MAY END COAL STRIKE
President White of the United Mine
Workers to Ask 5 per cent.
Increase.

Cleveland, O.-John r. White, pres
ident of the United Mine Workers OF
America, and the district presidents
are considering a possible solution of
the threatened strike of the bitumin-
Gus miners of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
They purpose placing before the
workers the plan to drop all their de-
mands except that for an increase in
pay and that they ask for five per
cent. instead of ten,
This compromise has not been de-
cided upon definitely, but 1t was con-
sidered one loophole by which there
would be no strike on April 1 or sus-
pension of operations until new wage
agreements can be effected.
The union officials are in doubt
whether such compromise would be
approved at a referendum vote.
Members of the executive board and
policy committee of the United Mine
Workers of America are preparing to
draw up recommendations for ref
eerndum vote by the union.
The union officials say an agreeable
adjustment of the bituminous dispute
would have much influence in secur-
ing for the 175,0OO anthracite miners
a settlement of their differences.

RAIL TARIFFS ARE HIT
COMMERCE COMMISSION RULES
STATE RATES MUST APPLY
ACROSS BORDER.
MINORITY OPPOSES PLAN
Far Reaching Principle is Established
in Case of Louisiana Booty Against
Roads Operating in That State and
Texas.

Washington an opinion made
public here the interstate commerce
commission established the far-reach-
ing principle that railroad must so
adjust it's rates that justice will be
done between communities regardless
of state lines.
If a railroad makes low rate upon
traffic wholly within a state, even
when forced to do so by a state com
mission, it must accord the same rate
to interstate traffic moving under sub
stantially similar conditions. The prin-
ciple was laid down by a vote of 4
to 3.
The minority held that the powers
of congress were usurped by the ma
jority opinion and that the remedy for
such situation should be applied
through additional legislation in. the
case of the railroad commission of
Louisiana against the St. Louis
riers operating between Louisiana and
Texas.
The opinion of the majority of the
interstate commission, prepared aIl
handed down by Commissioner Lane
is definite assertion of the SUI
premacy of national regulatory author
ity over the powers exercised by any
state.
1t is the first time this assertion has
been made distinctly by the commits
sion. In making it Chairman PrOuty
and Commissioners Clark and Meyer
concurred with Commissioner Lane,
and Commissioners Clements, Harlan
and McChord dissented.
The proceeding brought by the
Louisiana commission placed in issue
the right of interstate carriers to dis
criminate in favor of state traffic and
against interstate traffic.
The low rate within the state Of
Texas was forced upon the railroads
by the Texas railroad commission in
furtherance of policy to protect and
promote the jobbing interests of Tex
as.
The Louisiana commission and that
states commercial interests declared
that Louisiana was being discriml-
mated against because of the exaction
of the higher rates from Shreveport
westward and demanded an adjust
ment of the rates.
The contention of Louisiana was
sustained by the commission absolute
ly.

New York. Fifty railroads COM
prising practically all the lines
east of Chicago and north of the
Norfolk & Western, refused to grant
an increase in wakes demanded by
their locomotive engineers.

road managers which has had under
consideration the request of the engi-
neers made its reply, which in sub

able to bear the increased expense IN

The engineers demand, presented

year. The railroads refusal is based
on the assertion that they are f1nan-
cially unable to bear the increased ex-
pense.
The reply was presented at joint
meeting of committees representing
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers and IL presidents and general
managers of the railroads.
The railroads point out that the pro-
posed increase will amount to $685.
1872 annually. This increase, they say,
would be equivalent to placing on their
property lien of $18S,844,818 of per
cent. securities. which would have
preference over first mortgage bonds.
"and to just that extent would lessen
the ability of the roads to make the i'm
provements necessary to increase the
efficiency Of their service and to In
sure greater safety to the public and
employees"
Already the traffic of growing
country has overtaxed the existing ia
cilitfes," the reply continues, "and the
heavy burdens incurred through legis-
lation, large expenditures for i'm
provements which produce no revenue.
and the previous wage increases have
made it impossible for many OF the
roads to provide the added facilities
which prudent foresight demands.
Past history indicates that if these
increases are given to the engineers,
they will be followed by similar re-
quests from other employees, which, If
granted, would result in actual bank
ruptcy to some of the roads and would
leave them as whole unprepared to
meet any sudden increase in the de-
mands for transportation"
The railroads point out that the
wage advance to the engineers and
other employees since 1910 was made
in expectation of ga much needed" adj
vance in freight rates, which the in
terstate commerce commission de-
clined to allow. Since that time, they
say, enforced reductions of rates have
been more or less continuous, and 9th
er rate reductions are pending.
The railroads declare that the fix
ing of standard wage for the conduc-
tors and trainmen was the result of a
crisis developed in connection with
their demands and should not be taken
as a precedent.
