DR.. Garfield explained then in suggest
ing the IA per cent advance which the
miners rejected that he was not fixing
wage scales and had no authority to do
so. He indicated that the increase sug-
gested was merely that which the oper-
ators were able to grant without ad-
vaneing the price of coal which the
government has fixed.
simultaneously the railroad estab-
lished an embargo effective Monday
against shipment of fuel oil from the
West to points east of Chicago and st
Louis. This action. it was explained
was necessary to conserve the small
supply of coal available for territory
west OF the Mississippi river and to
compel where possible the use of fuel
oil instead.
