a more active hand In their man- gement.

In connection with ihe latter move, the interior secretary and fuels administrator asked 29 major mine owners to meet with him here tomorrow. He hoped, he told them in s telegram. that the miners‘ wage controversy would be settled quickly and the mines returned to their private owners, but indica- tions were that "the government will be compelled to continue cust- ody and operation of the mines for a. considerable period of time."

less. and green-salted fish to the United kingdom, the United States, the British West indies,

Porto Rico, and Latin America, on a quota basis.
