Federal Safety Measure
Opposed by Mine Operators
By the Assoeiotsd Press


Spokesman for coal mine OPP
orators yesterday laid down a bar
rage of opposition to q bill to
give the Federal mine inspectors
authority to enforce safety regu-
lations.
A Senate Labor Subcommittee
heard criticism of the proposal
from operators in West Virginia,
Alabama, Colorado and Utah.
c. j. Flippen. Charleston, w.
Va, speaking for the Kanawha
Coal Operators Association. said,
safety cannot be legislated into
any coal mine, or into the mind
of man."
Walter B. Odendahl of the Utah
Fuel Co.. Sunnyside, Utah, told
the group that Federal inter-
vention cannot promote or i'm
prove" the safety situation.
Similar sentiments were ex-
pressed by w. F. Cobb of the
Alabama Mining Institute. Carbon
Hill, Ala, who added that the
Bureau Of Mines has been and
will continue to be of material
benefit to the mining industry as
an experimental. investigative. ed
ucational and advisory agency"
It's value. he said. would be
lessened If 1t becomes "a policing
agency"
