Promise Miners
Raise If u. S.
Boosts Coal

WASHINGTON, oct. 3. - Coal
operators and miners Of the cen
trail competitive field. meeting here
TO discuss a readjustment Of wage
scales. reached a full agreement
Tuesday night as 20 the amount
Of increases 20 be given. They
viii discuss further the length Of
time the new contract will run.
Pick and machine miners. who
demanded Is cents a ton increase
in pay viii get ten cents. and un-
skilled labor which sought a wage
raise Of $l.9O a day, Will get $3.50.
Yardage and dead work viii be
paid for on a basis of a straight
20 percent increase.
The wage increases we're granted
by the operators contingent on
their absorption in higher coal
prices. which they expect the fuel
administration 10 give them on
presentation next week of thehr
cost of production figures.
Want TWO Year Contract
The miners are seeking a con-
tract for two years. but the oper-
ators insist on a provision for it's
termination 60 days after the end
of the war. Miners representa-
tives said TUESDAY night they would
not yield on this point Provi-
sions Will be inserted in the con-
tract 10 prevent either side from
breaking il for any cause This
was demanded by the operators
because the miners in asking the
present increases are ignoring a
contract signed last April.
At the beginning OF the con-
ference a week ago. the miners de-
manded 10 cents a ton increase in
pick and machine mining: a 20
! percent increase in pay for yard
age and dead work and a flat in
| crease of $50 day for day
labor. The operators refused TO
meet the demands and offered
| Tuesday five cents TO-. pick and
machine mining; a 20 percent and
lower increase for yardage and a
81 raise for day labor The final
| scale adopted came as a counter
/ proposal from the miners.
/ Coal mine wage scales through
/ out the country are based OH the
| central field scale, and if Tues
| days agreement is ratified, wages
will be raised accordingly in other
districts.
Operators Of the central field are
asking the fuel administration for
increases of about so cents a ton
in the price fixed for coal at the
mines in a recent order by Pres't
Wilson. Many mines the insist,
will be forced to shut down unless
| prices are revised. Already DR..
Garfield, the fuel administrator,
has granted increases in outlying
districts where for the most part
coal veins are thin, making the
cost Of operation high.

comparatively harmless saloonkeepers on
the outskirts, while the proprietors Of
Detroit's swell places down town. the
most of whom are notorious for utter
disregard Of the law, have escaped.
This year the pull of the swell" cafe
owners and the pun of their formerly IN
fuental friends isn't in evidence
Police Commissioner Couzens has turn
ed over to the liquor committee the
names Of the propretors of IL Of the big
downtown cafes and tells the committee
that these men are conducting JNDE-
SIRABLE places
He makes mo recommendation. but by
submitting the names he suggests what
he would 90 with them If 10 were i'm HIS
power to do it.
Two or three of the cafe owners alege
that. the commissioner recommended
tions against them are not backed up
by the police records. bat the commits
sioner may be going on the theory that
it is better for a few who are innocent
to get q little publicity than for one who
is guilty to escape.
We learn from Commissioner Couzens'
report that some of the swell places
in this town. as they are known. and to
which many men have felt free TO take
their wives or sisters, are maintained by
the patronage Of disreput&ole men and
women. and that they are not proper
places for the wives and sisters Of men.
We know this about these places now
because Police Commissioner Couzens
has nothing to fear from them and be-
cause he has nothing TO ask of them,
politically or otherwise.
We have been kept in the dark about
these places because conditions in past
years in the police commissionership
have not been what they are at this
time.
Our swell cafes have been protected
and shielded from the public in the past
because they are conducted by men who
have political influence, which fact has
been well understood by police commits
sioners with their masters to serve.
It is bit refreshing.

Battling For Coal
In Northern France

The meaning Of the terrific struggle
between the. British and the Germans
around the city of Lens is something
more than a mere British attempt 20
push Hindenburgs famous Zine" still
further back
1t is something more than an effort TO
force the enemy off French soil.
If Gen. Haig's brave Brtons and Ca
nadians succeed in capturing Lens, they
will have achieved a victory far more i'm
portant than the sinking Of 100 German
submarines.
What France and Italy greatly need,
in addition to food munitions and cloth
ing. is coal.
England has been trying 70 supply the
coal her allies so urgently require and
Germany with her submarines has en-
dangered and cut short the supply.
Lens is the key TO this situation.
Il is in the heart Of the greatest coal
mining region Of France
For many months it has been in the
hands of the Germans
If they now lose il only short time
will elapse until French miners once
more work the precious coal lodes.
And to that extent, the submarine
campaign Of frightfulness will have
been defeated.

This comes pretty close 20 stating

chronic grumblers
when YOU grumble that your work

meath your ability" don't fool your
self into thinking that these are the
real reasons for your grumbling
The fact is that YOU have not ap-
piled yourself 10 il properly. or that
1t is work for which YOU are not
naturally adapted In either case a.
Is work you are doing poorly and
your srumbling Is self-oetrayal OF
your iuchiciency
