Denying that a combination among bituminous coal operators to fix prices exists, J. D. A. Morrow, ylca president ot the National Goal Aittaciatlon, told a Bnate coal In Testtgatlng committee today that such a combination would be impossible If attempted. Prices at the mines, he said, have declined under the competi tion which prevails and arc lower than they were a year ago. Profits also arc lower, he declared. "There, arc about C0OO separate com mercial producers operating approxi mately 7000 mines from v,hicli bl- taminous coal is regularly shipped," Mr. Morrow said. "In addition there are some 2000 operators with about 3000 mines who begin producing nnd selling coal whenever the price goes up a lit tle and offers a profit' to them. "Moreover, there arc hundreds of thousands of acres of coal lands along railroads on which new mines can be readily and quickly opened by any one so disposed. Such a condition ob viously docR not lend Itself to restrictive combinations among producers. "Of the 5000 separate bituminous coal producers in the United 'States, 2204, approximately 45 per cent, hold membership in the National Coal Asso ciation. They produce nbout CO' per cent of the total output of bituminous coal In tho country. "The National. Coal Association rep resents these operators and looks after their interests in matters of general con cern, such as transportation nnd traf fic questions-, standardization of cost ac counting, co-operation with govern mental agencies and similar activities. There is nothing secret about its busi ness." Mr. Morrow said bituminous coal prices had declined since the armistice. and In general were lower than l9 prices fixed by the fuel administration. "The cost of producing bituminous coal Is higher now than it was n year ago," he said, "due to the fact that the mines then were operating six days a week and In many cases operating only four days per week nnd In Bomo cases only three days a week. The overhead expense of maintaining mines goes on. just the same "whether coal Is produced or not. "When the Increased costs are con sidered In connection with the general decreass in prices, it is clear that profits of bituminous' coal operators arc mate rially less than a year ago."
