1t is quite generally understood that
the coal strike is liable to be settled be-
tween the operators and the miners on
the basis of 10 per cent increase in wages
and hour day. Iuasmuch as wages
are being advanced by railroad corpora.
tons generally this advance, taking
into consideration the character of the
work its liability to accident and physical
disability, should be fully as much as in
other vocations II not more.

The attempt of the operators and
miners in Pennsylvania to get together
and settle their difficulties is a move in
the right direction, but it ought to have
been made six months ago. The opera
tors were dead set against it then but
are the moving parties In favor of 1t now.
They have evidently learned a thing or
two and probably the miners have. The
country has, certainly.

The latest is to the effect that serious
hitch has occurred in the attempt to set
tie the coal strike by conference between
the operators and miners, and that the
services of the commission will be again
required. The operators change their
minds, 1t is said, because of protests of
the independent operators. Fortunately
the mines are being worked all the while
and coal is being distributed over a large
extent of territory.
