DOES NOT INCLUDE
LOCAL OPERATORS

Information was received this
afternoon from Secretary of Labor
James j. Davis from Washington.
D. c., stating that his reference
to coal operators refusing to meet
the miners only applied to the
central competitive states and did
not include the coal operators OF
Northern West Virginia. Secre-
tary Davis authorized his message
to be given publicity.
This reply was IN response to the
second telegram sent to him by
George S. Brackett, Secretary OF
the Northern West Virginia Coal
Operators Association. which was
as follows: "Your telegram re-
celved for which We thank you but
does not explain to the public our
protest. Published statements have
given false impression that all op.
orators refuse to confer with union.
This has created feeling through
out our region and among our en-
ployees that we are at fault In the
failure to negotiate. Do you not
agree that the operators In North
ern West Virginia have done all
they could to carry out your wishes
and keep the mines at work? II
SO will you be good enough to
make the matter public?
