Government Regulation of the Coal Industry: Supplementary to Handbook "Government Ownership of Coal

"Government Regulation of the Coal Industry" serves as a comprehensive collection of arguments, data, and perspectives regarding the oversight of one of the most vital sectors of the early 20th-century economy. Compiled by Julia E. Johnsen, this work functions as a vital supplement to the broader debate over public ownership and the role of federal intervention in natural resource management. The volume captures a pivotal era in American industrial history, where the coal industry faced significant challenges ranging from labor disputes to supply instability and pricing concerns.

This volume provides an in-depth look at the legislative and economic frameworks proposed to stabilize the industry. By presenting a balanced view of contemporary arguments regarding increased government involvement, the work explores themes of nationalization, price fixing, and the protection of consumer interests. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of energy policy, economic regulation, and the political debates that shaped the industrial landscape of the United States during the 1920s.

Through its rigorous compilation of sources and analytical insights, "Government Regulation of the Coal Industry" offers a window into the complex relationship between private enterprise and public welfare. It remains a significant scholarly tool for understanding the evolution of industrial regulation and the historical precedents for modern energy governance.
