Anthracite Miners and
 Operators Want Increase
 to Absorb Higher Wages

Washington, November 17.-Wage in- creases ranging from 5 to A per cent for Pennsylvania anthracite miners were agreed to by the operators here today on condition that the advances are absorbed in higher coal prices.
 AS soon as they had signed their tenta- tive new contract the miners and opera tors called on Fuel Administrator Gar field and asked that anthracite prices be raised to meet the increase. Dr. Garfield took the request under advisement and announced that he would make a careful investigation before rendering a decision. It 1t estimated that the wage increases would add about 45 cents ton to an- thracite prices, and give the miners about $40,oo0,C00 additional pay annually.
 Fuel administration officials would not say tonight how Dr. Garfield views the demand for higher anthracite prices. When bituminous producers and miners fixed new wage scale recently he in- creased bituminous prices to absorb the raise but bituninous prices had just been cut sharply in the governments fix ing of coal prices Anthracite prices remained at about the same level under the price fixing
 The new contract, If approved by Dr. Garheld. will supersede a supplemental contract increasing wages made last April, which supplemented g four-yeai contract signed in May, 19l6 and will run until March S1, 1920, if the war has not ended by that date
