OAL STUATION " NTERS POLTS Lewis Criticises Hammond's Action in Statement Philadelphla, Sept. 8 (P —Anthra- elte miners believe the push they say John Hays Hammond, chalrman of the U. 8. coal commission of | 1923, 18 trying to give the hard coal question would take it into the halls | of congress, freighted with the bur- den of soft coal. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, in dealing along this line with re- cent conferences between Mr, Ham- mond and President Coolidge at Swampscott issued a statement here last night which s being re-read today with special care for any in- terlinear meanings it might con- tain, Mr. Lewis, openly avowing a con- viction that the present anthracite suspension of 148,000 mine workers had now been brought “into the realm of political equations,” said: *“Responsibility for the talk about nationalization lies with Mr. John Hays Hammond, who according to Swampscott dispatches, has been haunting the lawns of White Court pestering the president to breathe life into the recommendations of Hammond's defunct coal commis- sion, “It is Mr. Hammond, and not the United Mine Workers, who proposes that the federal administration shall |S cast. overboard its policy of non-in- terference with busir Hammond who proposes that the re- publican majority in congress shall depart from its traditional policy and through legislation establish a semi-regulation of the anthracite in- dustry. “Surely the astute Mr. Hammond shculd appreciate that the Invest- ment bankers of New York and Philadelpida who control the cite industry do not desire t ing hand of congress to bar | scornful public gaze the amazing profits which they are taking fror a natural monopoly of a public necessity. “Mr. Hammend should also know that the federal congress cannot dif- ferentiate between anthracite and bituminous mines when dealing with the basic necessity of coal. It is ob- vious that any legislation enacted by ' congress dealing with anthracite must similarly be superimposed upon the bituminous industry. “Mr. Hammond, by his vain mut- ly terings, has brought the present controversy into the realm of poli- teal equations. By the same token he has mixed ‘the devil's stew’ for the forthcoming congress to sup.” # Mr. Lewis in citing talk of na- tionalization of the coal mines re- ferred to recent reports from the mining region that a movement w: jyunder way there to revive considera tion of such a plan. Nationalization was originally outlined in the fall of 1922 by Christ J. Golden, presi- dent of district 9 and members of §v nationalization committee appoint- e& by the United Mine Workers to study the subject. The report of the committea has not yet been presented to the union tor adoption or rejection at a hien- nial convention. The present advo- cacy of nationalization is according- Iy attributed to groups within seek- ing to commit the organization even- tually in its favor.

The reason for sounding this note now is the subject of cons able speculation. Qld Felt Campaign Hat To Be Worn hy Marines Washington, Sept. 3.—The old- style felt campaign hat, similar to the headgear worn by American troops in the Spanish-American war, has been officially re-adopted by the Marine corps for use with the sum- X mer field uniform.
