feet in Scapa Flow and the COM
pensations to be obtained therefor, the
supreme council today admitted in
principle the demolition Of the units
still in the hands of the allies. but
the question of the distribution Of
scrap iron resulting from the break
ing up of the ships was not decided.
France and Italy, whose shipbuild-
ing yards have been idle since 1914.
will receive certain units intact as
compensation for tonnage lost during
the war.
Although the percentage of the
tonnage of the warships to be al
lotted to different powers was not
finally fixed by the council today. IL
was agreed that the units to go to
France and Italy would be at least
five light cruisers and ten torpedo
boats each.
Each of the allied and associated
powers will receive a large battleship
and a torpedo boat for experimental
purposes, these units to be destroyed
within a year from the time Of their
delivery.

ANTHRACITE INSPECTOR
FORCED TO JOIN UNION
1900 Hazleton Strikers Go Back
Pending Decision by Con-
Citation Board.

HAZELTON, Pa. November 2s.-
The thirteen hundred miners who
struck at three collieries of the G. B.
Markle Company because William
Parkinson, a coal inspector, declined
to join the union returned to work
today.
1t has been agreed that the an
thracite Cancellation board will con-
slider the issue at it's meeting in
Wilkes Barre, on Monday.
Parkinson, after the strike. became
identified with the union under pro-
test.
The case is considered one of the
most important that has arisen in
hard coal disputes. 1t is claimed on
his behalf that the 1902 agreement
provides that there shall be no dis
elimination by the companies against
the men because of their membership
in a union. The same principle ap-
plies to the miners organization in
it's attitude toward men who do not
wish to be affiliated with 1t, coal
operators claim.

HOW Garfield
ReachedFigure
In Nine Wages

How did Fuel Administrator
Garfield arrive at the conclusion
that IA per cent increase in their
wages would be sufficient to give
the bituminous coal miners a liv-
ing wage?
Figures furnished DIR. Garfield by
the bureau of labor statistics
showed that the increase in cost
of living in eighteen shipbuilding
centers had been 1913 per cent
since 1913. The same bureau fur
nished DR.. Garfield with figures
showing that the increase in the
rate of the wages paid to all wo, 4
ers in the bituminous coal mines
in central district had been bS per
cent in the same period.
Taking the basic cost of living In
1913 as 100. then the cost OF liv-
ing at present would be approx
mately $50. and taking the basic
rate of wages in 1913 as 100. then
the rate today would be 15s. The
increase in the cost of living was
greater than the increase IN the
rate of wages by %. To obtain the
necessary increase in the rate OF
wages to make the increase since
1913 equal the increase In the cost
of living it is necessary to dlVloe
% by 1853. The result Is the per-
centage increase in rate OF wages
desired, or approximately II per
cent.
