Coal report criticized by lawmakers and press
Controversy surrounds the coal report with Lauck Angell and two Pennsylvania members urging federal legislation to regulate the industry. Proposals include a Guffey Act style coal law, direct relief grants for unemployed miners, works projects, and an emergency camp plan for affected areas. Governor Earle sent the reports to the legislature without recommendations, citing impending adjournment. A commission was formed on his suggestion after a survey of the bootlegging area and input from Anthracite interests and miners.
