BILL INTRODUCED
DEGREES of Coal Board to
BE Enforced by Pub

(By the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb IA
Establishment OF federal tribunal
and code OF laws for regulation OF
the coal industry was proposed in
a bill introduced today by Senator
Kenyon, Republican, Iowa, chair
man OF the senate labor commit.
tee which investigated the recent
West Virginia coal field disorders.
The bill follows the line of Mr..
Kenyon's recent report on the
West Virginia situation and will
probably be his last before he re-
tires to go on the federal bench. 1t
would create a National Coal
Mining Bord." DEGREES OF the
Board would be enforced by public

made punishable.
The board would bb composed OF

;presented by the Entted slyiIlls

nomination would be made by the
National Coal association and the
Anthracite Operators association.
Under the bill employees and en-
ployers would be required to make
every possible effort 10 settle dis
putes between themselves, but in
event Of failure would be required
to submit the controversies to the
board.
Decisions Of the board would re-
Quire assent of majority. The
board members would receive an
nual salaries Of $4,000. The coal
mining code" detailed in the bill
follows the recommendations Of
Senator Kenyon in his report on
the West Virginia controversy. 1t
includes eleven principles. The
first would declare coal to be "a
public necessity and In It's produc-
tion and distribution the public
interest is predominant" Others
would declare for collective bar
gaining, human standards in fixing
wages and working conditions, ade-
quate return for capital invested, q
six day standard working week on
an eight hour basis and would, pro
hIbIt. employment OF women or
children under 16 years Of age.
Other provisions would prohibit in

with union men seeking peaceably
to organize.
The bill was referred to the sen.
ate labor committee.

Man Standing Trial for
Murder Deserted in
Courtroom

According to a story that is
floating around criminal court
this afternoon, the brisk winter
breezes and frosty air today had a
powerful effect on the appetites OF
several attaches OF the courthouse.
It seems that when the dinner
bell rang at noon, calling for a
recess for an hour In the murder
trial Of Matt Stanovich, charged
with having killed Victor Kocsis
at Grant Town last October, every
one was SO hungry they made the
proverbial bee line out Of the
courtroom. In a few seconds the
defendant In the case found him
self alone, except for Frank Amos
and one or two other less hungry
gentlemen, and not a soul with
authority TO escort him back to
jail for his noon chow.
Whom the court convened again
about / O'Clock this afternoon, the
state put their chief witness on
the stand, Constable Skinner Of
Grant Town. who explained what
he knew as to what happened on
the night Of the murder.
Other witnesses examined this
morning included Steve Miltich
Dewey Tennant and Mary Urich,
all Of the state.
While the state had not rested
its case carly this afternoon, 1t
was thought by those attending
the trial that the case would go
to the jury late today. 1t was
hinted that IL the case progressed
we'll this afternoon a short night
session might be held in order to
permit the jury getting the case
before tomorrow.
The case is one Of circumstan-
tial evidence so far and some Of
the evidence introduced thus far
has tended to be contradictory in
some respects.
