GLACE BAY, N.S. (CP)—Dis- trict 26 of the United Mine Work- ers of America (Ind.) said here Tuesday a_ special fact-finding committee set up to study the problems in Nova Scotia’s coal industry had become “ ...a committee that couldn’t find any facts.”

The union’s office here released a statement after its representa- tives on the committee, district president Bill Marsh and re search director James A. Morri- son, walked out of a committee meeting in Halifax Monday.

Mines Minister Manson, chair- man of the committee, said Mon- day the meeting had been ad- journed until January. Mr. Man- son said Tuesday he did not an- nounce the union’s walkout be- cause “it seemed to be a matter for Mr. Marsh to disclose.”
