PUBLIC WILL NOT BE
SADDLED WITH ANY
RAISE GIVEN MINERS
BIZ Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 6.-Not one
cent can be added to the price
of coal to finance any increase
in the wages of miners, Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield declared to-
day, after reading press dis
patches that Governor Cox, of
Ohio, had proposed that, miners
and operators in that State COM
promise on the basis of u twenty
five per cent. advance in pay for
the men. DR.. Garfield indicated
. that the government would in
terpose no objection if the in
crease could be given without
advancing coal prices.
There will be no increase in the
present price of coal as fixed un-
der the Lever act" DR.. Garfield
said, mo matter what local ar
rangements and agreements are
put into effect"
He added that his position was
absolutely unchanged from that
taken on November 26, with the
authorization of the cabinet. DIR.
Garfield explained then, in sug-
gesting the fourteen per cent.
advance, which the miners
promptly rejected. that he was
not fixing wage scales. and had
no authority to do So. He indi-
Gated that the increase suggested
was merely that which the oper-
ators were able to grant without
advancing the price of coal,
which the government has fixed.

Supply Near Exhaustion
1t is a matter of only n few DAYS
until it will be necessary to sus-
pend the whole force, however, ac-
cording TO the belief expressed by
officials of the two companies to-
day.
No other industrial concern of the
city has as yet received restrictions
on its fuel supply, according to the
best information available to-day.
Although street railways companies
in various cities have been com
PEELED to curtail operations to a GER
tain extent, no orders of similar ef-
feet have as yet been received here
by Harrisburg Railways.
AT the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company no intimation of
any curtailment in operations has
been suggested. This concern is de-
pendent largely on river coal and
power generated by the Susquehan-
ma river at York Haven.
