CRISIS CONFRONTING
 NATION AS RESULT OF COAL SITUATION
ORDER PROHIBITING MANUFACTURE OF COKE LOOKED ON AS FIRST STEP CONTROVERSY
 CENTERS ON TWO PROPOSALS

Washington, Nov. 26-A de- finite and final statement on behalf of the government in the coal wage controversy will be made to the operators and miners late today by Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield.
 While neither Dr. Garfield nor members of the cabinet would say what the cabinets decision was, it was reported that the fuel administrator had won his point for an increase of from 20 to D per cent in miners wages as against the 31 per cent proposed by Secre-H tary Wilson and agreed to by the miners. -
 Steps to meet the situation until something like normal production had been restored were under con- sideration by the fuel administrators central coal committee, with an or der. prohibiting the manufacture of coke designed as the first move in the nation wide campaign.
 The controversy in the cabinet cen- tered around the proposals of Fuel Administrator Garfield that in com putting wage increases the advances made to all miners in the central competitive field be taken into con sideration and of Secretary Wilson that the increase to pick miners be the basis.
 MT Wilson's proposal was support ed today by John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Work CTS, who said the calculation of wage advances since 1913 should be based on rates throughout the country and not merely in the central competitive | field.
 Pick mining has been taken as l basis of every wage contract, includ- | ing the 1917 Washington agreement, MT. Lewis said Taking issue with | the oparetors' statement that only 20 per cent of the miners in the central | territory use the pick, MT. Lewis said | the number of men in Pennsylvania. | Ohio. Indiana and Illinois on the pick and machine work were practically I equal
 l In the country as a whole, he con- tinued, about 45 per cent. of the total
 tonnage produced is dug out with a pick, but as high as 50 per cent. of i the total number of employees are on pick work. This disparity was due,
 he said, to the high productivity of machine methods.
 | Statistics compiled by state labor
 departments, Lewis said, show that
 only 27 per cent of the employees in
 the central field are day laborers, in
 stead of 40 per cent. as claimed by i the operators. E 4- stss-s
