Leslie M. Shaw agrees with Governor Crane and supports the removal of coal tariffs but fears that a bill will provide the minority party with an opportunity to play politics regardless of the populace’s suffering. The removal of coal tariffs would bring the matter of tariffs into debate. The Treasury Department agrees with President Roosevelt that coal should be on the duty free list.
