COOPERS SPEECH
HIT MARK SQUARE
Many of States Leading Men De-
clare It Was Complete State
nent Of Coal Producers
Position.

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-Aside from
the widespread favorable comment of the
state press on Congressman Edward
Cooper's recently delivered speech on
food and fuel control, he has been less-
ed with the numerous personal letters
received from ali parts OF the state COM
mending and congratulsting him upon
his explanation and defense of West
virRinis's chief industry and the men
responsible for it. Although identified
with the coal development, Mr.. Cooper's :
address was fair and unprejudiced ~ to
occasioa both the surprise and approval
OF thinking people everywhere.
Ex-Governor A. b White: at is a
strong, sensible and thoroughly sound
argument, fortified 10y facts, experience
and wide knowledge and clear vision.
IL 10 refreshing to read"
Hon. A A, Lilly: "Mr Cooper's re-
marks were to the points, and consider
them very apt and timely. IL occurs to
me that if they are going 10 regulate the
price of coal they really should regulate
the price of steel and various other neces-
sities. To regulate coal and leave un-
| regulated tie things that are necessary
TO purchase in order TO produce coal, is
| crude and one-sided and unfair TO the
coal business
Hon. Virgil l.. Highland: "Am glad
20 know that some member of the West
Virginia delegation has the nerve to
stand mp for the most important industry
In the state. Ii is difficult To understand
just why the coal industry should he
singled out for regulation and iron, cot
ton and other industries be allowed to
escape
Hon. Jas. >. Lakin: 81 found the
speech very interesting and enlighten-
ing, and am sure that no member Of con-
gress at the present time is better equipp-
ed than Mr.. Cooper to discuss and deal
with the. coal situation"
Judge Frank Moynard: "It is a very
clear and convincing speech, and is one
OF the best statements have read on the
high high cost OF living. and is the best
argument have read on the high cost of
coal"
Hon. II. s. White: Congressman
Cooper's speech should be gwen the
widest circulation in West Virginia and
IN every other state. IL contains q valu-
able fund OF correst information on a
subject that our people are very much
interested in, and the nation at lsryr
deeply concerned over. am glad that
Mr.. Cooper has lifted up his voice in
congress in behalf Of our states greatest
industry and the people who have devel-
oped IT, In the future years West Viz
ginis's chief industry will command even
much more attention than IL does now
on account Of our inexhsustible supply
OF the finest grades OF coal yet discover
ed"
Other letters Of congratulate were re-
ceived by Congressman Cooper from
President OF the Senate Wells Goo,Iy-
koontz. Of Williamson; Capt. A. l..
Holt. OF Fsirmont; Hon. Edward w.
knight. OF Charleston.
