Show II III Brttckart's Washington Digest Weakness of Unsound Legislation Does Not Remain Concealed Long Oltl NRA Is Striking Example of Careless Lawmaking; Lawmak-ing; Now Comes Up the Unworkable Conditions of Guff ey Law That Has Cost Coal Industry Millions. By WILLIAM BRUCKART VTSV Service, National Press Bldf., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON. Unsound and unworkable un-workable laws have a way of concealing con-cealing their weaknesses tor varying vary-ing lengths of time. It seems to be true, however, that those weaknesses, weak-nesses, like one's sins, will be found out. This is especially true of written writ-ten laws that are predicated upon a formula of how things ought to be done, rather than upon the basis of known acts and customs and living conditions of the people who make up our nation. Take the old NBA, for example. Its glaring weaknesses and impossible impossi-ble prescriptions were discovered rather soon by the persons and businesses busi-nesses who had to abide by the terms of that law. It was not so long, however, before most of us discovered that the artist who had sketched the original design of the blue eagle had made a mistake. You will recall, of course, that the design de-sign had 13 feathers In one wing and 12 in the other. That was bound to make the bird fly in a circle, and how true it was of the law, itselXI Even, then, there were many persons per-sons who believed the law was not given a sufficient trial before the Supreme Su-preme court mowed it down. Among those who held a conviction convic-tion that NRA would work was Senator GuiTey. the Pennsylvania New Dealer. It Is the same Senator Sena-tor GufTey who attempted to destroy, de-stroy, politically, all Democrats who disagreed with President Roosevelttried Roose-velttried to "read them out of the party" in a radio address. Senator GufTey, with the aid of John L. Lewis and the C. I. O., pushed " through congress the so-called so-called Guffey-little NRA coal law. The coal industry was divided in sentiment about the bill, as I remember re-member the legislative battle, but Senator GuiTey won. There came about a national bituminous coal commission, with power to fix prices, with power to compel a lot of other things, including the right of punishment under other laws if a coal mine owner should commit the horrible crime of selling below cost in order to get rid of his coal. Guftey Law Cost the Coal Industry Many Millions The first law so enacted was mowed down by the Supreme court just the same as the original and big brother NRA. Senator GufTey tried again. And so for two years, or thereabouts, there has been a law In force that applied the same principles prin-ciples of regimentation as NRA to the coal Industry, and during that time, according to official reports, the soft coal industry has lost money. mon-ey. It lost $37,000,000 in 1937, and it lost about $60,000,000 last year, the coal commission has reported. Naturally, the coal mine owners are not taking this loss without a squawk. It is not a great deal more than a chirp, however, because the production of coal dropped from 442.000,000 tons in 1937 to 342.000.000 tons in 1938. That is pretty rapid reducing, even if the industry were really fat In consequence of this, and other conditions affecting labor and property, prop-erty, Representative Allen, a Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania Democrat, has introduced in the house a bill to reconstruct the Guffey law. His proposal would eliminate the price fixing; it would eliminate the special tax on the coal industry for upkeep of the high powered, pow-ered, but more or less futile, coal commission, and it would place the industry again on a basis where its individual mines would be competing compet-ing for public patronage instead of inducing bootlegging of coaL I mentioned above that the Industry Indus-try had lost money. Well, you and I, as buyers and consumers of coal, not to mention the thousands of great manufacturing plants using coal, also lost money because of the Guffey law. We lost money because of the price conditions. We would be penalized in. a big way if the coal commission could ever have accomplished the almost insurmountable insur-mountable job of establishing a set of federally fixed prices. It would have cost us money because we would pay the price that was fixed, and that price would have to be high enough to allow a profit for the lowest grade and most inefficient ineffi-cient mine operator. Another Tug of War Between Coal Miners and Operators One of the reasons the mine owners own-ers lost money was because many who supported the law were convinced con-vinced it would mean increased wages for the workers. The United Mine Workers of America, headed by Mr. Lewis, believed so, and two years ago they demanded and obtained ob-tained an increase of 10 per cent During the debate on the l.Ul in congress con-gress it was talked freely that the miners could get a wage increase and it could be passed on to the