sny Associated Press.I
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The
biggest problem ahead of the coal
administration, as seen by officials
who have studied the situation, is
the labor situation. The general
reduction of prices in the bitumin-
Gus fields probably means that

on the high prices producers have
been receiving for their output.
II there are strikes and produc-
tion is reduced the government can
take over and operate the mines, but
ii has no power to compel labor to
