"Did your association usk the Inter state Commerce Commission for priority orders?" asked Senator Kenyon. "No, we were lighting that," Mr. dishing replied. J. If. A. Morrow, vice president of the National Coal Association, repre senting mine opcrntors, snid his asso ciation was formed nt the Instnnce of the national defense counsel, nnd wns approved by the fuel administration, "so there could be Mime national or ganization in the coal industry, with which the government could deal." It had -200 members, ho snid. who produced "little over half the coal ton nage of the United Stntes." "Why can't you organl7e now to pre vent shortnges, as joti did during the war?" asked Senator IMge. "Why should a two-week railroad strike pro duco n national shortage?"

"Let's get to the present day," said Senator IMgc. "There nrc plenty of coal curs and no fear of another short age?" "There Is nothing to fear now," Mr. Morrow snid. "It took u world war, a natlonnl coal striko and n rniltoad strike as well to bring about last sum mcr'.i shortage." The coal association's income wns "something over S400.000 this year," tho witness told Senator Kcn.win, and It "had secured over $1,000,000 during tho last three jears" by assessments on members.
