Washington.-FreedOm from "artlf-
cially provoked labor troubles" and
from inadequate transportation, ac-
cording to letter from an authorized
committee Of bituminous operators,
filed by request Of thP United States
Coal Commission, are the two require
ments most needed by the coal in
dustry
A denial that acknowledged demor-
alizationr could be said to exist in the
industry because of recent difficulties,
and suggestion that extension of the
"autocratic control" of the United
Mine Workers of America would add
to the difficulties, were incorporated
in the report, which was made through
the National Goal Association.
The commission asked generally for
the employers views of the direction
that should be given to its effort in
the endeavor to comply with the law
requiring it to ascertain all the facts
concerning coal production, and the
operators letters set out seven points
that they considered should be covered.
On specific questions from the Com
mission concerning the cause of strikes,
the operators returned answers criti-
cal Of the miners union.

Meeting Of City Council With Business
Men Results in the Naming Of o

on Monday evening and quie a num-

but the business men who were pres
ent. The report Of the auditors who
have recently completed very thor
ough Investigation Of the city's books
was read and gone into item by item
Nothing was finally done except
that council authorized Mayor Samuel
to name committee Of business men
to 60 into the financial affairs Of the
city and make suggestions to council.
The Mayor named on this committee
e. T. Kirk, Chairman; J. M. Collins,
Clarke Rogers, John M. Hunt. N. s.
Calhoun. H. ]. Cochran, Sherman Arm,
W. II. Rees and ]. Wesley Lee.
This committee is very representa-
tive and Is composed Of leading busi-
ness men in whom the taxpayers have
the greatest confidence. Their sug-
gestIons to council will be awaited
with interest and no doubt but that
council should follow out their sug-
gestions.
The action of selecting such COM
mittee to recommend to council what
and how to do in an alleged crisis
points out clearly that the Ledgers
argument for several years that men
OF the highest business ability and in
tegrity only should be elected to coun-
