Hard Coal Men
Will Raise Wages
If Price Goes Up
Operators Submit This Plan
to Garfield for
Ratification

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Wage In
creases ranging from Is to A per cent
for Pennsylvania anthracite miners
we're agreed to by the operators here
to-day, on condition that the advances
are absorbed in higher coal prices.
As soon as they had signed their
tentative new contracts the miners and
operators called on Fuel Administrator
Garfield and asked that anthracite
prices be raised to meet the increase.
DR.. Garfield took the request under ad-
visement, and announced that he would
make q careful investigation before
rendering a decision, it is estimated
that the wage increases would add
about as cents a ton to anthracite
prices and give the miners about $4O,-
100000 additional pay annually.
Fuel administration officials would not
say tonight how DR.. Garfield viewed
the demand for higher anthracite prices.
When bituminous producers and min
ers fixed new wage scale recently
he increased bituminous prices TO ABB
sorb the raise, but bituminous prices
had Just been cut sharply in the gov
ernment's fixing of coal prices. An
thracite prices remained at about the
same level under the price fixing.
The new contract, if approved by DR..
Garfield, will run until March 81, 1920,
if the war has not ended by that date.
The advances range from so cents TO
s1.10 a day over the scale established
May 3, 1915, for salaried men, and pro-
vide a 20 per cent increase for contract
miners and their laborers.

ceiyed tate to-day.
Although DR.. Garfield did not say
the so-called Washington agreement"
and the clause offered by the operators
yesterday were identical, that wns the
Interpretation placed upon his message
by the miners. IL was said
The convention, by a vote Of ls5 20

The award gives the workmen much

IL includes wage increases as high as
$50 a month, one day of week with
full pay, time and half for overtime

Some of the union men yesterday
were frankly displeased with the gard
but none went so far as TO say the
affiliated workers would not accept the

tional War Work Council. at its head

national calamity for the fund to
fail" In a statement given out, fol-
lowing the meeting. he said:
Notwithstanding the fact that in
literally every part of the United States
the men and women Of the country
have, during the last few days, made
generous and even sacrihcial gifts
toward the s35,0O0,000 fund, there are
still very large numbers who have not
had opportunity to make pledges or
gifts. In almost any of our communi-
ties it is not surprising that the or
ganization of the campaign has not
been sufficiently comprehensive to
make it possible to bring the appeal to
each person.

been approached personally by one of

Gus National Army camps indicate
large but not alarming percentage Of
tubercular cases. The largest number

Saltpetre Factory in Erie
Basin Destroyed; Loss
Is 100000
Nearby Tenants Flee
This Is the Second Water
front Fire Here in
a Week

Fire, which is believed TO have been
Of incendiary origin, destroyed the
Bradley Saltpetre Works, plant which
has been working on several contracts
for the United States government at
% Van Dyke Street, in the Erie Basin
section of Brooklyn, last night.
The loss was in the neighborhood OF
100000. More than 100000 pounds OF
,n,,retre. which is used extensively IN
the manufacture Of explosives, was con-
sumed.
This Is the second suspicious water
front FIRE in plant doing work for the
government to occur in New YORK with
in a week. Last Sunday the Washburn
Wire Works, at Eas. River and llSth
Street, Manhattan. was destroyed. Ihls
blaze. too. has been believed to be the
work of enemy agents.
Blaze Started in Office
The blaze in the Bradley plant was
discovered shortly before midnight.
Apparently it started in the offices OF
the factory, which is a long two story
brick structure.
By the time the first engines arrived
the fire had eaten tnrougnt the ONCE
walls and was consuming the materials
stored in the factory and basement. A
second alarm was sent in almost I'M
mediately. The fire was so fierce, how
ever, that the fighters made little head
wav' and when a series Of explosions
began in the building a third alarm
was turned in.
The flames ran through the building
with almost unbelievable rapidity. Fed
by the inflammable substances il con-
tanned, they poured forth from the
windows and leaped high into the air,
threatening adjoining buildings.
Tenants Driven From Homes
There are many tenements on Van
DYKE Street, and at the rear of the
plant on Coffee Street there are many
more. For time il was feared that
these would go, and the police reserves
routed all the tenants from their homes
and shepherdcd them away from the
danger zone.
The explosions in the burning build
ing were apparently caused by chem
ieals kept there. At each blast the
windows would shoot fame, as though
a mighty bellows were blowing the fire
forth. Firemen had great difficulty in
getting close enough to the fire TO fight
It effectively. Several of them were
overcome by heat and smoke, but were
not seriously injured.

