ADJUST THE WAGES
National Labor Committee Acts for
Shipbuildcrs and Miners.

Washington. Oct. 2S.-First recon-
mendations of the national labor adj
justing committee which Is working
out a national policy for Sterilization
of wages of all skilled and unskilled
labor employed on government work
were published today. They affected
shipworkers and anthracite coal
mines. The recommendations as to
ship workers were put into immediate
effect, but no announcement was
made by the fuel administration eff
fecting miners and some of the Off
cials of that agency said the announce
ment was premature.
The shipbuilding award provided "a
general scale. of 80 cents an hour for
skilled work. but rates of piece ork
are not to be changed until after
conferences here this week. Unskilled
workers were given substantial in.
creases and provisions are made for
revising the award every six months.
Generally the country was divided
into two districts, one for the Pacific
coast and one for the Atlantic, Gulf
and Great Lakes. In the first, in
c-eases of 20 per ceh5 were allowed,
ard in the second district, Is per cent.
The Pacific award is retroactive to
August l.
For all anthracite coal miners, the
committee, recommended wages rang
ing from AZ cents an hour for laborers
outside the mine to estimated average
earnings for contract miners of ap-
proximately $3.50 n day.

THE statements of the men leaves
federal officials little bit cloudy as to
how the statements can be made tangible
According to the statements Wilson
asserted to Ohlde that he had been sent
there BY the governor and told the state
guard story. The Rev. Keller SAYS that
wilson told him he was a personal repre-
sentative of the governor and also told
him the state guard story.
What About Wilson:
Molyneaux swears that tie governor
told him that he knew nothing of the
state guard story and that he did not
even know of Wilson's visit. In view Of
the sworn testimony of the Rev. Keller
which declares he was soliciting subscrib-
ers for 'Cappers Political Papers and that
he received words of thanks from the
governor and the governors denial that
he knew Wilson had been there, federal
possible that Mr.. Wilson took 1t upon
himself to announce himself personal
