Denver, March GA compulsory
arbitration law FOR the settlemen, OF
disputes between coal operators aud
their employees. as one OF the recom-
mendatons OF the federal strike in
Nestisation committee. was fore
shadowed today By questions put 10
-. L. Doyle, secretary and treasurer
OF District Is, United Mine Workers
OF America, by Representative How
ara sutherland, of West Virginia In
TIE examination OF Doyle. Mr.. suther.
lana questioned the witness closely on
the subject Of arbitration, his aues-
lions indicating that he would uree
the enactment of federal statute
similar 10 the Canadian dispute ACT"
which Includes coal mining among the
Industries In which controversies be-
tween labor ana capital must be sub
mitted to boards OF mediation.
The method Is similar 10 that pro-
'ided IN the amended Erdman act for
the settlement OF disputes between
railroads and their employees.
II is Mr. Sutherland's theory that
tucl Is public necessity second only
To transportation. and that In. rights
OF the public should be protected
through the power OF the federal gov
trnment 60 regulate Interstate com
mcree. Cnder his plan the contro-
Norsies would be submitted 10 a hoard
of mediation empowered 20 summon
witnesses under oath. and whose md.
ings would be binding on both parties.
During the period OF arbitration, the
miners would be compelled 20 remain
az work. Thus the public supply OF
coal would be provided without inter-
ruption. Mr. sutherland cited the in
creased price Of coal In Colorado last
fan, and IL recent coal famine In Brit
ism Columbia. as proving the right OF
the puzzle To enforce a constant sup
ply OF coal.
