WAGES OF MINERS
ARE INCREASED:
CONSUMERS PAY
President Authorizes Raise
of IS Gents q Ton at
the Mines.

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA general
increase of IS cents ton was added
to the price of anthracite coal at the
mines last Saturday by President Will
son, to meet proposed wage in
crease for anthracite miners. The
new prices became effective Dec. I,
and will add more than $30,O0O,O0O
to the public's annual coal bill
The wage increase was agreed on
by operators and miners representa-
tives here two weeks ago, contingent
on higher coal prices to absorb the
raise. When their negotiations were
ended the operators and miners asked
that prices be raised at least As cents
a ton.
Fuel Administrator Garfield said he
gave the problem the most careful
consideration, hesitating to decide
whether it would be worse to add to
the burden of those who buy coal or
permit workmen to leave the mines
for higher pay elsewhere, thus re-
ducing the coal output. It was EVIL
dent, he said, that the producers
were ready to fight the wage increases
if forced to pay the entire amount
themselves.
The increase in prices will not ap-
ply to coal sold at the mines under
any existing contract containing a
provision for an increase in the price
of coal in the event the miners wages
are raised.

THE.:LYCEUM.

The bachelor, whose penchant is
musical comedy, the matinee miss
with fondness for good looking
leading men and the staid married
folks who patronize only the outstand-
ing "hits' Of each season, will each
have their inning during the engage
ment Of Turn to the Right" at the
Lyceum theater this week.
This play of laughs and tears which
Winchell Smith and John L. Golden
are sending on tour after concurrent
runs Of thirteen months in New York
and nine months in Chicago, appeals
to all classes to degree that has sell
dom been attained in the history Of
the theater. It can be compared only
with 1.-THE Old Homestead" and "Way
Down East" for straight -the-heart
wholesomeness; with 1.-THE Boomer
ang'', and 1.-THE Fortune Hunter" for
clean, refreshing comedy or with
"Ben-Hur" for an uplifting touch Of
the religious.
For the tired business man thel is
the "fly'' comedy of the two nimble-
witted crooks, Mugs and Gilly, just
released from Sing Sing; for the matt
nee girl there Is young and handsome
Joe Bascom who returns to his moth
er's farm after seven years u wander
ing to claim the sweetheart of his
boyhood and for those of more seri-
Gus bent the Christian influence of a
good mother in restoring Joe Bascom
and his pals. to the path of rectitude
and honesty will hold mellowing
appeal. T. Is"
The stage has never known cleaner
play than Turn to the Right" In its
prologue and three acts there is never
a line or situation to bring uneasiness
to the man who has brought his wife,
sister or young daughter. Throughout
it's action it breathes an atmosphere
of youth and happiness, blended with
good old-fashioned honesty.
A matinee will be given Saturday.

some Of Our state officials: tho serious
conditions existing today. But, we
have done everything possible to avert
trouble and when this telegram waa
received from Secretary Baker we
were concentrating ourselves because
we thought it would not be necessary
to Call this meeting. We have lost all
hope in the Safety commission, we
have proved that they are broken. We
had hoped there were men big enough
at the capitol to help us avoid trouble.
We need big men in the state house.
There hasn't been a member Of the
commission, and 7 have spoken to

has denied the charges made.
