization, from coal prices last vear was 11 cents a ton lower than the average cost of production.” | The Greenlee letter has been mimeographed by NBCC and is being given widespread distribution on Capitol Hill.
