GARFIELD TELLS WHY ID PER CENT
RAISE FOR MINERS IS FAIR

increased burden placed upon the
mining industry will be far in
excess of the increase in the cost
of living. If this principle were
applied in industries generally, il
is obvious that the resulting cost
would be passed along to the gem
eral public, and the increased
wages would increase in a rapid
spiral, taking as a minimum the
percentage OF increase in the cost
OF living. In the long run this
would add many new and serious
burdens to the cost of living OF
the entire public, and would fall
more injuriously upon the work.
Ing classes than up any others.
Government Price Control.
1t seems to me that the reason
able way to deal with this situa-
tion is to give to the industry as
whole an average Increase COM
mensurate with the increase in
the cost of living and then let
that amount of increase be appor-
toned in accordance with the
wage bases that are acceptable to
the employers and the employees.
Control of prices by the Govern
ment will be maintained for the
present.
The present negotiation stands
by itself, but it Is far from dispos-
ing of the fundamental con-
troversy between operators and
mine workers. That controversy
is bound to be a continuing one
as matters now stand. 1t involves
living conditions and conditions
in the mines, as we'll as wages
and profits, and the general rela-
tion between operators and mine
workers. Therefore, to aid in ap-
plying the principles which have
governed us and which should
govern in reaching conclusions in
the future, it is urged that a per-
manent consultative body with
purely advisory powers. be set up,
consisting Of the Secretary Of the
Interior as chairman and of an
equal number of representatives
of the operators and of the mine
workers, chosen in such mannr
as they may each determine from
time to time.
Advocates Coal Repsrts.
In order that the data neces-
sary for the consideration Of this
consultative body may at all times
be available, 1t is. urged that the
Congress make provision for col
1ectipg definite and trustworthy
Information concerning the coal
and coke industry and for the
tabulation of the same in quar-
terly reports showing:

age, and stocks of coal and coke.

data concerning the industry

Fuel Administrator Harry A. Gar
ieId announced the terms of settle
ment of the coal strike. which the
will sanction, in the fol-
owing S atement made last night t.
the joint subscale committee OF the
,oa, operators and miners:
On the oath inst. i announced
that the public must not be asked
to pay more than l. Is now paying
for coal, unless Ii Is necessary to
do so in order to provide reason
2 able wages to the mine workers
and a reasonable profit to the
operators. Careful investigation
forces me to the conclusion that,
in accordance with this and the
other principles set forth on the
oath inst. the public ought not to
be required 10 pay anv increase in
coal prices at this time.
The prices fixed by the Govern
ment on coal were calculated to
increase production for war pur-
poses. Coal was asic and the in
crease in production was impera-
tive. The operators are now in
receipt of margins which were
necessary to effect that increase
of production. but which are
larger than are required under
present conditions. 1t was esti-
mated that the production needed
for 1918 was 600, 900 900 tons. The
estimate for 1919 is 500 O0O, 900 tons.
Applying the principles set forth
in paragraph 2 of the statement
of November "a, when the average
increases in wages since 1913 for
the various classes of mine work

In the cost of living since that
