Earlier in the day Nicholas Orem,

county tax, am sure it would be
brought about"

Before Judge Warrum testified Rep
resentative Snyder, Democrat. of
PENNSYLVANIA. who introduced the bill
In the House, had urged speedy en-
Actment.
The only opposition to the measure
Snyder told a House Ways and Means
Subcommittee. comes from those in

kents not only starvation wages. but
sales below production costs, and OPP

velts request.

testified. Prices we're established
without any exploiting Of the public.
Mine workers were organized and they
secured collective wage agreements in
practically every field. But after
some "A months of the code, the old
market psychology broke out. price
cutting and chiSelng became more
and more manifest, and the legal
machinery for enforcement failed.
1t was owing to this price-cutting
that all efforts to renew the present
wage scale between the operators and
miners. which expired April of this
year. have utterly failed, the oper-
etors are dropping back into the red
again. and in any event claim they
are unwilling to negotiate a scale
of fair wages until they know that
there is some form of Government
control which will stabilize the indus
try against its old cut-throat prac-
tees"
Officials of the United Mine Work
ers and some Of the operators con-
tend price controls provided in the
bill would give the industry sufficient
income to meet the miners wage
and hour demands.
