regions of Pittsburgh and central
Pennsylvania was before the senate
interstate commerce committee to-
day as it proceeded with its inquiry
into conditions resulting from the
long suspension of union mining in
that and two other states.
Made public by the subcommittee
which recently visited the region for
a first hand inspection, the report
related stories Of men and women
running Wild" Of the brutality Of
the coal and iron police family
evictions, deaths, shootings, attacks
on young girls, and cases Of extreme
poverty. !.
While little time was given BY the
subcommittee to the economic side
Of the controversy between the un.

to believe that the coal industry gen
orally in this country is not in a
prosperous condition"
The report urged that the invcsti-

in every detail, looking forward to
some solution by legislation that
will put the great coal industry of
America OH reasonably prosperous
basis"
The subcommittee directed its
