days a week, if he pays him enough
to live on in two"
"The base of our entire trouble to-
day lies in not enough production and
the 3O-hour week demand is a propos-
al to try and meet the trouble by ad-
ding to the cause of it."
General statements of the case by
both miners and operators have been
submitted to the commission which
was prepared today to begin the ex-
animation of the real facts Al issue.
AS the investigation continues rep.
resentatives of the districts outside
