Until a way ia fonnd nnder
which coal production is regulated by publio demaod the mining
industry caooot regain its proper
place aa one of the mainstays ot
Pennsylvania prosperity, Walter
H. Glasgow, secretary of mines,
said.
'•It ia an accepted fact," Glasgow aaid, "that there are two
many mines and too many miners
J oat what oao be done to control
and stabilize the industry is a.
problem as tbe anti-trust laws
make combinations of operators a
difficult, it not an impossible teak.
Although tbe operators are
awake to the situation little rec
ent advancement has been made
to meet the problems confronting
the industry, Glasgow asserted.
Tbe secretary takea tbe view
that with tiie talent employed   in
the  industry, with   a  vast and
valuable experience to build upon
it seems possible tbat tboee vitally
interested,  both   operators   and
miners, ahoald be able to meet
the situation intelligently, coura
geously  and    successfully     and
restore to a languishing industry
ita pioper prestige and power.
