Ken) on Favors U. S. Regulation of Coal Industry lowi Senator Would Establish Federal Agency Affecting TX'orlen and Operitori Alike. Washington, Jin. 28. Reconv mendationt that statutes be enacted to compel the incorporation of labor unions and that there be set up a code of laws and a federal agency for regulation of the coal indutry, fleeting employes and employer! alike, were nude to the senate yciter day as a result of the investigation by its labor committee into the Wet Virginia-Kentucky coal field dlsur ders. . Chairman Kenyan ut the investi gation committee, was author of the proposal for a federal regulatory tribunal, and the suggestions for obligatory incorporation of unions came from Senator I'hipps, Colo tado; Warren, Wyoming, and Ster ling, South Dakota, all republicans. The three senators supported Sen ator Kcnyon's proposal for the reg ulatory body, but declared that tin losa incorporations were forced, the agency would have no legally re Kinsibl4 body with which to deal. Mr. Kcnyon's statement declared that mutual concessions must be made by both operators and miners in the West Virginia troubles to end the conflicts, but his colleagues held that the law should provide that when agreements were reached through arbitration or otherwise, the promises thus exacted must be kept. Senators Phipps, Warren and Ster ling also differed from Mr. Kenyon a to the responsibility for the West Virginia conditions, where Mr. Ken jon charged that both miners and operators were measurably respon sible. Their view that "too much stress has been laid upon the point where operators were to blame and not enough is said about the crimes, including murder, where the em ployes were guilty."
