Guffey Snyder coal bill under attack in Congress
Washington June 25 The Guffey Snyder coal bill seeks 300 million dollars for government purchase of coal lands and faces opposition from miners in Illinois. George Dowell of Duquoin warns the measure could shut hand operated mines, displace thousands, and drive workers to subsistence farming while unions back bargaining provisions. Dowell and William Peck argue changes could undermine Progressive miners.
