(By Associated Press.) Washington, -June 28. Anthracite and bituminous coal operators at to day's conference with the Defense Council's production committee con sidered resolutions proposing the fix ing of coal prices during the war by a joint governmental commission, composed of the Secretary of the In ferior, the Council's coal commit io and the Federal Trade Commission. The resolution is designed as a pos sible substitute for legislation pending in congress proposing Dianset thority for government price fixing on . coal and backed by the operators as a compromise adjustment satisfactory I to both operators and consumers The resolution "giving assent" to fixing of maximum prices was report ed by former Governor Fort, from a special committee. He said he believ ed the resolution was entirely safe for the conference to adopt and that any responsibility as to the legality of the fixing of "the priced was put on the gperaent"amfcnol on the operators." under the terms of the ; resolution. The resolution" af te teunjofc:tfi a greatrnationaj ergency now exists, in the -nation's fuel supply and that the coal. operators and miners desire to closely co-operate with the govern ment reads: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that a committee of 7 for each coal producing State and an additional committee of 7, appointed by the representatives of the anthrac-, ite industry, be appointed by the rep- resentatives of each State now attend ing this convention, to confer with the Secretary of the Interior, the Fed eral Trade Commission and the com- rtonLOViDiii npunEU given dv nnai neranTonp on ID mittee on coal production of the Coun-1 partment would be gone into thorough cil of National Defense, to the end y until the responsibility for Cocchi's that production be stimulated and plans be perfected to provide adequate means of distribution, and, further, that these committees report forth with to the Secretary of the Interior, the Federal - Trade Commission and fhe committee on coal production of the Council of National Defense costs of and conditions surrounding tho pro tribution of coal in each district, and that these committees are authorized, in their discretion to give assent to such maximum prices for coal for cars at mines in the various districts, as may be named by the Secretary of the Interior, the Federal Trade Com mission and the committee on coal production of the Council of National Defense." The resolution was unanimously adopted. It was a revision of a form er resolution re-called because of fear that questions might be raised as to I the legality of the operators aggee ing upon a price, even though at the instance of the government, Attorney General Gregory having sent word that R. Colton Lewis, special assist ant Attorney Gen., who had been con ferring with the operators, had no right or authority to outline what the government's policy might be under Anti-Trust laws, in connection with price-fixing. As soon as this resolution was agreed to, another one was presented tinder which it was proposed that the government authorize the government representatives, named in the resolu tion to issue a statement forthwith fixing a tentative price which in their judgment, shall be a fair and reason-1 able ne for the various districts, and ro b; effective from July 1, until the committee shall fix a permanent price. Secretary Lane sent the conference a letter, asking immediate action in reducing the prices, the tentative prices fixed to continue until the in vestigation into costs and conditions arrasted an increase or reduction in the tentative prices. He suggested that the tentative fixing of prices should not affect present contracts' or (,xport trade. MEXICAN SMUGGLERS OF AMMUNITION (By Associated Press.) El Paso, Texas, June 28.
