BRADLEY CALLS
FOR WAGE CUT
IN COAL MINING

Cincinnati. Nov. ls-Declarlng that

terial progress In the adjustment OF
their labor situation. J. G. Bradley.
Dundon. w. Va. president OF the Ma
tional Coal association. in an address
before the board of directors quarterly
session here today. declared that ad-
justment must come in the coal In
dustry, and that with It must be coupled
an adjustment OF rates.
While the sense Of the meeting was in
accord with the statements OF President
Bradley, no official action was taken by
the directors OF the proposed adjust
ments The associations constitution
prevents the assoc!at ton acting officially
on tho question OF wages. It was said.
The resolution was passed by the
directors, urging President Harding TO
Issue an executive order, transferring
the publication Of the weekly statistics
On coal production from the department
OF the interior 10 the department OF
commerce.
The reason for the change. the resolu-
tfon stated, was that the United States
geological survey lacks funds TO con-
tinue its publication.
