LAWS TO GOVERN COST OF com Decide to Push Enforcement Bills Through With Minor Changes to Meet Objections. ALL PROTESTS ARE IN VAIN Mackay Report Reveal* Coal Combine Her* — Bill* Will Be Offered to 8top Freezeout of Small Daalera — Price Fixing I* Charged. Trenton. — At the Republican conference It was decided to put through the prohibition enforcement hills with a few minor changes to meet objections. There Is to be no binding caucus yoke, to be sure, only an understanding that the party will stand as a unit for the measure"^ notwithstanding the apparent disposition of some Seuators and Assemblymen to demur. The purty leaders. Including St£te Chairman Stokes, let It be known In the conference that It would be necessary to go out before the people. In the coming campaign, squarely upon the wet and dry Issue, since K was apparent that the Democrats would take the other end of that argument The „ leader of the more liberal element ~ among the Republicans, Assemblyman Hlrschfleld, said : "There Is no more use for these blls than gargoyles on the Washington monument, but what are we to do?" He said he had made what protest he could, but there was no use. So It may be said that the Republican program on the question, the chief topic of the present session since the Van Ness act was declared unconstitutional and while the "caucus screw" was not applied, something Just as effective was put in operation. One of ( the changes In the bills tentatively j agreed upon was a provision allowing the Common Pleas Judges In the sev- - eral counties to designate Justices of the peace to sit as magistrates to hear cases .under the act. There la, however, some doubt of the constitutionality of this provision, and It was referred to the Attorney General for his opinion. The most radical change over the Van Ness act is, of course, the provision for Jury trial of offenders, and marked modification of : the search and seizure clauses, fea- i : tures which aroused the greatest degree of animosity to the law of last * year. The Republican conference failed to reach the bridge and tunnel ripper bill, but deferred action to a later gathering In the hope that something more definite than is now obtainable, may be reached. T. A. Adams, chairman of the New Jersey Commission, who would be ousted by passage of the ripper, sought Majority Leader Evans with a proposal that he* be heard upon the matter and it was arranged to give | him a hearing before the Judiciary , Committee of both Houses. It had • been Intimated that the actuating motive back of the ripper was a report that some members of the bridge and tunnel commission bad taken advnn- . tage of their positions to transact some business to their personal profit, a suggestion that aroused prompt and , indignant protest from every member. Coal Probers Make Report Retail coal dealers of New Jersey , don't fix retail coal prices, the opera- , tors don't, nor do the wholesalers, hut ; In some subterranean fashion the hum- , hie consumers are obliged to pay life j same prices, no matter in what part .of . the state they may reside. This is the gist of. the report of the Mackay Coal . Investigation Commission authorized | by the legislature of last year. | Because the $10,000 appropriation , was insufficient to carry the inquiry , to the fullest extent the commission : -tap. tests that it be continued another ear with power to dig more fully into . the things they believe they can bring j to the surface In the system of coal | distribution, and maintenance of pres- ( New Jersey's senate, following the i report, took steps to force lower coal ; prices. Bills presented' by Senator < Mackay of Bergen county would make < coal price "fixing",' illegal and punish- | able by heavy fines and imprisonment. < Also they would make "combinations" t»i~uflx" coal prices and regu- t late dlatribution unlawful. < | Operators of coal pockets In New- c i ark, said to be in a combine to freeze > l out the small dealers, are In for an j unpleasant season If the bill Introduc- i ed as the result of the findings of the i Mackay Coal Investigating Committee t la enacted into law. f From the reports submitted to the t legislature by former Senator Wood McKee, general counsel to the committee, It looks as If there was a com- t of the big coal operators to t eliminate the small dealers ae possible r competitors. s The report submitted was only an fc report. As the commit- j tee has not been able to finish Ita in- p veatigation a resolution will be adopt- « ed by the present legislature to con- j tlnue the committee and have It sub- fa mlt Its final report at next year's session of the legislature. g Need Two Member* v It will be necessary under the reso- J lutlon to appoint two members of the p committee In place of Assemblyman n Arthur H. Nelson of Hudson and Sen- P ator Thomas Brown of Middlesex, who e are no longer members of the leglsla- * ture. n The report said In part : "It la apparent from the evidence " taken that In late years these dlstrib- n

