shooting was reported, but with the

SEEKS TO STOP
DEVELOPMENT
OF NEW MINES
Murray Declares T hat
1000 Could Supply
Needed Coal.

New York, April 1.-(By The
Associated Press.) - Congressional
action TO prohibit over development
of the coal industry was proposed
here today by Philip Murray, vice
preslGeat of the United Mine
Workers of America, as "a cure for
the great evil which has America
in the grip of a nationwide strike
today"
"Ten thousand bituminous mines
are being worked in this country,
when 1000 mines could produce
sufficient coal for the nations
needs" he declared. "The reason
for this condition is the greediness
of corporations who hold undevel-
oped coal lands to make them pay
profits. New mines are opened be-
fore there is market for the pro-
ducts. millions of dollars are in
vested in properties that can only
work part time. 100000 more than
the industry can keep employed are
drawn into it.
@Waste of Human Power
1--WE have seasons of great &C
tiyities in all the mines, followed
by long periods of idleness, men
are required to live 365 days on the
earnings of from 40 to 200 days.
There is a huge waste of human
power, of money and of coal, fol-
lowed by strikes
To prevent such strikes, Murray
proposes that congress pass reg
ulatory legislation prohibiting fur
Their development of bituminous
coal lands for at least ten years. I"
