“GZAR" PROPOSED FOR MINE INDUSTRY “ One Method for Arbitrating Controversies Developed at Coal Conference. Two suggestions were before the { bituminous coal mining industry to- | day for settlement of the lengthy list of controversies which have distupted | I the ‘industry in recent years, as mem- bers of the coal conference, cai'ed earlier in the weeic by Secretary of Labor Davis, went lack to their homes after three days of conference with the Labor Secretary The first sugges ] establishment of a “czar” or arbiter for the industry. to exercise power over its operations comparable to that exercised by such individual leader- ship in other industries. A statement by Secretary Davis proposed a man of the type of Charles Evans Hughes for the post. Second Proposal Considered. The second proposed a Government commission to regulate coal mining aiong lines which have heen put for- ward in other discussions. Many operators of the on contemplates rger bitur companies in the terri- considered. uding northern Virginia. Pennsylvania and absented themselves from the conference. When the meetings journed lust might Secretary Davis issued a statement on hehalf of th conferees. c “Tackle the coal sit what angle you will. ovel ~ment is the snag you strike ever time, and the snag is a tough one,” Secretary Davis' final statement said. “This chaos in coal becomes all the more a matter of concern to the entire country in view of the effect it has on the producing and purchasing power of a potential 3.000.000 of our popula- tion. This overdeveloped industry provides only part-time employment to more than 600,000 miners, * * ¢ “If ever an industry needed a czar coal is that industry. This confer- ence, as I have already stated, de- veloped the suggestion of one way out. Duty of Leaders Outlined. “The other is for leaders in coal to submit the industry to control by an umpire or overlord. If they did so they could bring about order and sta- Dilization at a stroke. “Such a man would. in himself, take over the functions of the suggested rationalizing and arbitration commis- sions. The man selected would have to he one of ability, courage, decision and heart., a man of the type of Charles Evans Hughes." John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, was ’kept in bed by a eold and consequently did not attend the final session. Names of operators attending were not given out by the Labor Department.
