Increased Wages and Bonus
Refused to Coal Miners

Washington, Aug. 23.-Fuei ad-
ministrator Garfield will not approve
a wage increase for coal miners, ii
was strongly intimated today after
he had conferred with officials of
the United Mine Workers of America.
He will, however, put stop to the
practice of operators paying bonuses
to the miners. through which system
they competed among themselves for
mine labor.
DR.. Garfield recalled to the mine
workers that they had signed the So
called Washington wage agreement,
under which they agreed that wages
should not be increased during the
war, and is said to have told them
they could not justify any demand for
increased wages on the grcun1 that
the operators were laying bonuses.
The first action Of the admlristra
ton toward stopping bonuses was to
rder a reduction of 20 cents ton
in the price of coal i'll the Campn1ge
and Hooking fields of Ono and Of 5
cents ton in all other fields OF
that state except those in the Eighth
district
The Ohio field officials OF the ad-
ministration safd, was the heart OF the
bonus practice which has led to dis
satisfaction among the miners.
