of having a regular system of giving out any releases, what they call hand-outs, they still wanted press conferences. The releases are the important government news. They're what are really important, not what I think of John L. Lewis's last outburst. That's not the news. The news is the government's inquiry into the wages and hours of the coal mining industry. That's what ought to be given out. That's what the people of the country ought to be finding out through the press, also any actions that are taken to enforce a law, the general results of it, any legislation that is planned and thought about and is introduced. However, that information shouldn't be given to the press before the legislation is introduced and before the Congressmen are made aware of it, I don't think. But that's what they try to pry out of you.

To this day I don't know whether at these conferences they are really trying to find the news or to stir up trouble. I think they want to stir up trouble, because trouble is news. I would say that most of them weren't trying to make trouble for the sake of trouble, except that trouble is news and out of trouble will spring more news. If I say what I think of John L. Lewis's latest outburst, then John L. Lewis can be asked what he thinks of mine, and so can several other people. So you've got a continuing story