consumers. con-sumers. This would be true, it was said, because the coal commission would fix the prices and the selling price, as fixed by law, would have to be above production costs. Cer-iaialy. Cer-iaialy. labor's wage is a part of pro duction costs, and the public would not feel it The contract then negotiated expired ex-pired recently and a new one is now being considered in the regular tug of war that occurs between miners and operators every two years. In the meantime, however, things happened hap-pened to labor in the soft coal mines. As I mentioned above, there was a decline in production of coal. It figures fig-ures out at 22 per cent That obviously ob-viously means that while labor obtained ob-tained en increase of one-tenth in the rate of pay, It worked only four-fifths four-fifths as much time according to the records available to me. I fail to see where labor gained from the law. Moreover, from the federal relief re-lief authorities I learn that living conditions and buying power among the persons living in coal mining areas have declined almost In direct ratio to decline in production of coal. With respect to the added taxation placed upon the owners of the mines, the surface indications and the original declarations of supporters support-ers of the law have proved to be quite misleading. The law required the industry to pay a tax of one cent a ton and to meet assessments to cover the expenses of boards that were set up in the various regional areas. It is easy to calculate that the one cent tax raised $3,420,000 on 342,000,000 tons, produced last year. But that figure does not show the extra assessments that were paid to the regional boards, nor does it reveal re-veal that every mine owner had to hire extra clerks In the company offices to take care of all of the various and sundry reports that the national commission and the regional region-al boards saw fit to require. Simply Became an Added Expense Borne by Industry Again, it was expected that these costs and taxes would be absorbed a nice word for concealing the facts from the consumers in the selling price that was to be fixed. But as I reported earlier, the commission never quite got around to fixing the prices under the current law. Hence, the hundreds of thousands of dollars which the law's sponsors said would be passed on simply became be-came an added expense borne by the industry. The law has another feature which you and I, as individuals, do not feel directly. It is another one of those concealed things. The law specifies that no contract can be signed between be-tween operator and consumer to last for more than 30 days. That is to say, no price can be quoted for more than 30 days in advance. That may not appear important, but it is highly Important The practice of large users of coal Is to enter Into a contract for a supply sup-ply of coal to last for example, for a whole year'a operation. Having such contract the owner of the manufacturing man-ufacturing establishment for instance, in-stance, will be able to know what his fuel costs are when calculating the price of the goods he manufactures and sells. Fuel costs are Important and it therefore becomes plain that large users of fuel have an unknown factor in their expense item for a year's plans. What do they do? They have to estimate that item, and they tabe the maximum that they can expect to pay for coal and users of their product have to pay that added amount whether in breakfast food or harvesting machinery ma-chinery or railroad freight rates. That one feature of the law alone has completely disorganized the coal industry. Coal Operators Are Left With Supply in Sizes Not Needed The 30-day limit also has had another an-other effect When a mine owner could make a year's contract or a number of such contracts, he knew whether it was lump coal or stove coal or slack that his customers needed. Without a contract the big buyers naturally shop around to get the lowest price. A mine operator, therefore, may sell to one firm one month and the next month, some other mine will supply the coaL The result is that one mine may find itself it-self with hundreds of tons, or even thousands of tons, of lump coal when all that can be sold in a given month is slack or stove coaL Well it Is the ordinary practice in business that if too large a stock is on hand, prices are reduced to induce in-duce someone to buy. But no! so in the soft coal Industry under the Guffey Guf-fey law. If the price is reduced below be-low the actual cost of mining, costs approved by a bunch of accountants sitting here in Washington, the law steps in not the Guffey law, but two other laws. They are the federal trade commission act and the Rob-inson-Patman act Under either one of these laws, the mine operator who cuts prices below eosts becomes tagged as a very bad boy who must be punished by fine or Imprisonment Imprison-ment So, the unwanted coal lies in piles beside the mine, crumbling ana becoming of less value daily as the weather takes its toll 6 Western Newspaper Union.

