FURTHER WAGE
INCREASES MADE
Anthracite Coal Miners and
Shipyard Workers Will
Get More Money.

WASHINGTON. Oct ss-The ma
tional labor adjusting committee an
nounced today that it has recon-
mended awards Of wage increases
for anthracite coal miners and work
ers in ship yards, the first under A
national policy for sterilization OF
wages for all laborers. skilled and
unski1ed. employed on government
work. The general policy formu-
lated several days ago. is in the
hands of Pres't Wilson for approval.
simultaneously with the an
nounoement regarding the ship
workers, the Macy shipbuilding
labor adjustment board made pub
lie an award conforming TO the rec
concentrations Of tint conference.
but no award for miners has been
made public and Fuel Administrator
Garfield declined TO comment on the
action OF the committee OF which
Felix Frankfurter is chairman.
An official Of the fuel administra-
ton, in the confidence Of DIR. Gar
field, said 1t was hardly probable an
award for the anthracite miners
would be made by DR.. Garfield until
the president has approved the gen.
eral wage plan. and any announce
ment of the increase to be granted
was premature. DR.. Garfield. he
said. has sole authority to act. By
the recommendation made public
the miners are to get wages ranging
from AZ cents an hour for laborers
outside the mine to estimated aver
age earnings for contract miners OF
approximately $3.50 a day.
Mr.. Frankfurter expressed the
belief that Or. Garfield would an
nounce his award tomorrow and
saiS that the recommendation
made today represented the judg-
ment Of the entire conference.

Gray & Davis is an old-establish-
ed concern, and its business began
in 1895. Unfortunately, the company
has not rendered any statement Of
income since 1915. nor a statement
OF its output. In 1913 40 percent was
paid on the common stock and no
dividend has been paid on this class
since. The dividend on the pre-
ferred stock was also suspended
some time ago. AS a stakeholder, we
would suggest that you ask the
company to give you a balance sheet
and income account, TO which you
are entitled. We would not suggest
sale OF your shares in the mean
while, as Gray & Davis is really a
peace stock, and we are inclined to
believe that the worst has been seen
in the situation. We are endeavoring
TO get some information indepen-
IDENTIFY, and in the event of our being
successful will again communicate
with you.
