MINERS WAGE SCALE

Both miners and operators have
accepted the ~ per cent wage in
crease awarded by the presidents
coal commission and q committee
has been appointed to carry on lego
tiations for q new general contract.
The 81 per cent includes the IA Der
cent previously awarded through Coal
A Administrator Garfield, and the new
agreement thus means only Is per
cent more than was offered and tenn
porarily accepted under threat of
imprisonment last December.
A humorous feature of the occa-
sion was an announcement to the
dear public" by the operators that
while they desired ITO keep the price
Of coal rs low AZ possible and to
avoid speculation in the product of
the mines" they; would have to have
from 65 cents to $l.25 u ton more
for coal ut the mine. This desire for
low prices must have been recently
acquired by these gentlemen, for dur
ing the war official figures show they
took profits of from Is to 1000 per
cent 4 year, and only a few of the
little fellows were as low as Is per
cent. That they could pay the pres
ent wage increase and substantially
reduce prices to the consumers if
they confined themselves to a fair re-
turn on investment is u mild state
ment of the case.

BAKHMErEFF FEARS OFFICERS

DAMN T. Eff r FEARS OfflNEhS
Boris Bakhmeteff, supreme ruler of
the old Russian empire, which still
exists, by grace Of our state depart
ment, in a three-story yellow brick
embassy building on Sixteenth street
in this city, is a very worried man.
Three thousand czarist officers of
the late Kolchak army are on their
way from Vlsdivostock, and they
want q reckoning with Boris. They
have blood in their eyes when they
think of what he has done to them.
He feels that they will be unpleasant
to him If he ever meets them again.
And rs = matter Of precaution he is
asking that these anti-Bolshevik off,
GERS be refused admission to tho
United States!
In rough outline the story is this:
Rakhnaetef, upon the collapse Of the
Aerensly regime, got permission OF
Secretary lansing to hold and to use
the $3.50 100000 loan made to Russia
through him. Then he cabled large
sums to the imperial Russian embas-
sizes in Paris, London, Rome, Madrid.
and other capitals, after getting as
surances that he was to be obeyed in
all things. Next he picked up Kol-
chak, who had just taken a job from
the British navy in the Mediterran-
can, and sent him to Siberia to seize
power and fight for q restoration of
order." To support this war be
trained small groups as officers and
sent to Siberia more than 5000 Rus

report recommending unseating them.
Seven of the committee of Is voted
for the majority report. The legisla-
ture is expected to act on the mat
ter shortly.
Those who held minority opinions
appeared to believe that while the
point that the Socialists had offered
no aid in the recent war and thus
took what might be termed a disloy-
al position, had been proven, the as
! sembly had not right to set loyalty
as a test Of eligibility for its MEM

Widespread interest has been
aroused in the case, for not only So
cialist but many conservative ele.
ments have considered it test as K
whether America is going to con.
tinue to allow all citizens to ex.
press themselves through the bal.
lot. Charles Evans Hughes, Repub
lican candidate for president in 1916
is among those who have been stronf
in denouncing the suspension Of tn
Socialist assemblymen.
On the other hand, the extremists
more radical than the Socialists, hop
that the five Socialists will be ex
PEELED because that will strengthen
their argument that political actiol
is Of no use to the workingman.
