By PAUL MALLON
(Copyright, 1035, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, June 18. It Is mora
or leas an open secret that the Jus
tice department lowyers generally con-
alder the Ouffey
Snyder coal bill
to be unconstitu
tional. This may
be denied now
because the
White House is
pushing the bill
energetically 1 n
congress.
But around the
department, the
right-hand men
of Attorney Oen
eral Cummlngs
are freely saying.
PAIL .MALLON
off the records, that the bill la Illegal
on three points. Its price fixing fea
tures are definitely monopllstlc: Its
tax provision Is coercive and not for
for the purpose of raising revenue:
and anyway, the supreme court haa
already held that coal mining Is not
interstate commerce.
The sltutalon has stirred up con
siderable speculation as to why Presi
dent Roosevelt chose to get behind a
bill which his lawyers consider to
be of doubtful legality.
The atory most widely accepted by
those In the know Is that the presi
dent haa seized this Issue as a ve
hicle to carry home his oppoilt-ion to
the supreme court decision on NRA.
It la a rather deep story but a
plausible one. and the only explana
tion for the enigmatic situation sur
rounding the bill.
The truth is the public reaction to
the NRA decision was not what the
administration desired. President
Roosevelt's friends blame tt on the
fact that the country failed to un
derstand the issue. Constitutional
questions are always Involved and
not widely understood. . The sick
chicken case was not one which could
be dramatized easily before the coun
try. Coal affords a. broader opportunity.
Nerly everyone thinks the bill Is meri
torious. A majority of coal operators,
as represented by production tonnage,
want H. The miners are threatening
to strike unless It la passed. The
only people strongly against It are the
large coal consumers (railroads, utili
ties), who fear higher prices. Non
union operators also oppose it because
it gives fftore power to the United
Mine Workers.
Ths JJstlcmnl Coal association, rep
resenting the industry, haa taken no
stand on It, being neither for it nor
against it. Virtually all the northern
operators, except the Mellon crowd,
are for It.
Everyone on the inside of the situ
ation agrees that a swift court test
of the bill la certain. The highest
mine worwer authorities say they take
that for granted. So does the coal
assocition. They all expect that it
will be taken to the supreme court
next winter In plenty of time for a
decision before the 1936 presidential
campaign opens.
That the court will throw out the
bill also is taken for granted by a
majority of cases. In the Coronado
case, the court said (page 25): "Coal
mining is not interstate commerce
and the power of congress docs not
extend to its regulation as such." It
added that. If congress deems certain
"recurring practices" likely to ob
struct, restrain or burden the indus
try, it may subject them to national
supervision and restraint.
But the Guffey-Snyder bill goes
further. It taxes all operators and
returns 09 per cent of the tax to
those operators who Join up under a
code. The purpose of the tax is mere
ly to force the operators In under a
code.
The new dealers have been playing
around coyly with the problem of
international currency stabilization
lately. It is known to have been the
topic of recent White House confer
ences. A very significant paragraph on the
subject appeared in a memo recently
given out by the commerce depart
ment. It was not written offhand by
a departmental clerk, but waa care
fully worked out by officials and may
be taken as a direct hint of a new

As If winning all honors In the

ahoot here wasn't enough. Earl Troeh,
Portland shooter, had to be one of
the very few people so far this year
to see a mother bear and three cubs.
While driving to Crater Lake yester
day, Troeh came upon the bruin fam
ily soberly walking along the high
way about 15 miles this side of the
lake.
At first glance from several hun
dred yards, the Troeh family did not
recognizer the animals to be bears,
the three cubs being very small, not
larger than a small fox terrier dog.
The mother was not at all alarmed
for her brood, allowing the car to
come directly alongside without show
ing the least sign of fear.
The cubs frisked about the ma
chine and the mother made one trip
raound herself, taking the lay of the
land and possibly wondering why the
car occupants stared so.
Troeh wound the car windows up
and parked to get a good view. Hia

said today. For probably five min
