INCREASED WAGES GIVEN
In CENTRAL COAL FIELD
Miners Win Fight for General Raise
Consumer Will Foot Bill in In
creased Coal Costs

Washington, Oct. 6-Bituminous coal
miners of the central competitive field
won their fight for general wage in
crease last night, when joint COM
mittee here reached a. compromise
agreement on a new contract. The
agreement presages a wage raise
throughout the industry, since the
central field scale serves as a basis for
all other districts, and a consequent
advance in the governments fixed
price for coal.
Operators representatives agreed to
the new wages on condition that they
be absorbed in higher coal prices. The
fuel administration will be asked for
a revision upward of present coal
prices to meet the raise. The wage
increase, according to the operators
estimates, will add from 30 to 80 cents
a ton to the cost of producing coal in
thick vein mines and considerably
more in mines containing the thinner
veins.
The new contract will contain pro-
visions to prevent strikes and lock-
out, and it will be so drawn as to make
it impossible for either operators or
miners to break it on the grounds of
changed conditions.

Submarines Not Beaten.

Washington, Oct. Navy officials
have deprecated publication of re-
ports that go too far in either direc-
ton as to the progress of the cam
paign against German submarines.
There is no reasonable ground, they
say, for feeling that the submarines
have been definitely beaten, because
the announced losses have decreased
recently, while on the other hand there
is nothing in the present situation
that warrants serious apprehension on
the part of the allies.
The policy of conveying merchant
craft now has been adopted by all
powers Originally naval opinion was
against this practice. Its effect, it
was believed, would be merely to in
crease the size of the targets and
under that theory merchant craft
were sent zig-zagging separately over
unusual courses, scattering them as
much as possible and giving the
U-boats the task of finding them.
Under the convoy plan the U-boat
commander is certain of a fight If he
comes to the surface and so dares not
pursue a conveyed flotilla, except
when submerged. Then his speed is
too low to allow him to conduct a sue
cessful pursuit.

SENATE COMMITTEE WILL

Washington, Oct 6.-Four hours

loyalty, charges against Senator LaFol-
lette will furnish dramatic finale

after a senate committee had been d.
rected to investigate the Wisconsin

In executive session, late yesterday,
the senate adopted without debate a

and to substantiation of Senator La
Follette's statements of facts therein.

SAN FRANCISCO IRoNWoRKERS
RETURN; START SHIPBUlLDING

San Francisco, Oct. 2.-It was esti-
mated that 80 per cent of the 10000
ironworkers who went on strike two
weeks ago to enforce demands for a
80 per cent increase in wages, returned
to work yesterday in the shipbuilding
plants and foundries in San Francisco
and the bay district.
The resumption on government ship
building, motor and airplane contracts
totalling S150,000,000 was effected
through a temporary agreement that
was reached by a conference of en-
ployers and employees with Gavin Nc
Nab, San Francisco attorney, as spe-
cial representative of President Will
son, acting as mediator.
In accepting the temporary wage
agreement the Iron Trades council re-
served the right to consider another
strike
