Harold Thompson, mechanician, and
the lone passenger of the airplane,

The fishing smack attempted to

not desire to cause his family anxiety
as he was supposed to have gone on

There is no question but that the

WASHINGTON, &C, Aug. 22-
While the senate labor committee
was taking the first formal action to-
wards the creation of a coal fact find
ing commission recommended by the
president. the president let it be
known today that he was disposed to
insist that the investigating body be
made up exclusively of impartial rep
resentatives of the public without
special representation from the min
ers and operators. A bill for a COM
mission in which the president would
be free to choose representatives OF
the miners, operators or public as he
saw fit was favorably reported by
the senate committee.
At the same time the public service

ing independently refused to strike
from its tentative bills problems which
would prohibit memberships Of the
commission to have interest IN the
coal industry.

for success of the New York confer.