ets to discontinue baying coal In their localities mM to ten re their supply from the pockets of the distributing companies. In the opinion of committee legislation should be enacted either controlling or disposing entirely of the pockets of the distributing companies or sales companies. Monopoly Is Forced "It Is further apparent that the monopoly of the retail coal trade le forced by these pockets, in so far as the distributing companies will not supply any one applying for coal but only to dealers. They say that If coal Is plentiful and If they have more than 1 the dealers can take, why then they v may furnish It to others. Tbey also say that If the supply of coal Is somewhat limited they would sell It only to dealei^ their regular customers, before any outsider could be supplied. By this method It Is apparent that It will be Impossible for any outsider to start In the co#l business and 1 secure a sufficient supply of coal unless he purchases his coal from an dependent company." 9 In all cases, the committee Is convinced that the price of anthracite 1 coal Is higher when purchased from i an independent company than that from what Is known as the old line ! companies. The control of these pocki ets from the sales company or the producing company virtually controls ■ the retail price and thereby hold the ' retail dealers by the throat by reason of such ownership. « Governor 6lice* Knot Governor Edwards cut a tangled political knot In 8alem county by withdrawing the nomination of Daniel V. Summerlll, Jr.. of Pennsgrove as common plens Judge, and sending to the senate that of Charles Mecrum, widely known counselor of Salem. It is said that Senator Allen of that county In1 formed the governor that he would . ; never stand for confirmation of SummerllL It Is said he will accept Mec-I mm. The governor also sent In the] appointment of Charles L. Richmond of Elmer, as a member of the 8alem ; county board of taxation, The house, without debate, but with , j the bare majority of thirty-one votes j passed Senator Allen's bill repealing ] the law of last year prohibiting the j shooting of reedblrds. Assemblyman , Stiles of Salem explained that In all I other states shooting of this bird, I which Is destructive of certain crops : especially rice, is allowed and thai ' It has no economic value In this state rs It Is not Jnsectlvorlons. The Audubon Society has conducted a rigorous campaign to keep the protective law \ upon the books. The house also 1 passed Senator Wallworth's bill ex- , tending the state highway route through Camden to the Delaware i River bridge by way of the Burlington pike and Assemblyman Gibb'a bill al- ' lowing municipalities to make agreementa with the State Highway Commission to widen streets forming parti of state routes. Changes in Compensation Law Proposed changes In the workmen'i . compensation law. enacted as one ol the outstanding features of the" legls- < lative program of the first year of the ; Wilson administration In 1911. opened , wide the existing differences between capital and labor at a pubic hearing ' upon four pending bills In the Assem- i bly chamber. The measure, Introduced by Assem- ' blyman Hlrshfield of Passaic were ' drafted by a committee representing ; the State Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Labor, Insurance companies, medical profession, the State ' Department of Labor and a number >1 < employers, but the manufacturers' as- , sociation set up strong and united objection to the bills through Counselor < A. Dayton Oliphant of this city and ; several of their active members. 1 1 Briefly, the series of bills provided * for. additional compensation for in- • Jured employees and add to the lia- ; of employers for occupational , Under the present law the minimum . compensation is $6 a week and the maximum $12. with a limitation of $400 for total and permanent disability. The purpose Is to Increase the minimum to $8 and the maximum to $1S. with no limitation for total disability. In the course of the hearing advocates of the measures claimed that Jersey is far behind most of the other forty-eight states of the Union in compensation awards and it had long been felt that the terms of the present law are totally Inadequate. Henry F. Hilfers, secretary, and Ar- r thur Qulnn, president of the State Federation of Labor, advocating favorable ' action upon the bills, pointed out that great hardships are Imposed upon injured toilers by the inadequacies of the and that the remedy lies in the of the legislature through these prepared after thorough investigation by the committee representing all elements Involved.* "Fellow Who Pay* Freight" ' "Ton have heard from everybody on ( bills except the fellow who pays the freight," said Mr. Oliphant, who ripped the bills apart bit by bit. H« said that the proposed changes would Impracticable, unworkable and unto the employer, who Is not opposed to workmen's compensation, but who at this Ume of economic read- - Is unable to. accept added ] burdens of cost of production. : He said that a number of New \Jer- _ Industries have already been severely Injured by the competition of Japanese and German industries where production costs are far lower. The manufacturers of the State, Mr. Oliphant said, feel that they are at present taxed to the utmost, that they are serious problems of readjust-; ment, with business far from satisfactory. and\ that this was no time In which to suggest an additional burden upon them. !
