COAL PRICE
JUMP UNJUST
SAY MINERS
Workers Official Claim Oper-
ators Are Exacting Ex-
cess Profits.

ny Associated Press:
NEW YORK, April /. - Ellis
Searles. speaking on behalf OF the
United Mine Workers Of America.
declared Thursday night that the %
percent wage increase Just granted
bituminous mine workers does not
Justify the price increases OF So
cents TO $3.50 a ton which opera
tors have announced will have 20
be made. lie added that the in
crease in cost Of production could
not exceed 40 20 so cents a ton and
disclaimed responsibility on the part
of the workers for the proposed
price advance
Union officials, still gathered here
Thursday after Wednesdays meet
ing at vSliCh the new wage agree
ment was ratified. conferred on the
effects Of the wage increase and the
announced intention OF mine own
ers 10 advance prices.
issues Statement.
II was after this informal CON
ference that Mr.. Searles issued the
following statement: when Fuel
Administrator Garfield granted the
ges last fan he said the u percent
could and should be absorbed BY
the operators and that they could
afford to pay il out a their profits.
But the operators did not pay the
increase out OF their profits. Instead.
public on at least so or 80 per
tors continue to exact excess profits
cent Of the coal by increasing their
selling price.
The present increase in wages
adds l. percent TO the pay OF the
miners above the II percent grant
ed By Garfield. II Garfield was right
in saying they could absorb and
pay the Il percent out Of Gleir
profits, then they certainly eaR-at
least absorb the 4 percent now in
stead of passing II on TO the public.
Operators Quoted.
We see operators quoted in the
as saying they will ad-
vance the price of coal $1.25 10 $3.50
a ton because of the increase in wa
ges granted 10 the miners. Such an
Increase would not be justified by
the increase In wages.
The wage increase was % per-
cent. This means that the increase
in the cost OF production cannot eX-
coed 40 to so cents a ton. Then
why should the operators boost the
price 1925 TO $3.50 a ton, even If
they pass all Of the increase on to
the public?
IF the operators make an unrea-
or unnecessary increase in
the price of coal. the miners want
the public 20 know that they are not
for it"
Cause Unrest
Union officials asserted that any
unjust advance in prices would
cause serious dissatisfaction and un-
rest among miners.
There will never be peace in the
coal industry as long as the opera
tors continue TO exact excess profits
from the public on the grounds that
they are meeting a wage advance
10 the miners" said a union official.
The operators refuse 10 go back 10
the pre-war days of legitimate prof
it's. They insist on continuing the
practice of exacting enormous prof
it's and as long as they Go this the
miners will not be satisfied.
