the appointment of n committee of three
miners, three operators and three disin-
terested citizens to formulate some plan
to stop the cut-throat methods. Colonel

As Colonel Rend resumed his seat
there was an unbrokcn silence. Mr..
Burns, who stood listening all the time,
moved just n little from n studied posi-
ton he had assumed nj the beginning.
