MINE WORKERS
TO CALL FOR TEN
CENT TON RAISE

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. Alt was
learned here tonight from usually we'll
informed leaders in the United Mine
Workers of America, which is in annual
convention here, that the convention is
expected to adopt scale for the btumi-
nous coal fields which will call for at
least 1Otcents ton increase in wages
There is also a likelihood, according to
some of the leaders, that a.two-year
agreement will be demanded. The anthra-
cite miners are also asking for two
year contract, so that both agreements,
if made for that term, will expire at the
same time While the scale committee
has not yet met. 1t is understood from
members of that body that anthracite
demands will be approved without mucn
discussion. The hard coal workers are
asking 20 per cent. increase.
The convention occupied the entire day
in considering reports.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks

New York. Jan. 21.-Stocks made ir-
regular recovery today from their
weakness Of the previous session, but
the move was cautious and tentative
at best. Dealings were moderate. with
frequent lapses into extreme dullness,
but prices were well maintained until
the final hour, when leading shares for
feited considerable part of the gains.
Much Of todays buying originated with
the short interest which probably felt
impelled to cover because Of the firm
ness of investment shares.
Interest continued to center around
United States Steel because of the ap-
proach Of the quarterly meeting. SteePs
course indicated doubt of any dividend
action. but conservative opinion leans
towards a partial restoration of dis
bursements on the common shares.

levels. Manipulative tactics were
again resorted to in several Of the
