These We're the outstanding results
Of a twe-day conference of the coal
operators in Atlantic City, announced
by Samuel D. Warmer, president of
the Lehigh Valley Coal and Navigation
company, who was chairman of the
conference
Returning to this city, Mr.. Warmer
Z In his office in the Lafayette building
IN making known the attitude of the
Operators, announced that they have
accepted an invitation of john L. Lew
Is, president of the United Mine Work
ers Of America to joint conference
of mine workers and operators, to be
held in New York on March 15
He made public letter that he had
received from Mr.. Lewis and his reply,

| the regret that the negotiations would
of necessity be hurried, as April / has
! been fixed by the miners for suspen-
sion of work unless their demands en-
|kbracing increased wages and eighteen
Dther grievances are met
! Warmer emphatically asserted that
the present wage scale Of the miners
Is inflated, out Of all proportion TO
living costs. He said tat the wages
are II per cent above the high peak
wages in the mines during the war
days. He further stated that the pres
ent wages of approximately 100000
day men" in the mines show an in
crease of 131 pr cent since 1914, COM
pared with an average in the living
rosts, aggregating 57.7 per cent, dur
ng the same period.
Asked what reduction will be made,
Warmer said that it had not been
worked out. II will, however be sub
tantial, he said. He characterized the
ncrease of 20 per cent demanded by
he miners as uncalled for
Asked directly whether the consum
r will get the benefit Of the proposed
hduction, he said: Undoubtedly so.''
e admitted that the cost of coal is
Maintaining it's high level as are other
bmmodities, md that it can only come
own if labor comes down in price.
The whole thing, he added, is a
