BONUS FOR THIS YEAR
TO BE SEVEN PER CENT
For the Anthracite Coal Min.
ers under the Sliding
Scale Agreed TO.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 - The
United States commissioner OF labor
has notified the anthracite mine
workers and the operators that the
sliding scale" established by the
strike commission OF 1909, brought
the men bonus of seven per cent
for their work in Derember. This
bonus applies to all classes of en-
ployees, and 1t will be added to their
January pay.
The commissioners appointed by
President. Roosevelt to settle the
strike of 1909 awarded a ten per
cent increase to the mine workers
as a minimum wage, with the
further profit-sharing provision that
for every rise of five cents above
$3.50 in the average price of the do
nestle sizes of coal at tidewater, in
any month, the workers should re.
ceive an additional one per cent, to
be applied to the pay roll of the fol-
lowing month. The commissioner
of labor computes the average price
at tidewater from certified records
of sales, and then sends out the Of
fetal notice of the bonus.
AS the minimum pay increased by
ten per cent is used as the basis
upon which to calculate this seven
pen cent. the mine workers receive
for December a total increase over.
the 1902 wages OF more than II per
cent.
The total benefits to the mine
workers from the sliding scale since
it went into effect April /, 1903
aside from the ten per cent increase
awarded by the commisslon-hav
amounted to about s29 100000

better Times
Are Said to Be Just Ahead
for the Window Glass
Business.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 15-The
Glassworker thinks better times are,
ahead for the window glass business,
1t says:
Prospects for the coming season
are, perhaps. better than they have
been in a long time. If the general
prosperity, so generally predicted, be-
comes a reality, and there appears to
be more than a passing hope for it.,
the window glass trade will likely get
its share, Already some important
building operations are under consld-
Grafton, and it is true that when these
things become known there are
others willing to follow the lead of
capitalists not afraid to seek this
character of investment.
