MINERS HEAD THINKS
GARFIELD BLUNDERED

Johnston, Pa, Nov. 2S-President
John Brophy. District No. 2, United
Mine Workers. returning to head
quarters at Ciearfield today from the
disrupted Washington mine confer
nece. tonight said that in his opinion
the miners Of the central Pennsyl-
vania field and Of the country at
large will refuse to accept the four
teen per cent. increase proposed by
Fuel Administrator Garfield. He
also said he thought no separate
scale would be made for this field.
President Brophy said DR.. Gar
field admitted he had ''blundered'
when in January, 1913, he gave the
operators Of this field an increase of
80 cents ton over the central COM
petitive base of $2.45. Brophy told
Garfield that the operators for a
full year had the benefit of the
higher rate. that it gave the oper-
ators $3o.000.000 and increased the
average profits for the field to
"a cents ton. while pre-war profits
were eight to ten cents a ton. On
the other hand says the distric.
president the miners Of the field
averaged $s3 month wages for the
nfst nine months Of this year.
For solid year." says Mr.
Brophy. "Mr. Garfield was not very
considerate Of the public, nor of the
miners, either"
/. operators in this field are at sea
tonight. A considerable number OF
mines. they say. will of necessity he
closed down if a fourteen per cent
wage increase is to be paid entirely
out of profits. With this President
brophy agrees. as the margin or
prof1ts vary greatly.

COAL MIDDLE
(continssd from Pass Ons)

instructions issued here by the War
Department in connection with the
possible use Of troops in coal nelds
regions stiii were in effect and that
department commanders stood
ready to guard the fields the instant
their aid was requested by state Au-
thOrities.
Operators tonight set out to re-
sumo production, 20 far as that was
possible under the muddled condi-
tions by telegra phing notice for post
ing at mines everywhere Offering an
increase Of n per cent. for all men
willing to work.
There were few expressions az to
how this information might be re-
cetved but representatives Of the
miners here still declared 1t wonld
BE- no incentive and that 1t would be
ignored especially in the central COM
pet1ttve fields, embracing the states
Of Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and West
ern Pennsylvania. Operators. how
ever, believed that it would draw
large numbers to the mines and that
next week would see a big increase
in the daily soft coal output DR..
Garfield had explained earlier in the
day that he regarded II per cent. a
Just and sufiicinet wage advance for
mine workers and that mine owners
Who did not cooperate with the
government would find their prop
critics taken over and operated by
the fuel administration.
t -
the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea, went home tonight. Before
leaving Tor Indianapolis Lewis saw
Secretary OF Labor Wilson and
samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation Of Labor. He
explained that he had arranged
with Gompers to have the fedora
tons lawyers assist counsel for the
miners in perfecting their appeal
from the ruling of Federal Judge An
derson ordering the coal strike Or
der cancelled.
In labor and official circles the
meeting Of Lewis and Gompers was
regarded as significant.
After leaving Secretary Wilson's
Office Lewis said:
''par. Garfield represents the gov
ernment. Mr.. Wilson told me that to.
day"
This was taken by Lewis to mean
that the IA per cent wage offer. was
definitely and Gnally the govern
ment's o6er, and that Mr. Wilson's
proposal for a 81 per. cent. advance
had been rejected by the cabinet. SO
far a. obtaining help for his union.
Lewis realized that II Per cent. was
all he might expect.
The operators wage scale COM
mtttee will meet here again next
Wednesday to agree upon the details
necessary TO preserve existing dif-
ferentiais in putting a ii per cent.
wage advance into effect.
The telegram urging all operators
to post notices Offering the IA per
cent increase at once was sent by a
committee which remained in Wash
fn9ton TO represent the central COM
pedtive field. 1t was sent after con-
sulting with DR.. Garfield.
