Want to Keep Wages Hiph


Wages stand today at the last point
and the organization is insisting that
they remain $3.50 DAY. The opera
tors have announced cut of 40 per
cent beginning April 1.
For the miners 1t Is pointed out that
employment in mining is very irregular
and that earnings even at $3.50 a day
are very small. This IS doubtless true,
for with industry inactive as at pres.
ent there is little demand for coal, and
the unionized mine and the unionized
worker are brought into competition with
the non -uniOnized mine and non union
worker. whose wages are only $3.50
day. Most consumers Of coal who are
not bound by contracts are purchasing
of the non union mines, which can pro-
duce at lower costs.
For the operators it is said that min.
ers would have more employment and
actually earn more money If union
wages We're cut to the level of non -.
union wages and the price of coal could
be cOrrespondingly reduced.
Actually the operators see IN Oppor-
tunity to end the national agreements in
the coal fields and perhaps break the
union. and if their figures are correct
they are probably right. The consump.
ton of coal is put at 1900. 900 tons
per week Thirty per cent of the coal
industry is not uniOnized. and the esti-
mate is that the non union mines can
produce 5000. 900 tons of coal per week,
two.thirds of what is being consumed.
No Shortage for Four Months
There is in storage 45,OOO,OOO to
80. .OO.OOO tons. enough to make up the !
difference between consumption and
non n-union production for about four ,
months, so that there would be no |
actual coal shortage in four months.
Public opinion. the operators believe.
will NOT support the miners in their
refusal to accept n cut in wages. The
Government, which usually intervenes
in coal strikes and causes arbitration
which invariably leads to a compromise
will, this time. the operators believe.
keep it's hands off.
The conservative leaders of the
United Mine Workers are as we'll aware
of these adverse conditions as are the
be expected to lead to moderation. But
it is thought doubtful whether Presi.
dent Lewis can control his followers.
Many of the State leaders of the Or
ganization are radical. Lewis has n

Favorably Report zap Treaty
Almost coincident with the arrival of
the Presidents letter at the Senate the
Foreign Relations Committee BY a vote
OF 10 to l ordered favorably reported
the treaty between the United States
and Japan regarding the Island of Yap.
The action followed two hour de-
bate in the committee. and was taken
after several Republican and Demo-
cratic Senators had indicated they
would favor reporting the treaty to the
senate, but reserved the right to further
discuss it on the floor. The single
negative vote was cast by Senator Pitt
man, Democrat, Nevada.
Committee consideration of the yam
treaty centered about the question of
now great measure of control over the
FORMER German island would be given to
Japan by American recognition of the
Japanese mandate over it. Some Re-
publicans as well as Democrats indi
"ated a fear that the mandate power
might infringe upon American rights
ussp1te the treaty provisions.
F.. Argument . Legal One
1t was said the argument was largely
q legal one. i'll which the scope of man
1late regulations was reviewed at length. |
Those who voted to report the treaty
were Senators Lodge. McCumber, Kel.
1ogg, Brandegee, Borah. Johnson. New !,
and Wadsworth. Republicans, and Will !
!iams and Pomerene. Democrats.
Among the absentees Senators Hitch
COCK, Democrat. and Mccormick and
Moses. Republicans. were said to have
Indicated previously that they would !
vote for favorable committee action.
Ihe decision to act on the Yap treaty
ahead of the others negotiated during
the Washington Conference was reach
ed, the leaders said, because it was not |
regarded as forming part of the Con.
ference series. 1t was drawn up outside |
the Conference proper and was signed
after the Conference adjourned
No agreement was reached as to date
for consideration of the treaty on tho .
Senate floor but it was Indicated the
open debate on its ratification might
begin within a few DAYS.
