Cleveland to renew negotiations
with operators In an effort to
avert the strike called for next Sat

Both operators and miners ex.
pressed a desire TO end tho general
discussions which marked the
opening days OF the conference last
week and TO conftne future sessions
to consideration OF the nineteen
demands Of the workers.
Demanding u 20 per cent Increase
in wages, the miners say they pro-
pose 10 demonstrate that wages In
the mines failed 10 keep pace with
wages in other industries during
the war: that the total increase has
been only G5 per cent since 1916:
that the mine operator Is making
an excessive profit by underpaying
his labor and overcharglng the cor.
sumer: and that the mines could
continue to show a reasonable prof.
1t 10 the operator after granting
both an increase in wages ami a
decrease in prices. The operators
say the cost Of coal production has
not been reduced.
