MINERS KICK
ATCOAL RAISE
Say New Wages Swell Pro-
ductiOn Cost Only so Cents.

NEW YORK, April 2.-The increase
from 60 cents to $3.50 a ton in the price
of coal, just announced by the operators
as the result of the q per cent raise
In wages effective yesterday, is not justi-
fed by the higher pay to miners, accord
ing to Ellis SearIes of Indianapolis, edi-
tor Of the United Mine Workers Journal
The increase in cost of production, he
declared, could not exceed 10 or 80 cents
a ton and in behalf of the miners he
discIaimed responsibility for the advances
announced by operators.
The statement to this effect was is
sued by Mr.. Searles after a conference
last night with union officials, still gath
cred here following the joint meeting Of
operators and miners at which the new
wage agreement was ratified.
when Fuel Administrator Garfield
granted the miners 4 Il per cent in
crease in wages last fall" Searles de
clared. 'he said the II per cent could
and should be absorbed by the oper-
ators, and that they could afford to pay
it out Of their profits.
But the operators did not pay the In
crease out Of their profits.
Instead, they passed the increase on
to the public on at least so TO 80 per
cent of the coal, by increasing their sell
ing price
ssThe present increase in wages adds
Is per cent to the pay of the miners
above the If per cent granted by Gar
field.
IF Garfield was right in saying they
could absorb and pay the II per cent out
of their profits, then they certainly can at
least absorb the Is per uent now
instead Of passing it on to the public.
1.-The wage increase was p per cent
This means that the increase in the
cost of production can not exceed 10 to
80 cents a ton.
Then why should the operators boost
the price SIPS or $50 ton, even if they
PASS all Of the increase on TO the public
IF the operators make an unreason-
able or unnecessary increase in the price
OF coal, the miners want the public &c
know that they are not responsible
for it"
Union officials asserted that any IN
justified advance of prices would cause
serious dissatisfaction and unrest among
miners
Leaders Of the mine workers declared
that the twO-year agreement would be
carried out ito the letter" but predicted
that they would face difficulty because OF
the proposed price advance.

making this prediction today, gave it as
his opinion that the minority of service
men who have committed themselves on
the proposal have not studied it's merits
and have not thought of the economic
evils growing out of such a vast ex-
penditure.
IF the service men knew of the heavier
burdens added 20 the high cost OF living
which this bonus would impose they
would reject 1t fatty" he said.

1.-The trouble is they have not studied
the plan in detail or have not been ad-
vised how it Will react upon their fami-
lies and neighbors."
Experts estimate that the bonus money,
If authorized, would be more than dou-
bled as an expense item for the Ameri-
can people, as it would further initiate
credit, aggravate the vicious ciTcles OF
high prices and add in other ways to the
tax burdens.
