GET AN INCREASE
President Wilson Approves Award
for Coal Miners.
BOOSTS WAGE 20 PER CENT
Means SIS. ooo,o 600 Raise in Coal DID.
gers Pay-President Strikes Out
Provision Fixing Terms of Re-
troactive Payments.

Washington, Aug. 31.-President
Wilson approved the majority report
OF the anthracite coal commission in
creasing the wages of contract miners
70 per cent over present rates.
Miners employed as company men
are given an increase of II per cent
and the same amount is given con
sideration miners and miners labor
ers and monthly men.
The findings, the report said. would
fix minimum rate of 5215 cents per
hour for the lower paid men in the
anthracite industry.
The. president struck out of the re-
port a provisioH fixing the terms of
retroactive payments under the award
which he said was outside the com
missions jurisdiction. Thomas Ken
nedy, chairman of the miners scale
committee, had protested this feature
OF the award, he said.
Anthracite mine workers win re-
ceiye about $4,000, 600 in back pay I'M
der the retroactive feature of the
award, which makes it effective April
/, 1920, and the total increase award
ed to the $4,000 miners will average,
the commission said at least $50, 0O0,-
OG0' annually.
The majority report declared that
the award "offers no jurisdiction for
any advance in the retail prices of
coal, but on the other hand, is con-
siStent with a decline in prices" Any
sharp advance in retail prices, the re-
port added, could not be charged to
the operators. the miners or the
award
The minority report. signed by Com
missioner Ferry. while departing from
the majorty's conclusions, says that
officers of the United Mine Workers
'wilI of course accept and carry out
this majority award with the utmost
good faith"
While the adjudication of any dis
pute necessarily results in some disap-
pointment." the president said in his
letter 70 the commission. - am sure
that the spirit with which you have
acted will receive the communication
of the great bulk of the American peo-
Pile"
