GASOLINE KILLS A CHILD OLD WAGE SCALE STANDS
Coal Miners Will Receive
Same Pay As in the
Past

The coal mine workers of Wyoming
under the leadership of Thomas Glib
sen, and the mine operators of the same
state, under the leadership Of P. j.
Quealy, reached a complete agreement
last night on a wage scale for the COM
ing year for the entire state of Wyoming
and later many of the delegates left for
their homes The wage scale agreed
upon is Identical in every particular
with the wage scale in existence during
the past year. In addition to a general
wage scale applying to all mines. it
provided for special rates Of wages to
meet peculiar conditions existing at dif-
feTem mines. The miners We're well
satisfied with the old scale and were
more particular as to provisions looking
10 the safety of the mines and their san
ltary conditions These requirements
were fully met by an agreement in addi-
ton TO the wage scale, and it was the
opinion of both sides that there Will be
no friction between the workers and
the operators during the coming year.
Mr.. Gibson, who is president of Dis
trict -, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, covering the entire state of Wyo-
ming said that much valuable legisla
ton had been secured in recent years
looking to the safety and comfort of the
workers, and coal mine inspectors had
been given much greater authority, and
everything pointed to fewer casualties
and better conditions In every way.
