Make Statement

NEW YORK, Jan. 3o-Liquida-
ton OF the profits OF non-produc-
ing factors in the anthracite indus.
try would enable operators to re-
duce coal prices, grant wage in
creases to the miners and still
realize a fair margin Of profit,
says a statement made public here
by the tri-district executive board.
Of the United Mine Workers, Re.
duction of royalties paid to land
owners, cutting down Of freight
rates on coal, elimination or re.
duction of the profits Of sales
companies and the repeal of "un.
warranted coal tax laws which hit
the consumer and not the opera

The statement was made in re-
ply to mine owners associations
that the proposed 20 percent wage
advance would mean higher coal
prices to the public in that mine
costs would be increased $1,30 a
ton. The workers declared it would
not take more than 80 cents a ton
TO absorb the wage increase and
filed statistics submitted by one
rators to the United States An.
