Washington Mar. 30 The president
today authorized the puolication of
two telegrams received last night.
One is from John M. Winder chair-
man of the Bituminous Coal Operat-
ors association of Indianapolis the
other is signed jointly by John Mitch-
ell president of the miners union
and Francis L. Robbing the largest
operator in tike Pittsburg district.
The telegram from Winder proposes
that the president appoint a com mis-
labor in the coal mines of the territory
involved. He proposes that the corn-
mission shall report its findings to-
gether with its recommendations and
suggests that the commission be
given power to adrunister oaths and
compel the attendance of witnesses.
The telegram from Mitchell and
Bobbins takes issue with the state-
ments contained in the telegram sign-
ed by Winder saying that it does not
'represent the real facts. Mitchell
and Bobbins assert that one half the
tonnage of bituminous coal in western
Pennsylvania Ohio Indiana and Ill-
inois is produced by operators who
are witling to pay the compromise
scale.
The president has as yet taken no
action in the matter.

of two years." Mitchell added - The
per centage of tonnage represented
by the operators who are willing Vs
agree to the compromise is sufficient
to avert the national calamity which
would be caused by a complete stop-
page of coal mining."
