ray
London, Feb. 25.-It is calculated that
100000 600 will be added to the annual
expense of the collieries of Great Brit
ain and 81 ton to the cost Of coal to
the consumer if the miners are granted
the higher pay, shorter hours and mod

they do not produce more coal under
those conditions.
Although the miners in America are
fewer, it is pointed out, the production
there is enormously greater, owing to
better working conditions, modern ma
chinery and modern mine equipment.
Sympathy with the demands of the min
