Legislation Proposed

NEW YORK, April l (By The
Associated Press). - Congressional
action to prohibit over-development
of the coal industry was proposed to-
day by Phillip Murray, vice president
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 suf-
ficient coal for the nations needs, he
declared.
THE reason for this condition is
the greediness of corporations who
hold u~ndeveloped coal lands to make
their paid profits. New mines are
opened before there is a market for
their product, millions of dollars in
vested in property that al only
work part time; 10000 more than
the industry ear keep employed are
drawn into it,"
