Their Cause FOR ACTION.
Chicago. Jan. 13.-The coal miners
throughout the United States are pre-
pairing to reopen the question Of wages
after Jan. 20. A demand for increased
pay is expected II may cause a
marked increase in the present prices
OF coal.
The miners declare that they need
higher wages because OF the increased
cost OF living. This stand Is part OF the
general movement OF organized labor
begun by the switchmen and railroad
brotherhoods. The movement has al
ready spread TO practically all the
branches OF railroad labor.
at is true that the mine workers
will take up the question OF wages,
said John Fitzpatrick. president OF the
Chicago Federation OF Labor. II DO
not see the necessity Of higher priced
coal. though. even II the miners get
increases.
when coal which costs $3.50 a ton
in the United States can be bought for
1920 a ton in Canada there is some
thing more than the question Of wages
boosting the price"
The coal men take n different view
Of the situation. They cannot figure
how the price of coal can remain at
the former price n the miners receive
