A gov ernment tribunal for regulation ot the coal Industry under a statutory code of law enforced only by the power of public opinion, was -recommended in a report presented to the senate today by Chairman Kenyon of the labor committee which recent ly Investigated disorders in the West Virginia-Kentucky coal fields. The report held that both coal op erators and miners were responsible for the recent fatal conflicts and property destruction In West Vir ginia, and said mutual conceaslons by the coal operators and United Mine Workers would have to be made to end the conflict. "The issue is perfectly plain," said Senator Kenyon's report. "The op erators In this particular section ot West Virginia openly announce that they will not employ men belonging to the unions. ' On the other hand th United Mine Workers are determined to unionize these fields, which are practically the only large and : Im portant coal fields . in , the United States not unionized." a . ' .' ' The proposal for a federal coal tri bunal and code ot laws applying both to operators and miners waa his per sonal suggestion, Senator Kenyoa ' said.
