Mine Owners See Ruin
In l4% Wage Increase
Declare Proposed Scale WFill
Cut Their Profits TO Less
Than Per Cent

WASHINGTON, Feb. mime oper-
ators in the central competitive field
will "realize less than per cent net
return on the capital investment" If
the proposed IA per cent wage increase
is applied throughout 1920, represent
atives of the operators told the coal
strike settlement commission to-day,
basing statistics on net earnings for
1919.
Figures were introduced by the oper-
ators purporting to show that had the
IA per cent wage increase applied
through 1919 the mines of the Pitts
burgh Coal Producers Association,
which turned out Is per cent of the
output in the competitive field, would
have fallen sc 900 short of a per
cent return on capital invested.
Numerous figures were presented on
the average earnings Of miners. RAN
dom figures indicated that pick miners
earned $213.27 month of twenty-seven
days in thick vein fields and s20s.S4 in
thin vein fields. Instances were noted
where machine runners earned as high
as s12 and SIS a day in selected
months.
John L. Lewis, acting president of
the United Mine Workers, objected to
the figures. "The OPERATORS" he said,
NEGLECTED to say that the machine
runners worked ten. twelve and six
teen hours a day. These figures mean
nothing. The only fair way to ascertain
a mans earnings is to take his earn
ings for year."
