Miners HAND is CALLED
BY THE WHITE HOUSE
Chief Executive Approves Report
Granting Wage Increase
of $85 100000.
WORK ERS WANT MORE
Expect You to Accept the Award and
Carry it Into Effect" Says Presi-
dent.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-President
Wilson today approved the majority
report Of the anthracite coal commits
sion, awarding anthracite miners
wage increases aggregating $85, ,OOO,-
600 and notified the miners that he
expected them TO accept the, award
and carry it into effect in good faith"
Replying to threats from the miners
that they would stop work September
! unless the minority report of the
commission, recommending a higher
award than provided in the majority,
were accepted, the President stated
definitely that the majority award
would not be set aside.
The majority report of the commits
sion granted wage increases Of 20 and
II per cent above the present wage
scale. The 20 per cent wage increase
was awarded contract miners and the
advance of II per cent was recon-
mcndcd for company miners3 monthly
men, miners laborers and consider
aIiOn miners.
The minority report, recommended
a minimum wage of six dollars a day
for adult day laborers and an increase
of 81 per cent for contract workers.
Agreed to Accept Decision.
In refusing the request Of the
miners for acceptance of the minority
report, as made in telegram sent
through their local representatives,
the President called attention to a
resolution adopted by the miners in
convention agreeing to accept the find
| ings of such commission as he ap-
pointed.
"By all the laws of honor which
civilization rests" the President in his
| telegram to the miners added, chat
pledge should be fulfilled. Any init
nation that the anthracite mine work
crs will refuse to work under the
award because it does not grant them
all that they expected is a reflection
upon the sincerity of the men who
constitute the backbone of the com
munity in which they live"
The President further told the
miners that if their communication
was meant as a threat they could rest
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-09-01

assured that the challenge would be
accepted and that the people of the
country would find Some substitute
fuel to tide them over "until the real
sentiment of the anthracite mine
workers can find expression and they
are ready to abide by the obligations
they have entered into"
Meeting is Called.
Immediately upon announcement
from the White House that the Presi-
dent had approved the majority report.
Secretary of Labor Wilson at the di
rection Of the President, issued call
for meeting Thursday at Scranton
of the joint anthracite coal companies
of operators and United Mine Workers
of America for the purpose of writing
the terms of the award into a contract
to he effective until Marcn 81, 1922.
The wage increases recommended
by the majority will amount to an an
nua! increase on back pay, accumu-
lated since last April /.
Interest of the general public in the
award centered largely in the effect of
the increases in wages on the price
of hard COAL Taking cognizance of
this the commission said that while
making substantial improvement in
the situation Of the miners, it had tried
to be conservative and had declined

try fair return on the value Of their
property devoted to TRANSPORTATION
purposes, and, for the two years fol-
lowing the passage of the act set the
reasonable return" at 5 1-2 per cent
with another 12 per cent to be de-
voted to improvements at the option
of the commission" a railroad man
said yesterday.
"Some persons have gotten the idea
that the transportation act guarantees
the railway companies 6 per cent on
their stocks and bonds. The fact is
that the act says nothing about any
return on capitalization and no rail
way is guaranteed anything, The vol
ume of stocks and bonds which any
railway company may have outstand-
ing will have absolutely no effect on
the return it will receive.
While the act makes it the duty
of the commission to authorize rates
which will give the railways of each
section an aggregate fair return on
the aggregate value of their property,
there is no assurance that any individ-
ual railway will get a return of 6
per cent on the value of it's property,
or any return at all. What it will
get will depend On the business it Sc
cures and the efficiency with which
that business is handled.
Under the new rates, if a railway
earns more than G per cent it must
divide the surplus with the govern
ment; if it earns less than Der cent
or earns nothing at all the loss falls
on it's owners"

IS VIM. KUCKKU
ALIVE?
Tacoma Paper Contains News of His
Arrival in New York.

Is William H. Kukku alive? or has
another soldier bearing the same
name been mistaken for him? That
is the question that has been discus
sed quite generally about town the
past week.
A couple of weeks ago a dispatch
from New York in Tacor paper
announced the arrival in New York
Of W. H. Kukku of Emmett. Idaho,
soldier released from a German
prison."
Little credence is given the story.
Our William Kukku was reported
killed in action in France, and his
death was attested by both the war
department and the Red Cross In
addition to that, his relatives here
have received photo of his grave
and a memorial certificate from
war department. There were four
soldiers from Idaho who bore that
name, even to the initials, beside the
Emmett man. One of them was killed
in the early days of the war.

A Curious Emit

Mrs. Joseph Helfert received today
from her father, Francis Moore of
Los Angeles, Calf, specimen of
fruit, the Spanish name of which Joe
can't spell and which the telephone
wires couldn't carry. Joe says it is
plum or q pear, but it looks like q
common gourd to US. But they are
not so common rs gourds, Joe tells us,
being the highest priced fruit known,
selling At from rs cents to $50 each.
and they are not any larger than a
medium sized pear. They were pick
ed from a tree in Mr. Moore's yard
1t is no uncommon occurrence for the
yield of one tree to be worth $1,000.
We would like to have couple Of
trees, and then we'd play pinochle all
the time when we were not following
Ed Hayes around in his hunting and
fishing expeditions.

The prime object is to get the correct

wonderful inventions.
