FAv0RS COAL COMBINE
John Mitchell Thinks Operator.
Should Agree on Prices.

Washington. April determination
Of coal mine operators SO they might
agree on prices, was advocated by
John Mitchell. former president of the
United Mine Workers of America to-
day. before the federal commission on
industrial relations.
He argued that the governor should
have supervision over such an ar
rangement. Forty per cent of all coal
mined in the United States was wasted
he said, because mine operators could
not dispose of 1t at a profit
Mr.. Mitchell thought a federal in
dustrial council. with power to inves-
tigate causes of threatened or pend
ing industrial strikes, would be of
great value, provided it had no power
Of compulsory arbitration.
The coal miner is so much better
off today than he was in 1897 that
there Is no basis of comparison" said
Mr.. Mitchell, "but I believe the miner
should be among the best paid workers
| in America
Mr.. Mitchell was the first witness at
| a series of hearings begun today by
the commission, to investigate collec-
tive bargaining Cancellation and ar
bitration in different industries. Coal
| mining was taken up first and other
industries will be considered in order.

| sided at the hearing in the absence OF

In view Of Porter's motion before
