An interesting comparison OF the
labor cost Of producing anthracite
coal is afforded by the accompanying
diagram which is based on govern
ment records.
Il will be noted that excepting the
two war years, 1917 and 1918, the
output of anthracite has steadily de-
creased, although the trend Of wages
has been consistently upward during
the last eight years.
Labor Cost Incredses from sI-5e to
s5.S5 Ton
In other words, where in 1918 II
cost Sll3,320,O0O for labor alone to
produce 7l.046,sl6 tons of anthracite,
OF Sl5e ton, in 1920, the labor cost
10 produce 65,45s,673 tons-5,5ss,l+3
tons less than in 1sI3-was S252, 49,
900, or 1885 a ton, an increase Of l4l
per cent.
These figures are based on com
mercial fresh-mined coal. Colliery
consumption and washery or dredge
product are not included.
Anthracite producers believe that
mine workers should receive liberal
compensation, but they recognize the
fact that the price OF coal must be
reduced In line with the downward

ties. Labor now absorbs 10 per cent
OF the cost OF producing anthracite.
The present wage agreement, which
is based on the award Of the United
States Anthracite Coal Commission
does not expire until March 81, 1922.
Wager Must Come Dorm to Permit
Lo1cer Coal Pricss
Until wages are lowered, a reduc-
tion in the mine price of anthracite is
impossible.
It is not a question Of the operators
accepting a smaller profit. II those
producers who are making any profit
at present were to forego their entire
net return, the effect on the mine
price Of coal would be negligible.
Leading officials Of the miners
union have indicated opposition to
any decrease in wages at the ex-
piration of the contract. Anthracite
producers however, feel that the
question Of a readjustment OF mine
wages will be determined by the
opinion Of the public, which has a
vital interest in the matter.
Should there be no such wage nc
adjustment as has occurred in other
basic industries, IL would mean that
the public must continue to pay the
present prices for coal.
