I would like to explain to the people of Carbon county the fundamental facts regarding senate bill No. 61 which places coal under the jurisdiction of the state utility commissi on. This bill recognizes coal as a public utility along with gas, electicity, water, heat and electric energy, and is more important than either as a natural resource. In fact, coal is the basic resource from which most of the others are derived. Therefore, coal is entitled to the same treatment as natural or- artificial gas. No person can maintain that coal is not a natural resource. Hence, senate bill No. 61 Includes coal under the public utility law of the state of Utah, and places its control in the same hands as artificial and natural gas, ge electricity, water, heat, etc. No in the law has been made. The purpose of this bill was to help the laborer and the coal miner, the man who actually does the work, and to correct certain wrongs within the Industry itself. The facts will disclose that the coal miner of Carbon county has borne the brunt of the depression in the coal industry. The production of coal has declined from 6 million to less than 3 million tons in the last few years. At the same time, freight rates have increased 3 per cent Powder, electrical energy, coal cars, compensation insurance and the other commodities used by the operators have remained the same in price or have advanced. The curtailed income from the decline of 100 per cent in coal production has been borne principally by the miners. His wages have been reduced, his laboring time shortened and his compensation insurance curtailed, and many thousands of men have been unable to obtain employment at all. The unemployment situation in Carbon is deplorable. On account of our highly industrialized district, the laboring man is unable to exist without reasonably steady employment Employment conditions cannot be improved unless the coal operators are able to over-cra-ne their difficulties. At the present time, all of the coal companies are operating at a loss, or practically so, due mostly to difficulties within themselves. At our hearings before the senate committee, these facts were brought out by the Utah Coal Producers association, and they were not denied. Senate bill No. 61 is intended to correct these conditions by bringing to the public, information regarding the unequal and unregulated conditions which cause the miner through his loss of wages to bear the major portion of the decline. Utility regulation will enable us to secure a reduction of at least one-thi- rd the present freight rate, resulting in a saving of more than one million dollars to the operators, reflecting better wages and living conditions. This will also aid the operators to pay their taxes to Carbon county and meet pay rolls.

Phone and Onr Agent Will Call J. BRACKEN LEE, Manager Braley Building, East Main Street PRICE. UTAH tion will permit the mining and sizing of coal so that unprofitable and unnecessary labor will be eliminated, and only those kinds and sizes which the trade actually demand will be produced. At present, many grades of coal are sold purely as an excuse for cutting the price. Utility regulation will prevent secret rebates, price cutting and other unethical practices. If nine or ten of the community coal camps of Carbon county go out of existence, and the miners with them, then our towns in Spring Canyon, Gordon Creek and some of the other places will become ghost cities like Rains. Does any citizen or business man of Carbon county want to see this take place? If he doubts this certainty, let him Inform himself of present conditions in the industry. Yet this is exactly what will happen unmines are less the railroad-own- ed prevented through utility regulation from strangling the independent coal companies. It ought to be apparent to all residents of Carbon county that utility regulation as defined in senate bill No. 61, will greatly improve our local business conditions by more stable employment and added pay rolls. Space does not permit further explanation of the effects of this bill, but the writer would be glad to fur- nish further information upon re- quest PIANOS AT A SACRIFICE We have on hand in the vicinity of Price, TWO or THREE of our BEST PIANOS.
