giles have prevented any one laying in
the large stocks usually prepared for
winter.
THE car shortage has curtailed pro-
duction.
There is nothing the operators can do
but insist the miners comply with the
contracts.
I'VE have laid the situation before
President Wilson and now await his ac-
ton.
I'VE made no recommendations. but
