DEPENDS ON GOVERNMENT.
Twenty-Five Per Cent. Increase For
Miners Still Under Discussion.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Discussion
of the twenty-five per cent. wage in
crease demands Of coal miners in the
central competitive field, without ap-
preaching a settlement basis today,
developed into agitation for stimula-
ton Of production through more con-
tinuous work by miners and priority
shipment right for coal.
Operators told the miners that re-
CARELESS of any pay increase it was
imperative that the miners practice Of
quitting work one or two days q week
be discontinued during the war emer-
gency. The miners replied that unless
higher pay were granted unrest among
miners would prevent maintenance Of
good union discipline and promote the
movement of workmen to other indus
tries.
Both sides agreed that the pay ques-
ton is entirely dependent on whether
the government raises the present
price fixed for coal at the mines, and
some intimation of the governments
intention in this respect was expected
soon from DR.. H. A. Garfield, the fuel
administrator.

LOSING STRENGTH
Recount in New York Primary
Fight Shows Bennett Gaining

New York, Sept. 27.-Mayor
Mitchers lead in the primary vote
against this antagonist, William M.
Bennett, was reduced below the loo
mark at midnight, when the examna-
ton of the ballots now under way at
1875 Worth street, under the Supreme
Court order, showed that he had lost
enough votes to bring his apparent
total over Mr.. Bennett down to 54
votes. Unexpected large reductions
of the mayors total were shown IN
the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Six
teenth Assembly Districts. In the
Fourteenth District he lost Sc votes
to Mr.. Bennett, SO in the Fifteenth
Assembly District, and FL in the Six
teenth Assembly District
The inspection of the ballots, which
began at 1 o'clock on Tuesday after
noon, proceeded throughout Tuesday
night and all yesterday, under the ar
rangement made by both the Mitchell
and Bennett forces Yesterdays prog
ress was so slow that it was decided
that beginning early today three sets
of tally clerks would inspect the bal
lots at the same time. Under this
arrangement it Is expected that the
Manhattan ballots will be completed
late today. The Bronx ballot boxes
will be inspected next.
Although the mayors majority over
Mr. Bennett of 335 votes, which was
established by the official returns of
the board Of elections, was apparently
reduced throughout yesterday and
last night to dangerously close
figure, it was pointed out by Mr..
MitcheTs counsel that the changes
being made as result of the present
inspection proceedings would in no
wise effect the board of elections
figures until these changes had been
passed upon by the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Mitchell began the present pro-
ceedings with the view Of disproving
Mr.. Benefits charge that fraud had
been committed in the primaries. Ac-
cording to the Mitchell legal forces
no evidence of fraud has yet been dis
closed.
