Regrulatiop . of the coal industry aa provided in the y pending Caldef bill was indorsed today r: by heads of tw of , the: g-overnment agencies which would be. charged with administration of the measure. Edgar B. "Clark, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, and - Dr. Georse Otis Smith, director of the geological survey, both of which agen cies, together with the Federal Trade .commission, would be called upon to enforce the regulatory provisions, told the senate ".manufacturers cdmmittee t'hat the bill; as drafted would be work- y ; able. - . . Chairman 1 Clark 1 was asked parti cularly, as to his opinion .of provisions of the bill which would require the In terstate Commerce commission to regu late freight car supply at mines and gather facts as to coal movements. In the course of his reply, approving such 'provisions, he declared that the. acute car shortage of last year might again be experienced unless a means were de ' vised to bring about the transporta tion of coal in advance of the season able requirements. , Asserting that the bill should be en acted. Director Smith, outlined for the r commitee the two general methods proposed 1 In the bill for dealing with " the coal industry. , ;. . "The first method, to be applied dur- i (ing normal times when coal is avail able at proper prices," said Dr. Smith, "merely involves the collection of - statistics of produotidn, distribution ; ,and costs, which are to be made avail able to the public. No producers of a ' 1 commodity like coal - can reasonably object to this. . 1 ' "The second method, to be applied , only in emergency, .and when found necessary by the Federal i,Trade com mission,, witn tne approval . of the , President, .authorizes control of the 'production, transportation, and sale of . coal.

IB.Tex Rlckard, who nas made even the spenders of ; , " . Gotham gasp at the magnificence of the methods he employs to bring ! top-notch pugi lists into bellicose ; juxtaposition, has begun wha't he believes will " be his final ' venture in the realms of the , fight-film in vestment. , "Brennen v s . , Dempsey," read the newspaper advertls e m e n t s. uwmcE PEiutr Prl?e8 cents. i "But," said ' Tex Bickard, as hsurn ed away from a battery of telephones mounted on liis desk in'n office in a high corner of the Madison Square tower, "I. haven't much, faith in pic tures any more. In fact, if some one would' make me a gift of the $2,000 I lost .onthe-iDempsey-Willard pictures, I'd give him-an interest in this present show -fhich would make him dizsy." "Tou t.say you ' lost money on the pic tures of v the big fight ' at Toledo" ex claimed the writer, studying htm with that dubious, expression of one who is looking fbr the . joke and can't find. it. Two .' thousand dollars, yes. I nave come to believe, that the public doesn't cafe for fight pictures. .

"All right. ; Tell 'em to come." Rlck ard speaks Very softly and rapidly, his straigbt-lined' mouth - movhng almost imperceptibly in one direction.

"I'll bet a thousand dollars, Mr. Rickard." Fulton smiled and blushed and fumbled with (his hat, "that -Dempsey can't be'got into the ring with me in 1921."- - ,v - two I see. yes. Call me up in a day or Good day.", - . "Recognized, fighters are all riaht," "but you '"have to be careful about these 'ambitious 'kids." ' .-.-' He said .this after he had promised a likely looking youngster a chance in a preliminary bout next month. "You don't want to put them against a boy who will knock them out in the first round or so. On bad fight on a card otherwise good, Is likely , to spoil a whole show with th fans." Turning to the subject of the 'na tional 'boxing association of the United States, made up of boxing commis sioners of 16 states, which was organ lied in a this city last week for the purpose of controlling pugilism, Rick ard expressed bJs approval. ! Want Too Much Moaey "If properly conducted," he said, "it will be a fine thing. Purses can. be regulated, -rules of all ' sorts enforced and supervision of fighters in the ring, as well as their conduct out of it, can be maintained. ; Yes; I believe in it. As for the money demands of the leading fighters something ought to be done about that. I'd like right now. to ar range, a bout for 'the middleweight championship.' But Johnny Wilson wants to sign a contract which gives hinxe - 60 per, cent Of1 the receipts, or 160,000 straight. He to have the choice after, the bout. Doesn't stand to lose much does he ? . But where does the promoter come in? AOf course, I'm not arranging bouts for charity or for my health, The only solution of that problem is not to meet their demands, keep them idle." -: ; Asked if he thought Willard has arf chance against Dempsey, ' in . case a bout .could be arranged In : : March Rickard seemed confident, v ; "Why, I , think so. While he put: up as good a fight as he could on the day he fought Dempsey at Toledo, .he was far from :his ; best. . First, he I reduced weight .by starvation, which ; is had.

Jan., 19. The forfeit moneys of, (both principals and pro moters involved in the Dempsey-Car-pentier . heavyweight V championship bout set for July 2, were directly.' or Indirectly accounted for here '' today. As a result, it appears - that none of the terms of the contract signed on November 5. 1920, have been violated and so far as can be roreseen at this time, there Is no ground for the report that the match will not be held. J. E. Ward, a surety broker, who handled the bonds for those involved in the contract, stated that' the Amer ican Surety company of this city had issued a bond for Promoter Tex Rick ard's share of the $100,000 forfeit fund amounting to $33,333.33. The United States Fidelity and Quaranty company of Baltimore issued a similar bond for Wm. A. Brady, while Charles B.
