HOW GARFIELD FIGURED.
Fsusassn Per. Cent Raise Meets u
creased Cost Of Living.

Fourteen Per, Cent Raise Meta IN
creased Cost Of Living. e"
Washington. Nov. 2s.-Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield arrived at the con-
clusion that . ~ per cent increase IN
wages would be sufficient for the
mine workers In this manner:
Figures furnished him by the bureau
OF labor statistics showed that the in
creased cost Of living had been 1913
per cent since 1919. Other figures
showed that tho wage increase to BIZ
luminous coal miners in the central
competitive field In the same period
had been 5s per cent.
Taking the basic cost Of living In
1913 a. 100. DR.. Garfield figures that
the present cost Of. living would be
approximately $50. With the basic rate
Of wages in 1913 as 100, the rate today
was figured at 15S. 49,.
Tho increase In the cost Of living
was therefore, 81 per cont greater than
the increase In the rate Of wages. To
obtain the necessary increase In rate
Of wages to equaliss the increased cost
Of living 1t was necessary to divide %
by 15S, which resulted In approx
mately IA per cent
In other words taking IS az q basic
wage and adding 81 per cent, the re-
suit is $3.50. Adding II per cent,
which Is s1.lo, the result Is 80. Put
ting the basic cost Of, living at IS and
adding 80. per cent. the result Is 50. ~

Indications are that neither side has
relaxed its determination to carry Its
point. Public sentiment for compro-
mise Is growing stronger. with tho
bulk Of opinion apparently Insisting
that President Wilson modify his
absolute stand against the Lodge re-
servations. H.
Republican senators already have
made numerous suggestions to the
White House that Q change In the pre-
ambls, striking out the requirement
that the allies make their acceptance
Of the American reservations In writ
ing. would not be Objectionable. Party
pride threatens to prevent any action
until the country forces one side to
yield. 's''u

The Mexican situation must be gone