Whatever the cause, the problem is so serious that an even half-dozen credit-loosening measures are now pending in congress. Realizing that unscientific action would be blind staggering, Harry Hopkins' revitalized revital-ized commerce department recently recent-ly asked amendment of one such measure to direct it "particularly to the vital needs of small business busi-ness enterprises" and provide research re-search facilities. The earliest step in this direction started last fall when Wyoming's Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney began surveying U. S. business development develop-ment with a $500,000 appropriation and his so-called "monopoly" committee. com-mittee. Thus far successful in finding find-ing business' pulse, the O'Mahoney committee has been given another $000,000 to find what's wrong with the pulse.

Quickly dismissed by Mr. Frank was the possibility that his SEC might be to blame, since registration registra-tion requirements for small securities securi-ties issues were liberalized a year ago with no resultant increase in securities borrowing by small business. busi-ness. Starting out without any "preconceived ideas," Investigators will not try to pin responsibility on banks or anyone else until the eight-week eight-week probe is completed and findings find-ings tabulated. Relief Growing with other anti-administration congressional sentiment has been resentment against relief expenditures. ex-penditures. President Roosevelt was warned last December that he might expect an investigation this session. Though economizing legislators legis-lators agreed to vote deficiency funds (to last until July 1) before tearing WPA apart they lopped $150,000,000 off the original $875,000,-000 $875,000,-000 deficiency request When the White House asked that the cut be restored, rebellion had reached such heights that Mr. Roosevelt was lucky to get $100,000,000 of it. Thus freed to tackle WPA itself, a 12-man relief sub-committee went to work under Virginia's economizing economiz-ing Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum. Favorite Fa-vorite among suggested remedies offered the eight Democrats and four Republicans is a measure proposed pro-posed by Mr. Woodrum himself, to turn relief administration over to states and municipalities, the U. S. to concern itself chiefly with allocating allo-cating funds. Aimed partly to wipe out WPA's huge field organization, the bill would also knock $500,000,000 from President Roosevelt's budget estimate of $1,734,000,000 for relief during the 1933-40 fiscal year.

North Europe. Poland is the key nation in Britain's campaign, though Russian adherence to a Stop Hitler bloc is far more vital to the British cause. But Poland will not allow Soviet troops to cross her soil, which means that Russia cannot aid the anti-aggression bloc until Hitler swallows more territory and reaches Russia's frontier. Traditionally a fence-straddler, Poland has signed a mutual defense treaty with England only after making mak-ing important reservations. With a third of her border already facing Germany, Poland gains new hostile frontiers if the three Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia) accept Hitler's "protection." Moreover, More-over, Poland's friendship with Hungary Hun-gary is threatened because that nation na-tion refuses to burn her fingers on a Stop Hitler drive. Rumania, the only remaining neighbor, has agreed to make the Polish-Rumanian military mili-tary pact operative against Germany Ger-many as well as Russia, but Rumania Ru-mania is too far away and too completely com-pletely under Germany's economic thumb to offer much help. Thus Poland's fence-straddling can be appreciated, especially since the mild defensive gestures she has made thus far have been enough to make Germany threaten to denounce de-nounce the 1934 Nazi-Polish friendship friend-ship pact. South Europe. Of the Balkan states, only Rumania has received attention from both France and Britain. The latter nation has offered of-fered help in event of German aggression, ag-gression, while France chimed in with an important trade treaty. Main French efforts have been aimed at solidification of Jugoslavia, Greece and Turkey into an anti-Italian anti-Italian Balkan bloc.

ITALY'S COUNTER MOVE Who bosses the Mediterranean? Bosphorus so that French-British warships could protect Rumania in the Black sea.

But Italy replied quickly by threatening seizure of King Zog's tiny Albania, which would give him a key foothold on the Balkan peninsula. penin-sula. Controlling the narrow Strait of Otranto (sea map), Italy could block Yugoslavia's outlet to the Mediterranean, a threat which bid fair to explode France's plans. At the same time Italian and German troops moved steadily into African Libya in anticipation of a drive against Tunisia.

Revenge. Most Loyalist leaders like Gen. Jose Miaja fled Spain after hoisting the white flag of surrender. Two notable exceptions were Gen.

Humanitarian or not, Senor Besteiro was arrested and court martialed along with General Casado. Finance. Before the war Spain's gold reserve of $740,000,000 was exceeded ex-ceeded anly by the U. S., Britain and France. Also on hand were vast hoards of silver. By April 1938, the U. S. federal reserve bulletin ' reported re-ported Spanish gold had dropped to $525,000,000, and by this month as General Franco entered Madrid, nobody no-body apparently knew where any Spanish gold might be. One vague hint was that Marino Gamboa, a rich Loyalist-sympathizing Filipino, had moved most of it to Mexico and thereby insured the solvency of Loyalist Loy-alist refugees. Meanwhile Nationalist National-ist Spain held an empty bag.

That all blew over, but here is Mr. Hays today frankly proclaiming himself a eudemonist Our somewhat conservative con-servative dictionary is a mt vague about it but, in his rough outlines, a eudemonist seems to be one who believes in fairies. In his annual report as president of the Motion Picture Producers & Distributors of America, Mr. Hays cites with satisfaction the record box-office success of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," and is happy hap-py that "there are still a number of eudemonists left in the world." There is no disparaging or invidious reference to non-eudemonists, but since Mr. Hays also reports with gratification that there are no "isms" and no "social significance" in "Snow White," it is perhaps a fair inference that such black witchery witch-ery is the dramatic antithesis. , Practicing law in Sullivan, Ind., the homespun, sagacious Mr. Hays was no rising young eudemonist.
