 Ten Per Cent

SEATTLE, Aug. 1S.-An evidence of in- creasing business and more prosperous in- dustrial conditions is found in the vol untary action of the Pacific Coast Coal Company. It has just ordered a general advance in the wages of it's employees in the coal mines of Newcastle and Frank lin. Nearly 600 men are employed, and taking effect September 1, an average in- crease of 10 per cent will be made in the entire pay roll.
 All the men who work at these mines are under yearly contract. At Franklin most of them expire in January next, while at Newcastle they run until April 1899. The company could thus hold the men to the old rates. but as Manager C. J. Smith states, ''The advance is made because there Is an increased demand for coal which has kept the mines running on full time and it is the wish to allow the workmen to share In the prosperity of the company
