MINERS WANT MORE PAY.
Will Demand Increase in Wages When
Peace 10 Signed.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. June 2-According to
reports here Iowa coal miners will re-
quest raise In wages when their
present wage agreement expires. This
agreement will expire with the sign
ing Of the peace treaty. A new con-
tract is then to be drawn up.
The agreement under which the
miners have been. working binds the
workers not to strike until the end of
the, war; There have been no labor dif-
ficulties in the mines since the agree
ment was signed.
The miners base their claims for an
increase in wages largely on the in
creased price received for coal by the
operators. The miners state that in
1916 they were receiving a wage equal
to 80 per cent of the selling price of
per cent. they declare.
The mines generally over the state
are doing but little business now 1t
lis reported. Not a few miners have
left the state for fields of greater
activity. The railroads are following
the same policy of holding off their
buying that they Followed a year ago
the operators report. The roads want
special price reductions if they buy
coal and put it in storage at this sea
son of the year.
A year ago there was considerable
storage of coal OH the part of the con-
sumers which is not being duplicated
this year. The campaign put on by
the fuel administration for storing coal
was effective, mine operators say. But
no such campaign is being put on this
year, the war is over and there Is no
threatened shortage of fuel this COM
ing fall. Hence storing coal is not
being practiced.

the points summed up in resolutions
passed at the conference of the Bur-

prised the committee on resolutions.
The resolutions appear in part as
follows:
Z THAT we recognize the seriousness
Of the hours. the perils threatening
civilization with unspeakable disaster
and can see no hope except in the tri-
umph Of moral and spiritual forces.
That we. therefore. greatly regret the
action Of the president in nominating
George D. Heron to an important dip

recently in recommending to congress
the Hitting CO TIC ban c.. heer and light

REDS LEAVE A TOWN
BolsIie Ozcrki Is Evacuated by the
BOlsheyiki

Archangel. April 1S.-The Bolshe-
Wiki have evacuated the town of Boil
SHE Ozerkf. according to peasants who
fled to the allied lines yesterday. The
enemy was evidently driven out by
the constant Smelling to which the
Russo-Allied artillery has been sub
jecting the town during the last two
weeks, finally making it untenable.
The Bolsheviki are reported to have
established positions in the woods
near by. This bombardment, together
with a shortage of supplies due to
the thawing roads leading south from
Bolshie Ozerki, is seriously impairing
the morale of the Bolsheviki, who are
reported to be without reserve pro-
visions The peasants reported that
the troops desired to leave the front,
but that the commist officers were
holding them in place with machine
guns posted along the road in their
rear.
The enemy's guns from near Boil

position last evening for twenty min
utes without causing any casualties

INSURANCE HEARING TODAY
Companies Fight To Retain 10 Per
Cent Surcharge Clause.

The hearing in the case in which
ninety-one insurance companies in
Kansas are asking a permanent in
junction to prevent Frank L. Travis,
state superintendent of insurance,
from cutting off the 10 per cent sur
charge charged on all fire and sprfn-
kler insurance, came up this after
noon in the district court. The order
made bys Travis was to become effect
i've March 81, but was checked by the
issuance of a temporary restraining
order by the court following the fill
ing of the suit.
The 10 per cent surcharge was al
lowed Carey j. Wilson during his term
of office and became effective in No
Vember, 1918. The insurance COM
panies argue that. owing to the high
cost of material and other advances,
they are operating without profit; that
So per cent of their assets are paid out
on insurance claims and that the re-
naming 40 per cent is expended as
the cost of doing business. They ask
that the 10 per cent surcharge be con-
tinued, per cent for profit and per
cent for the building up of q reserve
fund to cover claims.
