NO WAGE INCREASE
FOR COAL MINERS
Fuel Administration Denies Request
of Bituminous Workers.

The request of the bituminous
miners for increased wages was
refused yesterday by the United
States Fuel Administration on the
advice OF the War Labor Policies
Board. following the boards study
of ther demands in the general
survey of essential Industrial wage
conditions to stabilize all war
workers pay.
DR.. Harry A. Garfield. Fuel AL
ministrator. notified Frank ].
Hayes, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, by tele-
gram that the whole question nf
bituminous wages in comparison
with those of other Industries" had
been considered, and that he was
convinced that increase OF wages
in the bituminous fields is pot called
for as part of the plan of stabiliza-
ton and therefore that no increase
ought to be made at the present
time"
The bituminous miners have an
agreement with the Government to
continue operations at the existing
wage scale for period of two
years, or the duration of the war.
The recommendations of the sta
bilization committee of the War
Labor Board Policies Board con-
cerning the request of the anthra-
cite miners has been made and com
municated to DR.. Garfield. but he
has not announced his decision.

Liberal Supply of Food Sent to
Captiyes Weekly

Uncle Sam proposes that the ration
Tor American soldiers held as pris-
oners in Germany shall be as apetiz-
ing and liberal as the limited oppor-
tunites OF delivery will permit. The
war Department yesterday announced
that individual packages, containing
sufficient food to supply one man, are
now being sent the prison camps each
week through the American Red Cross
in Denmark and Switzerland.
This is what goes in the package
for a well prisoner: Corn beef and
salmon with an occasional substitu-
ton of corned beef hash and canned
roast beef. hard dry bread, dry
beans, rice, bake beans and fresh po-
tatoes (where possible), prunes. jams.
apples, peaches. coffee, sugar. evap-
GRATED milk. salt, pepper and pickles.
Potatoes and onions are procured
when possible in France and Italy.
otherwise dehydrated potatoes and
onions are used.
Here is the special ration for in
valid American prisoners: Potted
chicken, crackers. concentrated soups
dehydrated spinach. creamed oatmeal
corn starch pudding. sweet chocolate.
extract of beef. soluble coffee and
bran. with occasional substitutes such
as dried eggs, potted veal, cheese
peanut butter. honey. matted milk

LOWER PHONE
RATES LIKELY
Burleson Plans to Correct
Inequities and Stop
Abuses.

Telephone rates in the United States
will be lowered rather than increas-
ed under Federal control
This is the hope and plan of the
United States Telegraph and Tele-
phone Administration, as expressed
yesterday by Postmaster General Bur
Lesson and concurred in by Solicitor
Lamar. of the Postoffice Department,
of which the administration is a
bureau.
Fear expressed by certain New York
papers that the charges ordered for
telephone installation would be fol-
lowed by orders increasing rates. in
line with the policy of the United
States Railroad Administration in in
creasing both freight and passenger
rates, prompted Postmaster General
Burieson to state the policy of the
administration upon telephone rates.
you may say for me quite posi-
lively that instead of increasing tele-
phone rates VIC hope to see them
lowered" said Mr.. Burleson
Judge Lamar explained that the ad-
ministration has under consideration
the Standardization OF rates with a
view to removal of abuses existing
subscribers suffers from unjust priv
ileges enjoyed by others.
Considering Hotel Charges.
A Private charges for telephone serv-
Ice by hotels. apartment houses and
other places operating exchanges in
excess of regular rates, is also hav-
ing the consideration of the Wire
Administration, with the probable
outcome Of a probable reduction of
these rates.
The Boston Public Service Com
mission held these rates to be illegal.
1t was pointed out by Solicitor La
mar. but he would not commit the
department further
1t is not denied that profiteering
in telephone rates is an abuse and the
policy of the administration in re-
moving inequities, together with the
precedent in the Boston case. is taken
to indicate the probable result TO be
expected from the Federal admins
tration's consideration of this ques-
ton.
