MINERS WAGES RAISED

Price of Coal

Get Six Per Cent. Advance on Selling
Price of Coal.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Sept. 29.-The Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western Com
pany began with the first half of this
month to pay its employees a per
cent. advance on the sliding scale, as
computed on the advance in the selling
price of coal at tidewater
The increase percentage on wages
paid by this company on the general
April advance of 10 per cent. under tho
sliding scale is as follows: Paid in
June, , per cent. advance; paid in July,
5 per cent. advance; paid in August, 5
per cent. advance; paid in September,
8 per cent. advance.
The present outlook shows that there
will likely be no decrease in the selling
price of coal until next spring, the pos
sibilities being for a further advance.
which NAY bring the miners percent
age up to 10 per cent, as the coal COM
panies are guarding the output to pre-
vent break in rates at tidewater.
The Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western company, by paying a six per
cent. advance this month has admitted
that the selling price of coal is now
$3.50 at tidewater. 1t will have to sell
at IS ton at that point before the
miners will receive 10 per cent. advance
on the sliding scale.
