NO COAL STRIKE
OVER WAGE TILT,
GARFIELD IS TOLD

Speedy adjustment of the soft coal
today when Rembrandt Peale, opera
tors adviser to Fuel Administrator
Garfield, said there will be no coal
strike" A compromise wage increase
which will be passed on TO the cen
sumner by Garfield increasing the
operators prices at the mines is ex-
pected to be the outcome Of "the
Joint conference now in session here.
The first definite move to gain DR..
Garfield's consent for a wage increase
was made today when Vice President
Frank Hayes and Statistician John
Lewis, of the United Mine Workers,
called on the fuel administrator. They
offered figures showing a shortage Of
$1,000 miners and mine labOrers in
western Pennsylvania, Il, 900 in Ohio,
10000 in Illinois, and 5000 in Indiana.
Wages are not large enough to at
tract the return of miners who went
over to the munition factories, Hayes
declared. The draft is increasing the
labor shortage.
The miners asked Garfield for a
wage increase for the duration OF the
war, or for two years, ending April
1, 1920. to stabilize coal prices and
hold the miners from joining better
paid industries.
With return OF the Norfolk navy
yard strikers today, and a temporary
agreement reached in the San Fran
cisco shipbuilders' strike, the national
labor situation took on a greatly i'm
proved outlook.
In an effort to smooth out existing
labor troubles to avoid a general
strike in navy yards presidents of the
international unions involved in yard
work will confer with Navy Depart
ment heads on October ..

English Commission Wants Survey of all
 Nations Resources

London, May 1S.-The report of the Dominion Royal Commission em- phasizes a properly co-ordinated min eral survey of the Empire and consid- CTS 1t of pressing importance to as- certain whether workable deposits exist of such minerals as quicksilver, platinum, borax and potash, at pres ent derived almost solely from for eign sources. The commission en- dorses mining experts views that fur their investigation is needed to deter min the most economical means C: production and says:
 "1t is unnecessary for us to empha- size the waste of resources which has occurred and still is occurring in many countries through uneconomic- al methods of extraction. To take only one examp1e-it has been esti- mated that at the Rio TintoA mines in Spain in the period of some thirty years about 100000 tons of sulphur valued at not less than f14, 100000 were wasted through unskilful treat ment of the ore while, through mod ern improvements in the methods O handling ore, about 100000 tons o sulphur are now annually saved"

 The House concurrfng with the Senate in the adoption of the bill creating the Manafield State Hospital. the governor immediately affixed his signature to 1t and appointed the sev- en required trustees in time to have them Sconfirnleds by kfhs Senate One of them was Judge L P. Waldo Mar vfn of Hartford Slight mendments were made to the club license bill for the benefit of clubs like the Hart ford club Both hol1ses agreed, after some parleying. upon the pazsage of a bill giving all municipalities authority to make bylaws or ordinances prohi- biting the sale of firearms in this state on the Fourth of Jufy-f
