do maintain that for public benefit and in the interest of the industry there must be downward revision of the pay rates. The companies have promised to pass along any down. ward revision to the consumer, meaning cheaper fuel.
 Boiled down, the anthracite situa- tion is just this: The men are ask ing 20 per cent above their present contract. The operators will demand a reduction in what they turn "war- time rates." President John L. Lew is, of the United Mine Workers, has declared, There must be no step backWard!" The companies are claiming such a step is necessary.
 Preparation for Worst.
 As the situation draws to the point where cards must be laid on the table, there comes to light in many ways evidence of a prepara- tion for the worst. The Hudson Coal Company, with large number of collieries, has started the build ing of large trained police force Leon Pitcher, the highest-priced po- lice chief Wilkes Barre ever had, has joined the company forces and will be in charge of it's police. Gen. erally there goes on a steady work of preparation to meet any emer- gency.
 Among the men is a silent prepa- ration to meet any situation that may arise. Business depression has not set in on a large scale, but suf- ficlently large to indicate that the miner and his family are careful with their money, and free spending has been considerably curtailed.

NOVEL PLANE
 DESIGNED FOR TORPEDO WORK
Powerfully Equipped Sea- plane Rides Heavy Seas, Attacks Swiftly and Is Easily Disguised.
By T. N. SANDIFER,

 Correspondent. Washington, Feb. 24-Naval off cers here are watching with interest the experiments now being conduct ed with the new torpedo plane, a craft of this type having recently been brought to the naval air sta tion here for experimental purposes. Ships of this sort have been in the minds of naval men for years, as the aerial counterpart of the sub marine of the seas; for that, in short, sums up the new aircraft.
 In general terms the torpedo plane is like seaplane. It carries pontoons which are designed to float lit in the heaviest seas, and it carries 1.-two powerful 375 horsepower en zines.
 Unlike the bombing plane, which hovers over it's target and drops it's missiles, the torpedo plane swoops down near the surface of the water, as far from the target as possible, launches it's torpedo and then climbs high again. For this. purpose it carries a full size torpedo slung on carriers between the pontoon floats. The torpedo is released by trigger. In addition to the tor pedo the plane carries complement of machine guns with clear field of fire. It can carry gross load of five and half tons with cruising range of, 300 miles, and ac- cording to the builders has a speed of 110 miles an hour, with full load.
 As an additional qualification the machine is designed to be practical ly invisible two miles away, and, in fact, on the surface of the sea against any sort of background it is well nigh invisible only short distance away.

cents a ton, which the consumer would have to pay.
 ''In addition, there would be fur ther increases in the labor cost if other demands were granted
 Resolution to Suspend
 "The demands of the anthracite mine workers are accompanied by resolution to suspend production of coal unless an agreement on wages is reached by April l."
 The 150,000 men employed in the anthracite fields produced in 1921 7S,91I000 gross tons, slightly more than was produced in 192v. The labor cost of producing ,-.s amount of coal was $252,179,000.
 Were the demands of the miners met the anthracite operators con- tend that the cost to the consumer would be increased S130 per ton. This is based on the plan of passing on the increased cost of labor to the public. Roughly it means an in- crease of $50,0O0,00O in the labor bill, and the operators claim this would have to be carried on the larger sizes of coal-those mainly put to domestic use.
 The anthracite miner claims that there has not bsen any decrease in the cost of living that warrants a cut in wages. state statistics show the general average of mine work CTS pay is about $1,520 yearly. On the other hand, the operator con tends there has been decided drop in living costs and that there should be a drop in the wartime rate of wages.
 Lower Living Costs.
 The operators base their claims to lower living costs on the report of the National Industrial Conference Bodard. This report shows that the peak of the cost of living was reached in July, 1920, and that since the total cost of living has been re- duced 20.3 per cent.
 There is the feeling among the miners that stores will extend them credit if strike comes.
 There has been no market for an- thracite in many weeks there are various reasons for this-business depression, mild weather and a shortage of money. There has been some slack time in the industry The men have felt the pinch, but owing to the lack of demand there has been opportunity for storage. The companies are not admitting it, but there is vast amount of an- in storage, but mostly steam size.

 Strike Expected April 1.
By GEORGE w. WILLIAMS. international News Service otaff CnrrnSnnndnnf

Nfpi ltSpCii'iNiil'
 Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Feb. 25.-With the possibility of a strike, affecting the hard and soft coal fields, by April 1, William J. Brennan, presi- dent of District No. l, United Mine Workers Of America, made the fol- lowing statement today relative to the situation in the anthracite zone:
 Among the men there is feel ing that if strike does not come a suspension will take place. The 150,000 men in the three anthracite districts are seriously and carefully watching the situation, but they do not openly talk strike and do not advocate it except as last resort. April 1 will come to us with re- membrance of the dark days of 1902. The field is thoroughly un- ionizod, the finances are in good shape, but with the bituminous sit uation as it is our condition is very much different than it was in 1902. We have no knowledge of large amounts of coal being in storage and do not believe there arc"
 A. s. Learoyd, spokesman for the general committee of operators, has made the following statement:
 "The position of tho anthracite operators is that the price of coal at the mines is too high. Lower mine prices can be effected only by re- duction in the producing cost. The only item of the cost of production which has not been reduced is la Dor, which constitutes more than 70 per cent of the total. In other of a gross ton of anthracite is $5.55. Of this $3.92 is for labor. These figures are for the first half of 1921.
 Would Mean Increase.
 eff the demands of the anthracite mine workers for an increase of twenty per cent in the contract wage rate and one dollar day in crease for all men employed by the day were to be granted it would mean an increase of 7S.4 cents q ton in the labor cost of the total production of anthracite.
 However, thirty per cent of the -otal production consists of the so- called steam sizes, which have to be- sold far below cost in competition with bituminous coal, and ten per cent is pea coal, which moves very lowly and at low prices. Ii follows, therefore, that the remaining sixty ,er cent of production, comprising he domestic sizes, would have to bsorb the entire increase in wages. This, on the domestic sizes, figures ,ut about one dollar and thirty

ANTHRACITE
 FIELD 10 HAVE
 HUGE STRIKE
April May See Closing of Mines Due to Mems Wage Boost Stand-Hope of Peace Barely Lingers.
By GEORGE w. WILLIAMS, International News Service Staff
 CONroSDOnlonL.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Feb. 24.-Not since 1902, when the anthracite industry was almost completely tied up by six months strike of the United Mine Workers of America, has the hard coal fields faced situation fraught with greater danger of industrial stagnation than at present, Dangerous as the sit nation really is, there is back of it, nevertheless, the deep-rooted belief that peace is not impossible and that April l may see no closing down of the anthracite mines.
 Anthracite operators are not talk ing strike. Neither are the United Mine Workers of America. Yet each side is preparing for emer- gency, Neither will say that a strike will not come, nor will they admit that a suspension is cer- tainty.
 While there has come an open break between the bituminous men and their employers, a like situation does not exist in the anthracite. Hard-coal miners and operators will at least go into a conference. While the time and place of such confer ence has not yet been fixed it is a certainty that formal meetings will be held.
 Men Want More Pay.
 There is difference-pe perhaps so big as to be stumbling block for the terms of new agreement. The United Mine Work CTS have written into a tentative set of demands the terms under which they are willing to negotiate new contract. Chief of these is the ques- tion of wages, a 20 per cent increase on the ton basis where a miner is paid on the amount of coal he handles and flat increase of one dollar Der day for men paid on the daily basis. On this point the op- erators have fixed nothing definite in the way Of 8 wage scale, but they
