Household Coal DOC Il Ton Increase

The miners have made a demand for a increase in wages to the
extent of twenty coy per cent. The present cost for labor alone of
anthracite is approximately 81. 80 a ton. An advance of twenty ()
per cent. in wages would mean a increase of thirty six 1867 cents
in the cost Of every ton Of anthracite produced.
