HARD COAL men
WANT INCREASE
Miners Proposed
Scale Demands Fifty Per-
cent Advance in Wages.

Philadelphia, Feb. 29.-Demands for
a so per cent increase in wages for
contract miners. $500 a day raise for
day men, and a six-hour day and a
five day week for men paid by the day
or month, will be presented to the
anthracite coal operators in New York
on March by the union representa-
tives of the hard coal diggers. These
demands were formulated at a con-
vention of the anthracite miners in
Wilkes Barre last August and rati-
fled by the national convention of the
United Mine Workers of America in
Cleveland in September.
The conference of operators and
mine workers next month will en-
deavor TO negotiate a new agreement
to take She place of the contract now
in force.
The present general wage agree
ment covering the anthracite industry
was entered into in May, 1916, for
four years ending March 81, this year.
Because of war conditions, wages have
been since re- e-adjusted by supplemental
agreements between the miners and
operators.
About 17o, 900 mine workers will be
affected by the new contract to be
negotiated. The miners scale commit
tee which will meet the operators will
be composed of the officers and ex-
ecutive board members OF the three
districts comprising the anthracite
fields, the national board members in
tho hard coal regions, and three m.ne
workers from each district. NO an
noancement has been made as 10 the
number OF men who will represent the
coal mine owners. It IS expected, how
ever, that after the demands are
formally presented and views are ex-
changed between the two sides, a
small ub-commitlse viii be named
20 carry on the actual negotiations.
When in final form the agreement
will be presented TO the full commit
tee for adoption. In the case or ,ne
miners, the agreement will have TO go
back to a convention OF the mine work
ers for ratification.

SHIPYARD HAS
COMPLETE CREW
Strike Forced Officials to Hurry
Arrangements to Operate
With Small Force.
HAD PLANNED BIG CUT
Although Positions Are Open to
All Only Few of Men Now
Out Could Be Kept.

The strike at the plant of the Pen
sacola Shipbuilding Co. is ended so
far as plant officials are concerned,
ii was announced last night. Enough
men have returned to the yard TO
permit operations to continue with
efficiency. 1t was stated and only
enough men will be placed from now
on. to fiji deficiencies in certain crafts.
This position, plant officials an
nounce, is not a lockout on their part,
because all the men who are now out
will will be free to return If they want
to, but drastic cut in the operating
force of the yard was under contem-
plation at the time the strike was
called and the necessity Of conforming
to strike conditions forced the plant.
to retrench in several ways. thus
meeting the cut situation earlier than
had been expected.
From now on. the yard will operate
with n force of not over 1900 men.
and approximately that number are
now employed, it was said yesterday.
When pressed for n definite statement.
plant officials agreed that some crafts
We're badly depleted and would have
to be built up to strength but il was
said that arrangements to do so had
been completed.
The conference between plant Off
cials and the labor leaders will be
held this morning as scheduled. Capt.
Stewart said when asked about 1t. add
ing the. gate is always open and
am ready to listen to all grievances.
In this particular case. however. the
men have settled the trouble them
selves by returning to work"
Two weeks ago the operating force
of the shipbuilding plant was approx
mately 1900 men and the announce
ment yesterday that from now on it
will be held at 1900 or below, means
that 500 men who were working when
the strike was called February 10 are
now permanently out of jobs so far as
the shipyard is concerned.

Tourists prominent in national af-

deep water port. The hotel accom-

Not Guaranteed Against Loss in
Esch- -Cummins Bill But Pro-
tected, Says Banker.
MUST INCREASE RATES
New Capital Cannot Be Obtain
ed Until Roads Become Self
Supporting Sisson Says.
BY FRANCIS n. SlSSoN.
Vice President of the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York.

New York, Feb. 29.-The 900
railway stocks and the millions of
thrifty citizen who have their saw
ings in banks and insurance compa-
nies invested in railroad stocks and
bonds, are not guaranteed against loss
by the new railroad bill, but they are
assured of a large measure of protec-
ton.
A careful reading of the new rail-
road law makes it plain that it is the
purpose of congress to encourage the
investment of new railroad capital by
giving a fair deal to the nearly $780,
900. 900. 900 of capital that has thus far
been devoted to the upbuilding of our
transportation system.
Hundreds of niillions-yes billions
-of new funds must be put into rail-
road building if our industrial growth
is not to be stunted by a failure to
provide adequate transportation IA
cilities. This now capital can only
come from the savings of thrifty in
vestors and these savings can only
be attracted by making railroad in
vestments attractive.
There is no Aladdin's lamp that
can be rubbed to bring forth the dol
lars needed to build railroads. Bank
ers have no magic touch whereby they
can bring dollars out of their vaults
for the development of the country.
Banking institutions are merely a part
of the machinery whereby the savings
of millions of people are collected for
the upbuilding of the country.
If the new law makes it possible
to provide this flow of new capital
for railroad upbuilding, it will be one
Of the most constructive measures
ever placed upon the statute books.
The railroad industry today is not
self f-supporting, because two years OF
government control has resulted in an
increase in expenses far beyond the
increase in revenues. The increased
cost of operation is very largely the
result OF the great rise in prices for
labor and materials. The first task
of the government under the new rail-
road law will be to readjust railroad
rates to provide for this increased cost
so that the railroads will be seif-sup-
porting Until they are self-support-
ing, it will not be possible to attract
new investment capital for them.

Stephens lost his life by rock striking his temple while at work in a mine last Friday near Camp Verde, while at Walker about three year sago Mir. Carlston also was instantly killed by a slip in the formation, the fatal wound being to his left temple. The sorrow of one sister is equally shared by the other. and the strange coincidence of death to burden each is the strange action of fate only.

 The president in letters to demo- cratic leaders earlier in the day asked that action be withheld so the party's stand might be left to its national convention.
 The rejection of the presidents appeal was double in its scope, for before declaring against military training the caucus rejected SS to g a proposal that all action on the question be deferred at this time.

 Suspending its rules by a bi-parti- san majority of 7 to l, and virtually without debate, the senate reconsid- cred in short order the action by which the ratification failed on No vember l9, and then as a matter of formality sent the treaty to the for eign relations committee, with in- structions to report it back at once with the reservations framed by the at the last session of congress.
 The committee expects to act to- morrow, but it was announced to- night that Senator Lodge would ask that its report be not taken up for consideration until next week.
 Urgent legislative matters, it was said, including appropriations and tariff legislation, were expected toi occupy the senate's time in the inter val.

 He said he would not be delegate himself, that he was not financing of making any candidate for the pres idency and would vote for the man who best represents good govern ment.
