Kansas City. Mo-, March 1s.-A
wage reduction Of probably so per
cent In tho present scale for miners
of the southwest is being considered
by members Of the newly organized
trans Mississippi district Association
of Coal Operators, according TO a
statement here today by Harry N
Taylor, chairman OF the association.
No definite scale has been decided
upon. Mr.. Taylor said, but in order
to bring the price of coal down TO a
peace time basis, the operators can
not afford TO pay the miners war time
wages"
The contemplated reduction, he add
ed. would leave the basic wage scale
higher than the one in effect before
the government took over the mines.
