Coal Probe Bill Passed by House
Washington August 24 The House passed the administration bill to create a federal coal commission to gather facts about the industry while excluding miners and operators from representation. The Bland measure offering representation was defeated 126 to 75 after initial passage of the Winslow bill 219 to 55. The debate highlighted plans for a nine member commission versus five and left open the possibility of future representation for miners and operators. Senate plans stalled as delay in printing delayed action. The outcomes shape coal price strategies during the post strike period.
