New York, April 1-Ellis Searles, speaking in behalf of the United Mine Workers of America, declared tonight that the 27 per cent. wage increase just granted bituninous mine work CTS does not justify the price of 65 cents to $1.50 a ton which operators have announced will have to be made. He added that she increase in cost of production could not exceed 40 to 50 cents a ton and he disclaimed re- sponsibility on the part of the work CTS for the price advances.
 Union officials, still gathered ehere today after yesterdays meeting at which Ahe new wage agreement was the wage increase and the announced intention of mine owners to advance prices. It was after this informal conference that Mir. Searles issued the following statement:
 When Fuel Administrator Garfield granted the miners 14 per cent. in crease in wages last fall. he said the IA per cent. could and should be ab- sorbed by the operators, and that they ceElS afford to pay it out of their profits. But the operators did not pay the increase out of their profits. Instead, they passed the increase on 10 lNe puDllC On dI 16aSt oU lO SU per cent. of the coal by increasing their selling price.
 "The present increase in wages adds 13 per cent. to the pay of the miners above the IA per cent. granted by Garfield. If Garfield was right in saying they could absorb and pay the 14 per cent. out of their profits, then they certainly can at least absorb the 13 per cent. now instead of passing it on to the public.
 'sWe see operators quoted in the newspapers as saying they will ad- vance the price of coal s1.25 to s1.5c ton because of the increase in wag es granted to the miners. Such an in- crease would not be justified by the
 ncrease in wages.
 The wage increase was 27 per cent. This means that the increase n the-ees of production cannot ex- ceed 40 to 50 cents ton. Then, why should the operators boost the price s1.25> or s1.5O a ton, even if they pass

DEFER ACTION
ON SCHOOL BIDS
County Board of instruction
Finds 1t Has insufficient
Funds to Erect Building

After much discussion on the award
ing of contract to erect the new
high school building, the board Of
public instruction, at a meeting last
night, decided to obtain public senti-
ment on the floating of bonds to
finance the proposition before letting
out the contract. A committee Of the
board will appear before the civic or
CARNATIONS some time this week and
seek their cooperation to proceed
with awarding of the contract with a
view of having the endorsement of
these bodies should it be necessary to
hold a special bond election.
While the erection of the new high
school building occupied considerable
of the discussion, the members also
considered the needs of the other pub
lie schools of the city.
The new high school project was
considered from various angles. 1t
was decided to secure public senti-
ment as soon as possible on the mat
ter, as the cost Of materials were
mounting higher every day. In order
to put the educational facilities in
first-cla condition, it was deemed
necessary that a sum of about 100000
would be required. There was some
debate on substituting brick tile for
concrete in the walls of the high school
building but no decision was made.
About eighteen more rooms were
needed next year for the children in
public schools. These schools are so
congested now, it was reported, that
twelve teachers are compelled to hold
classes in ten rooms. This shows that
Pensacola is badly in need OF more
educational facilities.
The board will meet Friday night at
Z o'clock, when it is probable that the
contract for the new high school
building will be awarded.
Bids for the new high school build
ing were opened at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. Judge Beggs was the
only members of the board present,
and he asked the bidders if 1t would
be agreeable to them to open the plds
but take no action, to which proceed
ure they readily agreed.
Rids were as follows: For the
building complete, c.. H. Turner Con-
str,,ction Co. s2S6994; Selden Brick
Co. of ST. Louis, s374000; S. l.. Fulg-

FINAL CAMPAIGN
EFF0RTPLANNED
Active Backers of Service Fund
Drive Are Optimistic Con-
corning Outcome.
WOMEN TO FURTHER AID
Some Striking Phases and Needs
of Community Service Are
Pointed Out.

Detail plans for putting over the
local Community Service fund drive
during the current week are being per-
fected by the committee in charge,
who express positive confidence in the
effort. In this connection it was also
announced last night that the commit
tee of women and girls who made
Pencil Day" so gratifying a success
have offered furter aid in the cam
paign and that arrangements are be-
ing made to avail the offer
Speaking of accomplishments Of
Community Service, what it means to
Pensacola-what has been done and is
yet to be done-for the benefit of
be here from time to time "a member
of the committe says:
Didn't it make you thrill to see the
e. 1. on the international screen, and
the navy plane doing all sorts of nose
dives over Pensacola bay, and know
that these pictures will be shown all
over the u. S. And didn't you feel the
thrill when Lieutenant Commander
Reid and the other NC boats COM
manded and manned by aviators
trained at our air station, made the
first start across the Atlantic ocean;
and when the NC-4 successfully
landed? And when the thousands of
coast artillerymen trained here. We're
put into heavy artillery and thrown
into the battle area in France ready to
go into the battle on the Meuse?
Pensacola is proud of the fact that
her citizens assisted the secretaries of
war and navy to carry out their pro-
gram for the entertainment of the men
stationed here, and to make possible
the results obtained. These men and
women Were. all volunteers, and they
received a written honorable discharge
from the w. c. C. S. for their splen-
did efforts.
MANY of them are still further vol
unteering their services, as there is
a further need here
Community Service is a fact al
ready. Among the service men who
had liberty Saturday and over Sunday
68 slept at the Community center one
night, and during the day they come
and go, playing games, reading or
writing. 1t is also ready for the much
larger number of men that are expect
ed when the destroyed fleet reaches
here in a few weeks
The American Legion's executive
committee also held ITS meeting here
last night, this being one of the func-
tions of Community Service The
whole program will receive very care
full planning, first by the large COM
mittee, then acted upon by the execu-
tive committee. and it is believed that
everyone in Pensacola will soon see
the great benefits of Community Serv-
ice"

MANY INJURED
IN FRISCO FIRE
Explosion Handicaps Firemen
at Burning of Eighty-Five
Apartment Houses

San Francisco. Feb. 9-Only one life
was known definitely today to have
been lost in q fire that destroyed the
fashionable Berkshire apartment house
at Suttcr end Jones streets early to-
day. \ search of the ruined build
ing revealed no additional bodies. y
score OF persons are in various hos
pitfalls. however, suffering from burns
and injuries.
Before squads Of firemen and police
men entered the building at daybreak
to search for bodies, it was believed
more than a score of persons had been
burned to death. The body found was
that of an elderly woman, but it was
so badly burned that identification was
not possible.
Most of those taken to hospitals We're
women. Some suffered from severe
burns, while others leaped from Win
dows and fire escape balconies.
The fire bzrOke out in hall on the
third floor, how neither police nor fire
departments could say.
The first alarm was turned in short
N after midnight and three others IN
rapid succession called out almost the
entire fire fighting force Policemen
said when they arrived those of the
$50 persons who lived on the lower
floors were streaming into the streets,
many clad only in night clothes while
more than a score of persons on the
upper floors were clinging to window
ledgcs, trapped by the rapid spread OF
the flames.
The fire departments ladders would
reach only the fourth floor windows
and from these number of persons
were taken, firemen carrying them
down the ladders.
An explosion, apparently on the
fourth floor. blew out part of the up
per wall. handicapping the fire fight
ing and rescue work.
Within half an hour after the first
alarm the fire had pierced the roof and
its glare lighted the streets for blocks.
shortly afterwards the roof collapsed.
