TO Be DEMANDED
BY COAL MINERS
Operators and Union Officials
Open Conference,

| INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 6-Indica-
tons shortly before the convention here
today OF the join, conference Of bi,um-
nous coal mine owners and the off
Gals of the United Mine Workers of
America, called by the miners officers
Tor the announced purpose Of demand
ing an increase in mining wages, were
that the conference would adjourn with
out action TO meet again in Washington
within few days
Arguments to BE Prescnted
In the call for the conference issued
by the miners union, the coal operators
JSf the central competitive field, which
Includes Illinois. Ohio, western Penn
sylvania and Indiana, were asked to
meet the officials OF the international
union and the officials Of the four dis
tricts involved when the miners would
present their arguments for "a substan-
tial increase in the mining scale"
II was stated unofficiajly that the
miners would ask for an increase of 20
cents ton for pick and machine min
ing and an increase Of from 40 to 50
cents a day for all day labor at the
mines
Miner Needs Incentive.
Alter calling attention TO the fact that
the conference here is TO be informal a
statement issued by President John p.
White OF the United Mine Workers of
America, continues:
With the pinch of winter near at
hand. there must be some incentive Of
Tered the miner to hold his service at
the mines
Shortage OF coal cars making full
time operation impossible, offers of
higher wages in other industries will
soon reduce the men employed in and
around the mines to such number
that an adequate coal supply cannot be
secured at any price.
Higher Wages Imperative.
There must be and will be a sub
stantial increase in wages to meet
these conditions and also to enable
the miners to meet the ever soaring
cost OF living.
Immediately following an agree
ment III the central competitive field
Ike increases will follow in the an
thracite and all outlying btuminors
districts"
The wages paid coal miners through
out the couptry has been based ON A
scale negotiated between the miner,
and operators OF the central competi
i've scale tor a number OF years.

measures pf economy or desire, but
through irritation and discomfort.
A Hint OF Watteau.
To offset the straight and narrow
path that the majority OF the new suits
and frocks take. is gown which Is
being exploited on both sides of the
Atlantic and which has more than a
hint of Vatican, OF the operas of Mo-
zart, Of painted fans and Dresden
figures
In dinner gown which has Just
been projected into the fashionable
world. one gets suggestion OF the
costumes made for Figaro, in the loop
ing OF soft material that covers the
end OF the spine and the slope Of the
hips
There is another frock of more sober
demeanor and intended for more active
service, which has suggestion OF a
broad box, starting between the Shoul-
der blades and dropping forward over
the hips in ripping drapery
There are an extraordinary lumber
OF new autumn gowns made IN pale
pink, blue, sea green and helotrope,
Some OF them are OF chiffon, mingled
in clever way and giving, in color
effect, an instant remembrance Of a
Dresden figure
There are blue satin coats to be worn
over pink chiffon skirts, and there are
heliotropc blouses that melt into pale
blue skirts after they have passed un-
der a swa,hing sash of pink. blue and
heliotrope
Combined With Narrow Skirt.
The slim skirt is definitely settled
into the first fashions through this
Vatican or Mozartian drapery as well
as by other fashions that have been
adopted to exploit it. When one is
punched at the hips and at the end
OF the spin, even though it be done in
a slight manner, there must be a tight,
short skirt beneath to accentuate the
contrast in line.
There are some skirts, mind you. that
are not cut on so straight line that
it is difficult to walk in them, but
