GOVERNMENT

Washington. Jan. 16.-Government
ownership of coal mines as a remedy
for strike disturbances was recon-
mended by Senator MARITIME in a re-
port submitted by Chairman Swanson
Of h senate committee which in
vestigated the West Virginia coa1
strike troubles. MARITIME, charged
particularly with an inquiry regard
ing interference with mails and the
employment of contract labor, re-
ported evidence had failed to estab-
lish either OF these conditions.
The report attributed much of the
violence and ~bloodshed in West Vir-
