IT Gary. executive head of the

astounded the Stanley Steel lnvesti-
eating Committee by quoting senator

thority for his charges
Stanley opened the hearing by ques-
tioning Gary as to a recently pub
lished report of the sale Of ll,OOU
acres of coal in the Pittsburg field
from the Pittsburg Coal Company and
the Monongahela Consolidated Coal q
Coke Company. Gary admitted tha'
the sale was practically completed
Ht declared. however, that there was
a GREAT deal of coal outside OF the

Under a fire of questions Gary ,,',.l oue'
lined a contract by whlch the Ele.s' s
burg Coal Company and the MonVh, l,,

that you are now preparing 90 gan

sation.
