ANTHRACITE COAL MINERS
WILL ASK MORE WAGES

retailers were absorbed by the con-
sumer's demands. Stringency OF the
money market is given as reason
why the retailers permitted stock to
become exhausted. While this con-
stant drain was taking place, the pro-
ducing companies were harb oring tre-
mendous surpluses and paying enor-
nous dividends. Had some small part
of these surpluses been used to ex-
tend coal trade. the 100000 anthracite
miners would not have been, forced
to suffer the lean period that brought
many thousands of them TO face seri-
Gus want.
IF the operators are, as reported.
unable to supply the demand and the
public forced to pay a premium on
anthracite, the responsibility must be
fastened upon the operators. Even
now when the news is being heralded
broadcast that a labor shortage Is
affecting production, hundreds OF
miners are idle The insufficient
number of cars is an important fac
tor in promoting the sO-called short
age, the public is informed.
How did this happen? The up
keep of freight cars during the past
few years by anthracite roads was
suspended under a strict economy
| program inaugurated.
"The surpluses held by the same
roads is proof positive that this was
| unnecessary.
THE contract between anthracite
miners and operators expires April I.
1916. me miners are to ask a sub
stantial increase. In eleven years,
food products have increased 36 per
cent. while their wages have only In
creased 54a percent.
True to form in advance OF nego-
tiations, the public is again Informed
that the shortage Of labor ana the
outrageous demands OF the miners
necessitates greater tolls from the
public purse. But 1t will not be TerV
difficult for the careful investigator
10 fix responsibility for increased
prices"
