PRESIDENT HEARS PLAN
OF MINE WAGE BASE
Representative Bowman Discusses
Minimum Proposal, Affecting
Delivery Contracts.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The possibility of bringing about an
agreement among coal operators upon a
wage below which they would not go in
contracting for the delivery of coal was
discussed with President Hoover yester-
day by Representative Bowman, Sc
publican, of West Virginia.
Bowman said after his visit to the
White House that he regarded this as
one of the vital approaches to solution
of the problems confronting the coal
industry and that he had gained the
impression that the President held the
same view.
The West Virginia member expressed
hope that the operators in his State
would be able to work out such an
agreement.
Under existing conditions, Boyman
said, operators in negotiating for a coal
contract frequently make their bid so
low that they are forced to reduce the
wages of the miners to fulfill the terms
OF the agreement.
If minimum wage could be agreed
upon by the operators, he added, this
would give all the companies a basis to
work on in bidding for contracts with
the railroads and the, wages of the en-
ployes would not be affected.
