MINERS ADVOCATE
CUTTING OF PROFIT
ON ANTHRACITE COAL

Chicago, March 4.-Cheaper anthra-
cite coal for the public, to be, made
possible by slashing the profits of the
mine owner rather than by reducing
the laborers' wages, is advocated by
the United Mine Workers of America
in a statement issued here today.
Mine owners freely admit that the
cost of coal to the consumer is too
high" declared the statement. THE
remedy they suggest is reduction in
the cost of digging the coal-the min
er's wage-which is placed by the
operators at 1892 a ton.'
The mine workers indicate that low
er labor costs will represent "a bare
living wage,' whereas they insist up
on "a saving wage commensurate with
the hazards of the industry"
Coal sells at New York, Philadel-
phia and in other large cities at prices
ranging up to SIS a tone, which rep
resents the operators own profits,
profits of the railroads. profits Of the
coal sales companies, the royalty TAX
ers and distributing agents." the
statement set forth.

New Bonus Compromise
Provision Affecting
i. Relatives. Comes Up

Washington, March An, added
provision to the compromise soldiers
honus bill under which the immediate
relatives of men who died since their
discharge, from, the service would re-
ceive adjusted compensation is under
consideration by majority members of
the house ways and means committee.
Decision is expected on Monday.
Sponsors of the proposal favor pay
ing such relatives the face value of
adjusted service certificates on the
same basis as is proposed in the bill
for service men generally. This would
equal the amount of the adjusted
service pay plus Is per cent. They es-
innate that the cost to the treasury
probably would not exceed $25,0O0,-
900 and argue that the payments
would be a matter of simple justice.

CHAlNBE.RLAlN'S
DECLARATION
NOT EFFECTIVE
Crisis in Great Britain Con
tinues at an Acute
Stage.

London, March 4.-What was re-
garded in political circles here as
seemingly a plain intimation of the
early resignation Of Prime Minister
Lloyd George with an endeavor to
form new national centrist party out
coalition Liberals. was given by
Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary
for the colonies, in his address at
this afternoon.
This party. as Mr.. Churchill de-
scribed it in the reports of his speech
received here, would be liberal, pro-
gressive and pacific in it's outlook at
home and abroad and res0lute also to
uphold and maintain the traditions Of
the state and the power and unity of
the empire"
London, March 4-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. )-Austin Chamberlain's
declaration of the solidity of the cab
met behind Mr.. Lloyd George has had
little appreciable effect on the situa-
ton which threatens to bring about
the resignation of the prime minister,
in the opinion of the majority of po-
litical writers in today's newspapers.
1t is generally conceded that the
crisis continues at an acute stage and
| even the journals most anxious to
preserve the coalition government
candidly admit that the position is
about as serious as it possibly can be.
| No important development is look
ed for until after the week end. Mr..
Lloyd George has gone to Chequers
Court, his country estate, where he
will have as his guests over Sunday
Mr.. Chamberlain. Lord Chancellor
Birkenheal, Sir Arthur Balfour, prob
aoiy Sir Robert Horne, and possibly
Andrew BOnar Law and the situation
! naturally will be eXhaustively dis
! cussed.
| Meanwhile the friends of the coali.
tior are continuing efforts to keep il
] together.
| In spite of all the efforts of the
prime minister's champions, howev-
er, his conservative opponents show
no sign of weakening. Their attitude
is that the unionist leaders have be.
trayed their followers and their one
desire is to- see the. death of the coali.
