COAL WAGE TANGLE
UPT0 WHITE HOUSE
BOTH SIDES TO AWAIT ACTION
BY WILSON,.
TO IRON OUT DIFFERENCES
President Has Hopes of Bringing Op
orators and Miners Together on
Some Sort Of Compromise.

Washington, ID. Gin all quarters
concerned over the bituminous coal
controversy a disposition was evinced
to await President Wilson word before
taking any action.
The majority report, arising from
the split in the commission, was at
the White House, but the minority
report of John p. White, miners rep
resentative on the commission, still
was uncompleted. Neither Of the
documents, ii was said at the White
House, would be made public until the
president determined whether Mr..
White and his assistant, Henry NJ.
Robinson, the commission chairman,
and public representative on it, and
Rembrandt Peale, the operators rep.
r~esentative, could reconcile their
views.
John l.. Lewis, president of the
mine workers union, on the ground,
kept in close touch with the situation
but ~refrained from comment. 1t was
made apparent, however, that the or.
ganization would not move until the
president reached his determination
of the issue. Likewise the operators
representatives said they would wait.
Chairman Robinson has left Washing.
ton for his home in California, and
Mr.. Peale has returned to New York,
leaving Mr.. White the only member
on the ground.
The majority report recommends
that the men be given a rs per cent
increase in wages, including the Ia
per cent awarded them by former
Fuel Administrator Garfield, and that
the local differences in pay and al
lowances between different mining
districts be referred to another con
mittee. Mr.. White will recommend
that the increases be fixed at APP
proximately 80 per cent, it is under
stood. The only factor regarded as
serious in the differences is the hour
schedule. The original demand OF the
mine workers was for a thirty-hour
week, a 60 per cent increase in wages
and locak adjustment OF the differen.
tails arising in and between districts,
The failure of the majority to rec.
ommend improved working conditions
proved q disappointment to the min
ers. it was said, as this had been n
Of the chief demands of the men.

stitutional.

er.

crees denying the authority of congress

uary, 1916, as n stock dividend from

That conditions in the Imperial
Valley are as good, if not better, than
any place in the United States, is the
opinion expressed by travelling men
who have stopped in Ell Cnntro, Cal,
exico and Brawley within the past
few weeks.
In Kansas City, Chicago, Omaha
and other large eastern and mlddie'
west cities the condition is deploraple
thousands of men are out of employ
ment and the business houses nave
cancelled their previous orders anc
cut their buying in half and in third
it is said.
At the same time they contrast
these conditions with the valley, stat'
ing that while the market for cottor
has been completely wined ou'
through financial conditions whlcf
could not be overcome, buying in mer'
chandise lines has kept up at steady
gait. This condition, it VS. said, is
due to the careful watch of the mar
kets by local dealers, and they did not
have, when the break came, large
supply of old goods purchased at a
high figure. They kept even with
the board, buying only that which
was necessary and turning their
goods as often as possible. In doing
this they were forced to lose a good
profit that may have been realized, 1t
was pointed out At the same time
they are now making small margin
with goods purchased after the break
in price, while many coast stores are
forced to close their doors, being un-
able to meet demands that have fallen
due.
In the long run the "safe and sane
method has proved the more prosper
Gus to both the buyer and consumer
and now the public will profit by it.
