NO IMPROVEMENT NOTED
IN SITUATION AT MINES

CHICAGO. Nov. 26.-Progreas today
OF the national strike Of bitumIhous
coal miners into the twenty-sixth day
brought no marked Improvement In the
situation az the mines, Efforts OF the
government to bring about an agree
ment between the miners and opera
tors at Washington held chief attention.
The gradually decreasing fuel supply
forced additional shutting down 81
plants In the Middle West and in the
South the regional coal committee ne.
quested all industries which could do
so without heavy financial loss to close
down from this evening until Monday
morning.
Production In West Virginia today
held up the standard maintained since
the strike went into effect, with smaller
quantities added from tho wyoming and
New Mexico mines. In Texas a few
miners who had returned 70 work to-
day were out on a second strike.
In the Central West the coming Of
cold weather, forecast for today, was
expected to add to the discomfort which
had been held in allegiance by mild
temperatures during the past several
days. In that section many cities and
towns were virtually without fuel.

sn7ssu G TO-DAY

Bunkering permits were granted yes
terday by the director Of the AlleEheny
region for foreign vessels, permitting
them sufficient coal to reach the first
coaling station en- route to their desti-
nations. Authority also was granted for
supplying limited Quantities OF coal %
manufacturing plants Of that region.
At Sheridan Wye, six miners today
were under arrest charged with violat-
ing the strike Injunction issued by Fed
eral Judge A. b. Anderson at Indiana
polls. They were believed to be the
first workers to be taken into custody
under that restraining order.
A Showdown" IN profits made by
bituminous operators Is needed for tho
American people to form a Just opinion
on the coal strike situation, William G.
McAdoo, former secretary Of the treas
ury. declared after various operators
associations had ~telegraphed criticisms
because he injected himself into the
wage controversy" He asserted the OPP
orators were making excess profits In
1917 and that If an examination OF their
books showed that they now were max
ing such profits they should bear the
expense Of any increased pay for the
miners.

yah. interior decorator, in the attic Of
q residence at 1860 Harbert avenue.

Different Situation.

The only difference between the sit
uation In 1917 and now Ia that, In order
TO stimulate the production Of coal, II
large enough sale price had to be sane
toned so as to furnish an incentive in
profit for operators, large n small.
Now, however, II has been found that
the operators made large proflts-in
some cases too large.
Similarly the government Is confident
that the cost OF living Is going to drop
within the next year or so. Therefore,
actual figures agreed upon for the In
crease IN the price Of coal and the in
crease in wages must represent a con :
promise between claims OF the miners
for 40 per cent increase In wages, and
the willingness Of the operators to pay
an advance OF 20 per cent. The exact
figures viii be half way between the
two.
But there Is another important fac
tor which differs from the situation
which existed when the maximum price
was fixed at the outset Of the war. The
public paid the whole bill. Now. how
ever, IL has been determined that the
increases In wages shall como partly
out OF the profits of the operators and
partly from the public, In order that a
reasonable profit shall be obtained by
the operators and the Incentive sha;
remain with both miners and operators
to produce enough coal TO meet the de
mands Of the nation and the world,
All sides seemed happy as Tuesdays
cabinet meeting began and the gen.
eral expectation was that at the end
OF the session at the White House and
the days conference between operators
and miners there would be definite
progress toward a settlement Of the
| whole controversy, which has been sc
menacing as the nation approached the
winter season.

On the other hand, a settlement in the
central competitive field will carry such
weight that the men In the other dis
tricts win go back to work feeling con-
hdent OF what their wage increases
There seems to have been some dif-
ference of opinion between Secretary
Wilson and some of the statlsticians
representing the o~perators as to the
number Of men who are employed In
the pick mining OF coal. The oper-
atoFs insisted that the secretary was
computing his wage increases on a
matter Of fact, the machine mining Of
coal Welded the greater production.
Machine and Pick Mining.
The misunderstanding Is doubtless due
TO the fact that one side looked at
production and the other looked at the
number Of men actually employed, 1t
is true that the actual production Of
coal by machine mining is about Sc per
cent, or thereabouts, and that the pick
mining Yields In the n~eighbofhood OF
A. per cent, or at least II per cent,
according to more conservative esti-
mates.
But in figuring the high cost Of llv-
ing the department Of labor did not
concern itself with the relative guam
titles produced by machine and by
hand. 1t did concern itself with the
actual number OF men employed in pick
mining, for obviously 1t takes more
men to produce by this method than by
machines, In fact. the secretary OF
labor claims that at least 81 per cent
Of the men employed In the bituminous
fields are engaged In pick mining. ST
he applied his figures on the cost of
living to that situation.
DR.. Harry Garfield's set of principles
Indicate clearly that he Is In agreement
with Secretary Wilson as to the com
putations on the increased cost OF liv-
Ing. He, too, says that inasmuch as
the operators were permitted to in
crease their profits In 1911, and q wage
cause Of the increase In cost OF living
between 1914 and 1917, 30 must Il be
equitable to grant again an increase 10
wages and an increase In price OF coal.