Whole Matter
Is Discussed

The answer was "all that sort OF
thing. including buying 100000 freight
cars by the government, has been dis
cuseed and is being discussed"
That question brings up the real
issue. The future is beyond the con-
troll of the railroads. Isn't it a proper
and immediate concern OF the govern
ment7 Success in the war depends al
most as much on internal Transports
ton as il dies on transoceanic trans
portation. Ought not some government
agency be seeing to 1T that the rall-
roads are provided with capital, that
additional facilities are financed for
the building Of rolling stock and rails,
that terminals were enlarged and mod
ernized?
Verdun was saved by motor trucks.
A little while ago Germany is said to
have moved 100000 men from one front
to another with motor trucks. SO FAR
as motor trucks, inland water trans
portation and other means subsidiary
to railroad transportation are con-
cerned. committees of railroad opera
ton are Encouraging" them. 1t is
very much as if the government facing
the shipping situation had merely ZEN
couraged" or invited" shipbuilders to
build more ships.
What is needed is a government pol
icy broad enough to develop all kinds
of transportation, and TO insure that
the war will not reduce this country's
railroads like those of the warning
nations abroad to streaks OF rust, with
rolling stock that is tumbling 10
pieces. If that brings government
control, why 1t does. That is all.
There is too much thinking here
about the method, and not enough
about the end to be achieved. Fear
of government control paralyzes the
mental processes of the railroad men
And the mere words, government con-
troll, hypnotic the radicals, who want
to see the war bring it about. When
you look at the relations between the

actually are, government control be.
comes really minor issue. The real
issue is that the whole transportation
situation should be faced frankly.
That is not being done.

Cropsey Faction
Objects to Kracke
For Service Board
Threatens Trouble for
Whitman Next Fall if He
Appoints Commissioner

A new political storm in Brooklyn
was forecast yesterday, when some oil
the Republican leaders in that borough
who opposed Mayor Mitchell in the re-
cent city campaign threatened to make
trouble for Governor Whitman II he
carried out his intention of appointing
Commissioner F. J. II. kracke OF the
city Department of Plant and Struct-
ure to one of the vacant $4,000 Public
Service commissionerships.
The trouble talk came from the fac
ton in the Kings County Republican
organization which promoted the Crop
cv boom prior to the Republican pri'
maries in September. Some OF these
leaders advocated party regularity
after William NJ. Bennett won the Re
publican nomination over Mayor
Mitchell. and were highly incensed, OF
appeared to be, when Governor Whit
man. Commissioner Kracke, Senator
William VI. Calder and State Contro lei
Eugene VI. Travis supported Fusion and
Mayor Mitchell. The displeased leaders
now that Fusicn has been badly beaten
are not going TO stand by ana see tht
Kracke-Calder faction get any plums, Il
is understood.

Confers With Livingston

Confers With Livingston
Governor Whitman was not inclined
to comment upon the Brooklyn situa-
ton. or take it seriously, but he was
sufficiently interested in the threat
ened storm yesterday to hold long
conference with Jacob A. Livingston
executive chairman Of the Kings
County Republican organization, al
the Hotel St. Regis.
Mr.. Livingston was the origlna!
Cropsey boomer before the primaries
but afterward compromised with the
Brooklyn experimentation leaders
when Justice Cropsey withdrew from
the primary contest.
After his talk with Mr.. Livingston.
the Governor expressed himself as con-
fdent that any threatened factional
differences in the Kings County or
garization would be Strengthened out.
Tie still intends TO appoint Commits
sioner Kracke.
The possibility OF Justice Cropsey
entering the Republican primaries next
fall against Governor Whitman for the
pubernatorial nomination has ALREADY
been a source OF some worry 10 the
Whitman supporters. IL IS foregone
conclusion that the Governor and the
Brooklyn leaders who are favorable
TO his denomination will work to head
off any further trouble from the Crop
Sey camp.
The Governors friends declare that
his organization strength upstate IS OF
such proportions as to make any little
row" in Brooklyn look ms significant
Nevertheless. the Governor is strong
for peace below the Harlem.
Mitchell Endorsement Qualified
That the Governor did not support
the cause Of Mayor Mitchell with any
great enthusiasm is no political Sc
cret. He Endorsed Fusion and has said
that he believed party lines should
practically be eliminated in New York
CITY elections. but he qualified his
support of Mayor Mitchell by declaring
that the patriotic issue was not
vital one in the municipal campaign.
That attitude is likely to make 1t
easier sailing for him with the Brook
lyn regulars" in the next state CAM
raign.
The woman's vote will be a big fac
tor in the Governors future political
ambitions. No one will deny that he
has been n strong supporter OF woman's
suffrage for a long time. The Gov
ernor, however, feared that the impress
sion might prevail that he had jumped
on the suffrage band wagon after the
election on November 6. The report
spread that he was showing renewed
activities in the woman's cause since
the election, and he was quick to deny
it and point out that his work in that
direction had always been consistent.
Governor Whitman intends to re-
main in the city until after the open
ing of the annual convention of the
New York State Womans Suffrage
party at the Metropolitan Opera House
Tuesday night, at which he will speak.
He probably will hold conferences with
Brooklyn leaders in the meantime.
