CONCLUSIONS DIFFER A s PRESENTED BY
 MINERS AND OWNERS
H Per Cent Advance Makes Miner Highest Paid Laborer, Says Rose--Can't Make Liv-
 ing, Says Bitner
Nv Associated Pres,


 Washington, January 27.-Coal min f1icting conclusions on the subject of wages in the industry at the resump- tion of hearings today by the coal strike settlement commission.
 Don Rose of Pittsburg, a spokesman for operators in the Freeport field, asserted that the IA per cent increase already granted gave the miners a porential power greater than that of any other class of American labor De- mands for more pay for. explosives and mine lights, and abolition of duties in connection with moving loaded coal cars and excavating working spaces underground, were characterized by MT Ross as attempts to get further ad vances by indirect methods.
 Presenting statistics Van H. Bitt- ner, statistician for the United Mine Workers of America, told the commits sion that in present purchasing power the pay of miners was 35 to 40 per cent lower than pre-war standards and in- sufficient to maintain the standards of living. Such conditions, he added, had obtained throughout the actual war period. although the net profits of op- orators had increased grossly out of proportion to the cost of operation.'
 OV-HOOR W E<Ekh INIT OSODlLc
 Tonnage rates paid miners for get ting out coal, Rose said. covered all of the miners supplementary demands. The, 3o-hour week proposal presented by the mine workers, Rose stamped as utterly impossible.
 During the discussion the representa- tive of the operators suggested that the 30-hour week was "un- American, n,' thereby arousing the ire of John L.. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers.
 T do not intend to remain quiet while this challenge of our American- ism is repeated by operators counsel," Mir. Lewis declared. addressing the com mission. The mine workers yield to no one in their allegiance to- American institutions, government, and flag. These attacks are not germaine to the matter under consideration, and we do not propose to be tried on charges be- fore this tribunal at the whim of any individual" ,
 President Robinson of the commits sion ruled afterward that advocates on both sides should refrain from person. alties but commented that the com mission had been pleased by the mod eration shown to date
 Summarizing figures prepared for the war labor board, Bittner said that family income today sufficient to meet bare cost of living should be $2243. The figures on the operators profits, he as- serted. demonstrated that wages could be advanced without increasing coal tomorrow.
