MINERS WAGES LOST
GREATEST SINGLE ITEM
Railroads and Operators Out
$4,000, ,000-No Figures
Placed on Loss to Industries
In Production Curtailment.

Columbus, O., Dec. 16.-Loss to
the United States on account of the
recent coal strike amounted to ap-
proximately $126000,000. while that
to Ohio was about $27,000,000 ac-
cording to w. D. Mckinney, secre-
tary of the Southern Ohio Coal
Exchange. Additional loss to rail
roads from curtailed service and to
industries forced to shut down on
account of the fuel situation could
not be estimated and no allowance
therefore is made in the estimate,
Mr.. Mckinney stated.
Miners Greatest Losers.
The miners were the greatest
losers in the strike, Mr.. McKinney's
figures showed. Sixty million dol
lars was his estimate of their losses
in wages. The loss to the railroads
he placed at $40,O0O,OOO while the
operators figures he set at $780,
100000.
In Ohio, the distribution of the
loss, according to Mr.. McKinney's
estimate was: Operators, Sc, 100000;
m liners, $l1,000,0O0; railroads
$1O.0O0.0OO.
The last estimate includes revenue
on coal only.
Production Below Normal.
At the beginning of the strike the
production was already 100000
tons short of normal, Mr.. Mckinney
stated. This had already assured
the mines of the maximum tonnage
that could be produced and handled
by the railroads, he said. On ac-
count Of the strike, he added, the
Ohio mines alone lost another !, $780,
600 tons. The figure for the entire
country he placed at 100000 tons
daily.
Cost of maintaining the average
mine in working condition without
producing coal he placed at 40 cents
a ton, to which must be added Is
cents per ton for overhead. Profit
per ton ranged from 20 to Is cents,
he said.

14PER CENT PAY
RAISE TO MINERS
MAY BE DOUBLED
Operator Tells Senate Investi-
gators What Presidents Pro-
posal May Mean.

N Washington, Dec. l5.-The senate
coal investigation committee resunl-
ing today its inquiry into the admin
istration strike settlement agree
ment was told by Tracy w. Guthrie,
president of the Hillman Coal and
Coke company, that one clause in
the proposition advanced by Presi-
dent Wilson and accepted by the
miners, would bring about an IN
crease in the miners wages at least
doubling the ID per cent, which DR..
H. A. Garfield, resigned fuel admin
istrator, thought justified"
While the senate committee was
pursuing its inquiry the railroad ad-
ministration withdrew the last, seIu-
blances of the restrictions on fuel
resulting from the strike and began
delivering coal to the original con-
signees instead of distributing it to
points of greatest need. 1t rescind-
ed the embargo on the movement of
fuel oil out OF the west and the or
ders reducing the amount of coal
permitted to go to coking ovens.
Wilson Awaits Palmer.
At the White House today it was
said that President Wilson would
not appoint the commission pro-
vided in the strike settlement pro-
posal until Attorney General Pal
mer returns from the west, late this
week.
The senatorial inquiry was re-
opened with the calling of r. V.
Norris, engineer for the fuel admin
istration, who was conducted by
Senator Frelinghuysen, republican,
New Jersey, Michigan, through a
maze of statistics bearing on labor
costs and prices of necessities.
Secretary of Labor Wilson pro-
posed that the miners be given an
increase of 3167 per cent" Mr.. Mr.
ris explained, because he based his
calculations on the pay to pick
miners. In 1917, when the coal
mine wages were readjusted, the
pick miners were getting the great
est amount, and the scales were bal
anced up by giving them a lesser
increase than other classes of labor
around the mines. This was neces-
sary in order to induce men to 10
the other work.
Average Wage Basis.
"Dr. Garfield decided that a~par-
ticular wage group ought not to
serve now as a basis for calcula-
tons, and took the average wage OF
all workers. After arriving at that,
he found that an addition of IA per
cent to their earnings would com
pensate them for the cost of living
since the last adjustments were
made"
Chairman Frelinghuysen asked if
the witness approved of the creation
OF a commission composed of one
miner, one mine operator and one
representative of the public with the
power to fix wages and prices.
That would depend on the make
up of the commission" Norris re-
turned, "but | think at least a larger
number ought to be named. 1t gives
two interests chance to combine
against the third"
Mr.. Guthrie was called to present
actual facts from pay rolls upon
wages.
about 20 per cent of miners are
idl. all the time, according to our
experience with % mines," he told
the committee. "That is, we have
to have l20 names on the pay roll in
