Lengthy Analysis
After a lengthy analysis of the
prodigious government expenditures
of recent years, the following meas
ures were recommended as entirely
sound and tending to create local.
state and national financial SOL
vency:
l. Issue of federal funds for abb
solutely necessary relief only where
private, local and state resources are
inadequate.
2. Cease using federal funds for
local purposes or for regulation of
matters which the constitution
places exclusively within the domain
of states.
3. Reduce, and as soon as prac-
ticable eliminate. federal investment
or loans to local governments and
private enterprise.
4. Discontinue all federal grants
or matching allotments to states.
Refund Public Debt
5. Refunding OF public debt OBJ
legations where this will reduce an
nual interest charges.
6. In refunding governme n /
debts, or creating new debts, pro-
vide that all bonds shall be serial
bonds; that is to say. bonds which
must be paid off in approximately
equal numbers each year through
out the life of the issues.
z. Convert the reconstruction
finance corporation into a hquidat-
ing agency 1t is estimated that
such policy would result in collect
ing 81 ,25o,0Oo.000 in the first year.
8. Cease creation Of public works
for the primary purpose of provid-
ing relief, "since experience demon
strates that they provide relatively
little employment, invite waste, and
defer balancing of the budget
9. Discontinue the use Of public
funds to establish or conduct enter
prises competing with private in
dustry and labor.

COALMEN PUSH
GUFFEY BILL

A majority of bituminouS coal
operators voted yesterday to join
the United Mine Workers in push.
ing for passage of the Guffey coal
bill in the hope of averting the
threatened strike Of 100000
miners Sunday.
The operators disagreed on
whether the bill could stand the
test of Supreme Court review,
but most of them agreed to join
the union in urging the bills pas
sage as the only hope Of prevent.
ing the strike.
Miners, through President John
L. Lewis of the U. M. W., have
announced they will not continue
on their jobs after Saturday,
when the agreements reached un.
der the, NRA coIes expire. The
Guffey bill. they argue, will guar.
antee rights lost when the codes
were invalidated.
j. D. A. Morrow, of the Pitts
burgh Coal Company, in which
the Melons have a controlling in
terest, said that his executive
committee advised him the Guf.
fey bill was unconstitutional and
therefore his concern withdrew
from the operators conference.
George Love, Union Golfers Com
pany, and E. P. Jameson, of ia.
mieson Coal & Coke Company,
both of Pittsburgh, also withdrew.
T. G. Essington, of the Illinois
Coal Operators ssociation,
argued that he believed the CUT
bey bill agreed with the require
ments for regulation of inter.
state commerce outlined in the
Supreme Courts NRA decision.
Charles O'Neill, of Peale, Pea
cock & Kerr, influential Eastern
Pennsylvania operators, said the
conference had obtained agree
ment from the United Mine
Workers for revisions of the Guf-
fey bill regarding marketing pro
visions of the Little NRA"
which it would set up for the
soft coal industry.
After the Pittsburgh repre-
sentatives withdrew, the confer
ence voted unanimously to press
for passage of the Guffey bill.
The Washington times., 1935-06-12
President Due
to Act to Halt
Coal Strike
Interna tlonaI News Service


Executive action to prevent the
threatened strike Of 100000 soft
coal miners Sunday was expected
today with President RooseVelts
return to the Capital.
Presidential action is predi-
Gated on the fact that Congress
will be unable to act upon the
Guffey bituminous coal control
bill, demanded by the United Mine
Workers.
The union soft coal miners Of
the Appalachian fields demand
passage of the Guffey bill before
the expiration of their working
contract June Is.
Though the President may be
successful in obtaining the assent
of operators and miners to the
revised Guffey bill, the victory
will be short lived, as Southern
and western operators already
have in preparation a contest to
question the constitutionality Of
the bill. generally termed the
little NRA."
Operator support from the East
already has suffered a great loss
with the announcement of with
drawal of three large companies
in Western Pennsylvania.
Withdrawal of the Pittsburgh
Coal Company, a Mellon organi-
zation, was accompanied by sim
liar announcements from the
Union Galleries and the Jamie
son Coal and Coke Company.
The Mellon operated KoppcrS
Coal Company of West Virginia
has also withheld support from
the Guffey bill.
Other Pennsylvania operators
continue their support for the bill.
Their stand, as represented by
Charles O'Neil, their spokesman,
is that the amended bill will
obtain congressional approval and
that the operators might just as
well have a say in the construction
of the measure.
