tions that industry is on the upgrade.
according to message sent by Presi-
dent Harding to representatives of the
mining industry and read TO delegates
at the twenty-fourth annual conven-
ton OF the American Mining Congress
here last night.
He requested delegates TO formulate,
II possible, plans for regulating the
production and distribution or coal to
secure employment the year round
for both capital and labor. and thus
prevent congestion of transportation
facilities and high coal prices.

nounced that the Presidents sueges-
tion would be considered In a mandate

gram for the mining industry.
