VIII WAGE INCREASE
Operators VIII tSk U. S. to
Revise Prices.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Bituminous
coal miners of the central competitive
field won their fight for a general
wage increase when operators and
miners representatives in conference
reached a compromise agreement on
the terms OF new contract,
The agreement presages a wage
raise throughout the industry, and a
consequent advance in the govern
ments fixed price for coal.
Operators representative agreed tn
the new wages on condition that they
be absorbed in higher coal prices.
After the agreement is ratified by the
full conference they will go to the
fuel administration and ask a revision
upward Of present coal prices to meet
the raise. The wage increases, ac-
cording TO operators estimates, will
add from thirtr-five to fifty cents a
ton to the cost of producing coal in
thick vein bfnes and considerable
more in mines containing the thinner
vein.
The new contract will contain pro
visions to prevent strikes and lock-
outs and viii be so drawn as to make
it impossible for either operators or
miners to break it on the grounds of
conditions. 1t will run for
the duration Of the war, provided the
war does not continue more than two
years.
Under the agreement an increase OF
ten cents a ton will be paid for pick
and machine mining as against the
miners first demand for fifteen cents;
lay labor will be advanced $40 a day
instead of the 81 90 asked: the pay
or yardage and dead work will be
increased Is per cent instead Of 90
Der cent demanded. Trappers will
yet seventy-fve cents a day raise and

operation with the government in all
of its plans for the war was pledg-
ed to Secretary Daniels yesterday,
by the 1000 mechanics and other
civilian employees of the Philadelphia
navy yard. A delegation from men
called and presented a memorial
signed by the entire force expressing
a desire by example to stimulate
all others to the fullest performance
of their duty to the country at this
time"
This reassuring message came as
rumors were being discussed Of a
threatened strike In the New York
navy yard. 1t strengthened the
confidence of officials that there will
be no labor troubles to disturb the
navy's great building operations.
There has been no official informa-
tion of impending difficulties and 1t
is believed that the revised pay
schedules to be put into effect prob
ably next month will remove any
dissatisfaction that may prevail. The
joint army and navy wage board,
now receiving reports from all yards
and arsenalss expects to make its
recommendations shortly.

trades employed at the plant.
Secretary Daniels was visibIy af-
fected by the memorial. ct is a very
heartening thing in this crisis" he
said in reply, ito know you feel the
responsibility which rests upon all
good citizens. We have no place but
for accord and national unity. We
must not think of any business ex-
cept the business Of winning the
war. That is the business Of AM
erica.
I'VE are the government; you are
the government, and America can
not win the war unless the people
follow your example at other navy
yards, at arsenals, in the machine
shops; on the farms, everywhere. and
to see in this war that every man
enlists in heart, in mind, in skill.
II all will follow your example this
war will not be a long war and we
soon will celebrate victory"
