Reese says:

legislation to prevent the enormous

ANOTHER FUTILE "INvEsTIoA.
TIoN" PROPOSED,


Now senator Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey has presented a resolu-
ton for a now Investigation. What
the people want is not constant In
vestigation. but action which will
tend TO relieve the situation.
soon the full b0-cent increase In the
price OF coal which the operators an
nounced last spring viii be In eject.
Then the price viii remain stationary
until next April. when. IL the new
wage scale 10 signed. as now contem-
plated. the price may 20 up AZ much
az $3.50 a ton.
+ Whenever the anthracite mlnera
have had no beneft from the Increase.
cost OF living has invariably risen. 20
that the miners and their families
have had no beneft from the lncrease.
The earnings OF the mlnera are now
large, but practically the entire
amount is absorbed by living costs,
and they are not much better on than
when they received smaller wages.
The miners OF this district are de-
manding Is per cent increase In
wages. and they deserve It. Unless
some method Ii evolved whereby the
cost OF food. shoes and clothing IN
substantially lowered next spring, the
miners win surely insist upon a sub
stantial wage increase as well as
shorter hours.
The operators win undoubtedly
take advantage OF this situation 10
make q substantial raise In the price
OF coal II should be remembered
that the miners are not sharing in
any wage increase In the higher prico
placed on coal this summer. The
people OF the anthracite region are ali
Of the opinion that II the Government
u too Indifferent 70 the interests OF
the people 70 make effective efforts 70
lower the cobt OF food. the miners are
perfectly justified In demanding a
very large increase in wages In order
TO permit them TO meet these prices.
IF there Is any shortage Of coal this
winter II will be due TO the action OF
the operators, who allowed the minefs
TO work only half time for two
months early this spring. This cut on
nearly 100000 tons OF coal, for winch
only the operators are to blame.
After an increase OF 50 cents In the
price OF coal was announced, the
miners were allowed to work steadily
again.
