30-HOUR WEEK IMPOSSIBLE
SAYS SECRETARY WILSON

AT the Washington conference be-
tween the operators and the repre-
sentatives Of the miners, Secretary
of Labor Wilson said that both sides
to the coal controversy were wrong
to certain extent, and declared that
the 30-hour-week demand of the min
ers is impossible as well as the de-
mand for a 60 per cent wage in
crease. Speaking of what he termed
"the stand-pat operators" the Secre-
tary said: "They have not taken the
right attitude either" Calling at
tention to the evil effects of the shor-
tage of fuel throughout the country,
the Secretary said that prompt action
in settling the matter of wages and
hours is urgently necessary, and he
stated that in order to accomplish
this purpose, there must be conces-
siQns BY both sides.
