Satisfactory Wage Con-
tract by Operators
and Miners in South
west

Washington. Nov. 19.-Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield was notified today 90
the final acceptance of a satisfactory
wage contract penalty clause by both
operators and miners in the Kansas
Arkansas and Missouri coal fields.
Acceptance of the penalty clause in
the southwest extends it's provisions tc
virtually all the country's bituminous
coal fields.
Through the efforts of the Fuel
Administration said DR.. Garfield. "alt
danger of any considerable halt in the
production of bituminous coal through
labor difficulties has been eliminated
The fuel administration is satisfied
that the patriotic cooperation of botb
mine workers and operators so thor
Oughly exemplifed in the general ac
ceptanCe of the penalty clause agree
ment can be depended on to increase
the bituminous coal production all
along the line
The penalty clause is designed to
prevent by system Of fines the shut
ting down Of mines either by strikes or
lockouts
DR.. Garfield is considering the re-
quest Of anthracite miners for higher
anthracite prices to absorb a proposed
wage increase.
The fuel administration Is working
with the priortties committee and the
Interstate Commerce Commission on a
plan for obtaining more effective use,
of coal cars.
Coal operators have suggested a fur
tber pooling of railway equipment, and
priority for coal shipments over. all
other commodities except food and
government materials.

mittee reported favorably a resolu-
tion endorsing the patriotic work Of

which Mr.. Gompers took an active part

pies Council a pacifist organization.
The supporter of the resolution did
not mince words in condemning the at

We cannot afford to place ourselves in
