WITHDRAWAL BY The kenlusky coal operators
OF their cooperation m the effort which Is beng

years Of turmoil and uncertainty, was most unfortunate
and it 70 be hoped that nothing will occur at their eon7

Virginia operators to take similar STEP

So/far nothing has transpred in this investigation which
need excite the fears of coal operators but should be
remembered that all the time congress in both branches
