All Year Round

CLEVELAND, Sept. S.--A sharp increase
in the basic wages Of all coal miners in
the United States and Canada, the six
hour day and the thirty hour week are
written large on the programme for the
international convention of the United
Mine Workers of America, which will
open here tomorrow. Recommends
tons that these demands be submitted

enoe In Buffalo September rs will go
before the delegates upon assembling to-
morrow and the temper of the arriving
delegates presages acceptance of the
recommendation. Unless granted by
November 1. the date contemplated in
the recommendation. a continentwide
strike Is recommended.
Strike talk is, however. deprecated
by miners officials. who assume conf
dence that an agreement with the op-
orators will be reached without recourse
to this measure and the word strike
Ia little heard among the assembling
delegates, whose talk is rather OF prices
and living conditions.
Problems of living costs will be TO
the fore at the convention. Demands
Tor the sharply increased wage scale
are based and justified on the score
OF the enhanced cost OF all necessities
Of life. Scotss OF resolutions submitted
by local unions deal with high cost OF
living, profiteering and kindred problems
Of reconstruction.
The opening report OF acting Presi-
dent John L. Lewis. who will preside be-
cause of the illness OF President Hayes,
will be largely devoted to living costs
and exhaustive statistics to prove the
impossibility of continuing under the
wage agreement drawn up In Washing
ton in 1917. The effect of the increased
cost of mining coal, resulting from the
proposed agreement, may affect the gen.
eral cost of living, owing to higher fuel
costs upon rail transportation and man.

Though a large Increase in wages is
certain to be demanded. the exact
amount remains to be worked out.
Proposals contained in the resolutions
of local unions range from Is to 60
per extraordinarily to 100 per cent
These resolutions will be referred to the
| scale committee.
The demand for the six hour day In
place of the present eight hour period

only upon the customary shorter hours

BOSTON, Sept. S.-The car men on the
Eastern Massachusetts Railway will be
called out on strike on Wednesday I'M
less the trustees accept before that
time suggestions tor settlement of the
controversy made by union officials.
This was made known tonight by the
issuance of a statement signed by WILL

]. Donnelly. secretary. Of the joint con-
ference board of the fifteen locals Of

The car men recently voted to reject
an award of IL per cent increase In
wages by the Federal War Labor Board
and to strike at the call of sub
committee of the joint conference board.
comprising the chairmen and secretary.
They objected to the award because II
gave them lower rate of pay than that
on other street railways in this section.
The union leaders asserted that the
award was illegal because the War La
Dor Board had failed to take into con-
sideration the prevailing wage rate In
the district.
The conference board statement said
that the board did not want ito discom-
mode the people who patronize this road
but that the trustees had "mhde II i'm
possible for us to do anything except

bers."
I'VE have kept in constant communl-
cation" the statement continued. with
out international officers, and are fully
advised by them of our rights In THU
situation.
Unless the trustees are willing to
accept one of the three suggestions
made by US to settle this controversy
before Wednesday morning, we fee
that we cannot longer delay the In
structions of our Stsmbers and will bt
obliged to advise them that We have
exhausted every means in our power
and that nothing remains for them tC
do except to suspend work. We have
communicated this information to our
international officers and on Wednes-

200 undertakers are attending the an
nual convention of the New Jersey and
National Funeral Directors who are

undertakers exhibits, now bring 800,
and the minimum cost for coffin with
trimmings now Is $l25. The delegates
complain also that not only the grave
diggers have jumped, the price from IS
tc ST for opening grave, but that
the drivers OF hearses and automobile
funeral cars are keeping pace with the
high cost of labor.

dent, Clark q. Rogers. of Bordentown,

appeared in palm beach suits, white

TO SELL u. S.
FOOD AT WHOLESALE
Sales Will Be Restricted to
Consumers.

A city wholesale store for the sale
Of surplus army toodstuffs in larger
quantities than may be obtained in
the school stores win be opened Thurs
day at the Greensboro Market, under
the Greensboro Bridge. Fifty-niDth
street. Everything now on the list
of army foods in the school stores Will
be sold, but no wholesalers or retailers
In the food business, or anybody else
who designs to resell his purchases. need
apply.
To get what you wish at the whole
sale market it will be necessary to place
an order with Edwin J. OMalley, Dep
uty Commissioner of Public Markets,
and ifehe is satisfied a customer is what
he represents himself to be, he will o. K
the order These sales are arranged for
the benefit OF community houses and as
sociations or other bodies or assocla-
tions of people who wish to buy In bulk
The total receipts of sales in the
schools up to the close of business on
Saturday amounted to $653,011.56.
The Rev. DIR. Jonathan g. Day. Com
missioner Of Public Markets. said last
evening he had received no word OF any
confusion arising over sales of food In
the Easements of schools on the first
day the fall session of school work was
resumed. The sales stopped at 11:16
o'clock, fifteen minutes before the morn
ing session closed. and were resumed
at lis o'clock, fifteen minutes after
the afternoon session began.
DIR. Day took particular pains to de-
clare that statements emanating from
the East Side that wholesalers had sue
ceeded in buying foodstuffs at the schools
for resale have not been confirmed by
Investigators. Those who made the
charges. he said. have failed utterly TO
name a single wholesaler to whom goods
have been sold. as alleged.
"I'll say to the man who made the
charges what President Wilson said to
the Senators, Put up or shut up "
DR., Day said
The Commissioner said that chain
stores are selling canned goods as never
before In those districts where these
goods are being sold In schools. When
canned goods are sold out In certain
schools, he said, the chain store folks
tell their customers the army supplies
are exhausted and urge them to lay in a
stock from the chain store shelves.
But while they are increasing their
sales" DR.. Day added, they are put
ting down prices, which Is good thing
for consumers"
