WASHINGTON, June 2S. --FP)-
Preparing for the administration of its
new president, A. o. Wharton, who
assumes Office July 1, the executive
council of the international Associa-

cular cancelling all fines placed upon
members who disobeyed the railroad
shop strike order of June, 1922.
This action was taken in order to
induce large numbers of men to re-
turn to the organization, who either
failed to strike or who returned to
work before the strike was declared
off on their respective roads. An or
ganizing drive is now under way.

in the last twelve years with capital
OF 1S9,0oe,000 pounds made gs7 900, coo
pounds profit and proposes the fol-
lowing for the reorganization of the
coal industry:
1. The scientific reorganization of
the coal and allied industries on ma
tional basis, with the closing down of
uneconomic pits, and provision for
the miners thus displaced.
2. The elimination of the middle
man by the municipal distribution of
coal at home, and by the formation of
cooperative selling agencies for the
export trade, thus increasing the net
proceeds received by the collieries,
without increasing the price to the
consumer.
8. The removal from the industry
of the burden of royalties and way
leaves, which now absorb 6,250,OOO
pounds per year.
