that opinion had been influenced by
German money. Representative Pou de-

Avoid Charge Of Conspiracy

Operators told the miners that, regard-
less of any pay increase. it was i'm
perative that the miners practice of
quitting work one or two days a week
be discontinued during the war emer-
gency. The miners replied that unless
higher pay was granted unrest among
miners would prevent maintenance of
good, uniform discipline and promote
the movement of workmen to other in
dustries.
Both sides agreed that the pay ques-
ticn is entirely dependent on whether
the government raises the present price
fixed for coal at the mines, and some
intimation of the governments inten-
ton in this respect was expected soon
from DR.. H. A. Garfield, the fuel admin
istrator.
The operators refused to consider a
proposal Of the miners that both sides
take their disputes to the fuel admins
tratfon for settlement on the ground
that this would be an open bid for
higher government prices and would
resemble a conspiracy. The operators
attitude was described as one of wait
ing for the fuel administration to re-
wise the prices voluntarily, and of con-
fidence that this would be done as
soon as facts and figures on production
costs are available for all parts of the
country.
The meeting was adjourned shortly
before l O'Clock and resumed at 2
