WASHINGTON. June 30 (AP),
Through two of his cabinet members, President Hoover is seeking a way of improving economic conditions in the bituminous coal mining industry.
The president made this announcement today in a telegram to John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, who had asked him to call a conference to consider the industry's problems.
"The administration is desirous of lending every possible assistance to any constructive program put forward by operators and miners," Hoover said.
He added that he had asked Secretaries Lamont and Doak to advise him as to the present attitude of those connected with the industry as well as others interested in the bituminous coal situation.
The president called attention to the fact that the many intricate economic problems and competitive conditions existing in a majority of the bituminous coal mining districts are of general knowledge and have been the subject of investigation and study by both federal and state agencies.
Lewis' request for action by the government was made in an effort to reach an agreement whereby miners' living conditions could be improved through stabilization of the industry.
