Three Reasons For
Coal Trouble Says
Labor Leader Here

There are three reasons for the de-
of the coal industry, ac-
cording TO Edgar Fenton, state presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor rho Is In Ardmore today.
In the first place the business is
overdeveloped. That is there are too
many properties and too much expan-
sion and Improvement, largely because
of the initiation of the business during
the war.
In the second place the competi-
ton of fuel oil and especially in the
southwest.
In the third place too many men
are employed in the mining trade.
Mr. Fenton declares that the miners
have been driven TO the wall by the
activities during the past two years.
"If they should take a cut now" he
declared, they would have no assur-
ance of more work and they would
have no assurance the cut would get
to the consumer"
Mr.. F'enton is in Ardmore to assist
in the organization Of Central Trades
Council tonight The organization
meeting will be held at Carpenter
hail.
