OFFERED
BRITISH MINERS
Immediate Advance in Wages
and Shorter WOrkday in
Year 1921.
BURDEN PUT ON TAXPAYERS
Estimated Cost to Country Is Put at
$4,000, ,0oo-War Bonus to Be Re-
tanned for Current Year-Men Will
Have Voice In Mine Directions.

Andrew Bonar Law, the government
spokesman, in statement In the Brit
ish house of commons, said the gov
ernment had accepted the report of the
special coal commission, including it's
undertaking to report on the question
Of nationalism by May 20 and to issue
interim reports from time to time on
the problem of improvements in the
coal industry.
With reference to the report, which,
he explained, was signed by three rep
reSentatives Of the employers not d1-
rectly concerned in the coal industry,
and granted the miners two-thirds Of
their demands in wages, Mr.. Bonar
Law said that the signers of the report
recommended a further reduction in
hours in 1921 because they assumed
that by then the output Of 1913, name
ly, 2S70OOOOO tons, would be resumed.
The estimated cost Of what was rec
commended for the current year was
$215,0O0,0OO
1t was proposed that the profits Of
the coal masters should be limited to
IA pence per ton. Taking all things
into consideration, the estimated cost
to the taxpayers would be nearly $780,
100000.
Mr.. BOnar Law also announced that
the employers had made what he him
self and the labor minister considered
reasonable proposals to the transport
workers, and he had reason to believe
these would prove acceptable to the
men.
The government had definitely pro-
posed that wages, including the war
bonus, should be retained at the pres
ent level until the end Of the current
year. The men had, in addition to that,
however, pressed further demands in
volving an estimated additional ex-
penditure of more than $50,000,00O,
which, in the present position Of the
railroads, was a very serious thing.
The interim report Of the coal com
mission referred to, recommends seven
hours of work underground, instead of
eight, from July 16, and six hours
from July 81, 1921, subject to the eco
nomic position of the industry.
The report recommends an increase
in wages Of 2 shillings per shift for
colliery workers now under sliding
scales, and an advance of shilling for
workers under sixteen years.
In the interest of the country, the
colliery workers, it is further recon-
(mended, shall have an effective voice
in the direction of the mines.
The present system of ownership
and system of working is condemned,
and substitute must be found either
in naturalization or unification by ma
tional purchase or joint control.

Must Share in ReadIustment

The federal reserve board, In its
monthly bulletin, says that all classes
must share in the results of readjust-
ment, including wage and price mat
ters, soon to be expected. Without
mentioning specifically the attitude Of
either labor or employers, the bulletin
says:
ut would be unreasonable for any
factor in production to assert that 1t
would not bear its share in the gen.
eral process of readjustment. Such
readjustment is designed for the COM
mon benefit of all participants in in
dustry and the public at large.
eff it be eQuitably carried out, its
effects will not tend to favor any par
ticular class or group in the commu-
nifty, but will operate to increase the
general volume of business and the
regularity and smOothness with which
the industrial mechanism moves and
functions"

Board to Rule Printing Industry.

Formation of the international gen.
eral conference board Of the printing
industry for the purpose of "devising
means for peaceful settlement Of in
dustrial disputes" was effected at Gin
cinnati by five international unions of
the printing and allied industries and
representatives of the four organiza-
tions of employers who hire members
of these unions.
It was announced that the general
conference board, consisting of five
members from the unions and five
members from the employers organ
izations, would meet within the next
thirty days in Chicago, ito establish
policies, rules and regulations affecting
the industry"
These policies, it was said, will be-
come the law of the industry when
ratified by all the participating or
ganizations.

TELLS FARMERS To
VACCINATE G. WS
Only Way to Protect Them
From StoCkyardS Fever,
Says State Veterinarian.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-How
hundreds Of cattle, being bought at
this time by Indiana farmers, for
feeding purposes. and particularly
how calves may be saved from the
ravages of stock yards or shipping
fever, was pointed out today by DIR.
L. Z. NOrthrup, state veterinarian,
who recommends "A simple, mex
pensive treatment of all shipped cat
tie, at stock yards and upon their
arrival at the farm.
This is the season, Dr.. Northrup
says, when Indiana farmers are buy
ing shipped cattle in unusual mum
bers. for feeding through the fall
and winter months. These cattle al
most invariably are exposed to the
shipping fever. when they mingle
with other livestock. He asserts
that the state and national stock
yards abound with the bacilli which
produces the fever Frequently. he
adds, from eight 10 10 OF a bunch
Of cattle suffer fatal illness from
exposure.
The treatment is simple and GER
tain" DIR. Northrup says. 1T is SO
inexpensive hat no farmer can af-
ford to take a chance of losing even
"A single head of his feeders. 1t is
a vaccination that has proved loo
per cent. efficient in Indiana.
The only reason the Indiana live
stock sanitary board doesn't under
take TO enforce this vaccination is
that it happens not infrequently that
a buyer old shipped cattle only
for "A few days, awaiting an advan-
tageous opportunity to resell.
DR.. Northrup estimates that the
livestock interests Of the state may
save many thousands Of dollars by
simple p%recaution against shipping
fever.
