Little anxiety over the situation is
expressed by the miners representa-
tivcs. They feel they arc in strate-
giral position. With the contracts
of both tho anthracite and bitumi-
nous miners expiring at the end OF
the month, they believe they can
stand pat" and force the operators
to give the terms they ask. IT no
contracts exist and the men simply
refuse to work under the terms Of
fered them. the Lever act cannot
again be used against them, it was
pointed out.
Miners FONT to II. e. T..
Figures produced before the coal
commission by all sides show the
miners entitled to something like an
increase of 81 per cent in wages,
spoltesnien or the miners claimed to
day. Since President Wilson's in
sIructions were that the commission
should figure wage increases on the
basis of a decent STANDARD OF living,
they declared that, If White recon-
mended 80 per cent increase it
would not be unreasonable. in view
of the fact that the cost of living has
increased per cent since the figures
considered by the commission were
compiled.
Commenting on the dispatches from
Indianapolis that the grand jury call
cd by Judge Anderson had returned
indictments against l25 miners, off,
cials and operators, John Lewis said
