1res Of miners earnings presented by
operators yesterday questioning their
dependabilisy.
The operators themselves, Mr.. Lew
is said, in submitting these earnings
statistics have produced evidence that
overwhe elmingly support our conten-
uons that miners wages are pitiably
inadequate.
In submitting statistics on the earn.
ings for 1913 of representative bitus
minous mines producing more, than
thirty per cent of the total output in

OTIS told the coal strike settlement
commission yesterday that IL the pres,
ent fourteen per cent wage increase
were applied throughout the year
1920. these companies. on a basis OF
their 1913 tonnage would realize less
than one per cent net return on the
capital investment. ANY increase in
wages above that amount, they declar.
ed, would mean corresponding to a
deficit below the recognized equit-
able return OF six per, cent.
Earnings OF bituminous mine opera,

and other Industrial enterprises dur.

the war, and the fourth year Of its
duration, were read into the records

RED CROSS WANTS
HEALTH Law OBEYED
Committee Will Call Upon
City Authorities About

The failure of town and county
health authorities to more strictly en-
force quarantine regulations and laws
was severely raped by the Executive
committee of the local chapter of the
American Red Cross at meeting
held last evening IN the Court house.
The matter was discussed pro and
con and many instances we're cited
where persons in a family where con-
tagious dfseases were prevalent were
allowed toiattend school, church and
otherwise mix with gatherings OF
people, thereby facilitating the spread
of the disease. To this end a commit
tee was appointed who will visit the
city and county health authorities
and endeayor to secure their cooper
alton in enforcing rigidly the quaran-
tine laws governing contagious dis
eases. The committee is composed
of Mesdames w. T. Hartman, S. D.
Brady, Joseph Roster and Miss Gladys
Winfield.
Mrs. Edwin Forrest Hartley was
made chairman of the home nursing
department TO fill the place made va
cant by the resignation of Mrs. C. o.
Henry, who was forced to give up the
work which she had handled most
efficiently on account of i'll health.
Another matter that was variousIy
discussed at the meeting last night
was the failure of doctors TO record
births and OF undertakers to record
death certificates. which makes it ex-
ceedingly difficult for the organiza-
tion to secure data when trying TO
trace child's birth or the birth or
death of a soldier or his beneficiaries.
The state laws are strict regarding
these vital statistics, but some of the
physicians and undertakers are said
to be very lax in keeping the laws in
this regard.
The reports of M. L. Brown, treas
urer, and Mrs. w. T. Hartman, chair
man of the Nursing service, were
heard at this meeting. Mrs. S. D.
Brady also reported for the Home SER
vice department.
President John Henshaw presided
at the sessions, assisted by Mrs. Jo-
seph Roster, secretary.
