from Robert C. Hill. chairman of

said that four OF the companys
mines in the Somerset coal fields
OF Pennsylvania and six in the
I'airmont field Of West Virginia,
arc being shut down.
This will throw out of employ
mcnt about $500 men, or 20 per
cent of the employees in the two
fields affected. but this means that
for the remaining so per cent far
better conditions will exist" Nh
Hill said.
1T is hoped that they will be
able to work full time because of
this measure instead of the part
time on which they were scheduled
before" he said. The company eN-

nouncement OF the company's pol
Icy sent to other coal producers

soidation Coal company.

The Consolidation Coal company,
the statement of policy said, sees
no relief from the coal industry's
present plight in cutting prices, nor
any contribution to future stability
In cutting wages. It laid down the
principle that the primary object
of both mine labor and mine man
agcment must be the most regular
