TO ASK NO INCREASE
MINERS OF IOWA WILL BE CON-
TENT WITH PRESENT
WAGE SCALE.
Interview Given by Two Of the District
Officers States the Position of the
/. Coal Workers of the State-EIection
Of Officers for Next Year.

That the miners Of Iowa will salts
fly themselves with a continuation OF
the present prices and conditions as
regard the coal interests in the state
Is the sense of an interview granted
by Edwin Perry and John P. White,
president and secretary-treasurer re-
spectively of District 10, United Mine
Workers of America. Since the fail
ure Of the joint convention in Indian
apolis to come to an agreement regard
ing prices for mining coal in the east
ern competitive field, rumors have
been many in Iowa as to the probable
stands to be taken by the operators
and miners in this state. As the time
for the convention of the miners az.
proaches these rum1is are becoming
rev End more positive and the latest
ones are~tp the effect that while the
operators will demand a reduction all
along the line. of ten per cent below
the prices paid during the scale year
which closes April 1, the miners will
ask for an increase of ten per cent.
The interview given by Messrs
Perry and White states that
the miners will be content this year to
let well enough alone and will accept
the same scale as has been in force
during the past year. The miners
officials state. in support of their stand
that the conditions Of trade are as
stable as they were last year and that
there is no reason why reduction in
the wages of the miners should be
made. In the course of the interview
the following view is taken Of the
situation:
"The perpetuity and success of this
nation rests upon intelligent action of
all its people. Well paid and content
ed, that proverbial maxim that de-
clares that nations only become great
in proportion to the intelligence of the
masses of its people, should serve as
an inspiration to the average business
man to study this great and intricate
labor question before passing judg
ment.
'"There is crisis approaching the
business world and labor is now going
through crucial test that will ulti
mately insure an era of unprecendent
led peace and tranquility. The Issue
however, must be met and this ques
ton of supremacy between capital an6
labor must be subordinated and be
come foreign to all"
Questions and Answers.
The following questions and the an
swers to them conclude the inter
view:
First. Would general reduction
In wages increase consumption.
Second. Would not such a suicidal
policy have a tendency to make com

petition more acute and spirited?
And eventually demoralize the coal
industry and all other dependent in
dustries?
Third. Has the price of coal de-
creased in Oskaloosa or any other
large city of our state?
Then if the answer is in the neg
ative, which undoubtedly it will be by
all fair minded and impartial citizens,
then what good would result from a
reduction in wages? The fact of the
matter is, the miners/of Iowa would
have more valid reasons to ask an
advance than to suffer reduction.
But not unmindful of the public that
are now grooming under high prices,
all along the line, we are going to
content ourselves with present prices
and conditions. And we desire to say
that in the most emphatic terms, our
miners will not accept anything less
than the present scale, without a bit
ter and relentless struggle.
1--WE emphasize our determination
by saying that we will fight it out all
summer if necessary. In our judg-
ment, however, there is no cause for
alarm, when the fellows that are now
advocating a reduction recover their
reason and equilibrium, they will see
the Importance of receding from their
untenable position, and thus avoid
the consequences of q conflict with or
ganized labor. -. "

rights 49, all hazards, and also its
