Bo-chsr- One-ten- th Extensive Activity PROVIDED BY BILL ' . Carbon Scout Officials Plan Carbon Solon Sponsors Measure Designed to Aid Industry; Opposition Expressed. Senator George M. Miller offered a bill in the sta(t legislature Thursday providing thgt coal) be declared a public utility and tie placed under the public utilities Commission. According to the Catbon solan, the measure Is lesignfti to stabilize the coal ind The bill, anicftds the law governing other public utilities and makes applicable the provisions of it to the coal Industry as well as to all other public utilities. It defines a "coal corporation" as a corporation or person owning, controlling, operating and managing any coal mines, wholesale or retail coal business, or engaging In the production, distribution or sale of any form or classification of coal within the state for public service. Senator Miller contends that the effect of the bill would be to stabilize the industry, together with wages in the coal fields, and would result in a general advantage to production and distribution. Immediately after the bill was announced, considerable opposition to the measure was expressed to The by a number of local citizens, who claim that the bill would eliminate wagon mining and coal trucking and subsequently raise the price of coal to the consumer. In a statement made to The opponents of the measure put forth the following arguments: By placing coal as a utility, the public utilities commission would be given the authority to regulate production to the extent of creating an absolute monopoly for the larger operators and the railroads. It is practically certain that the commission would regulate the sale of coal on the basis at allowing each company to sell in proportion to the tonnage it is prepared to produce. Under this arrangement, the allotment of the wagon mines would be so small that they could not afford to operate. If the transportation of coal were once, again confined to railroads, the prices would return to the level of six or seven years ago, when coal coat between $8.50 end $7 per ton compared to the present price of about $4 for a quality product The same proportionate increase will take effect in all parts of the state served by trucks. A large majority of coal truckers are farmers who haul coal during the winter months and who otherwise would be idle. There ere no established trucking firms, and wagon mining and coal hauling is purely an individual enterprise. Coal is a commodity and can no more be classed as a utility than can Sun-Advoc- ate Sun-Advoc- ate ARRANGEMENTS FOR FIREMENS BALL COMPLETE District Committee To All Scout Troops In County. : Re-regis- ter fa Plans have been completed for the eighteenth annual firemen's bell, to be staged at the Silver Moon Wednesday.
