Saws Hard Coal
Interests Get 81
Profit at Mime
Philip Murray. Union Vice
President. Charges En-
cessive Freight Rafe
Is Factor in High Cost
Denies Operators Claims
Attacks Royalties Paid in
Connection Witt, Lease of
Properties As s'Thieyerv"

Excessive freight rates charged by
the anthracite-hau!iue roads cause the
srthracite interests represented beth
in the roads and the coal companies
to receive profit in excess Of 81 ton
at the mines. it was charged yesterday
hy Philip Murray, vice president Of
the United Mine Workers.
NJ. Murray's statement was issued
chiefly in denial of claim of the
operators that granting of the hard
coal miners' demands would add si1o,-
100000 a year 10 the consumers coal
bill. He also attacked the royalties
paid in connection with the leasing %
anthracite properties, tcrming them
''thievery.
Reply to Warriner Statement
The operators claim was made on
Sunday as the opening gun in the
presentation Of their counter evidence
against that placed by the miners be
fore the anthracite scale committee,
which will resume its sessions in the
Union League Club to-day, The sun
day statement vas issued By Samuel
D. Warriner, chief spokesman for the
operators in the negotiations.
"W hilc ue have 10 way OF checking
no Mr. WARMERS figures at this time,
it has been contended by The operators
that their pay rolls amount to $780,
900 600 a year" said MIR. Murray. "As
we are asking 20 per cent increase.
$50 900 900 year would be added 20
the pay rolls through the granting Of
our demands. How Mr. Warriner can
explain the balance Of $ll0,00000
which would be required 80 arrive o.

Mr.. Murray SAID that Mr. Warmer
in his statemen. chad remained silent
on other factors entering into the
cost of coal" and named high freight
rates as one of these. He said that
the anthracite carriers receive SO a ton
for hauling to tidewater. New York
and that were this cut in half-"still
allowing the carriers a substantial
profit"-the reduction would bring a
decrease Of $4,000 600 a year in the
cost TO the consumer.
Such saving, alone. would enable
the operators not only TO pay the wage
increase sought. but also would permit
them to cut the price to the conslre er
ubstantially," Mr.. Murray continued.

INDIANAPOLIS. April 10. - Revival
OF the wartime fuel administration TO
supervise the price and distribution of
coal next winter may be necessary If
the mine strike is prolonged, it was
said at United Mine Workers head
! quarters here to-day. A coal shortage
is almost certainty if the reserve is
worn down to $4,000 900 tons, and gov
crnmeAt action will be necessary to
prevent suffering in some sections. it
was added.
Certain small industries already are
beginning to feel the pinch of the
strike. it was said, just as they are
merging from a business depression.
They are expected to bring pressure
upon the administration in Washington
to force mine owners into wage confer
cnces with their employees, refusal of
which precipitated the suspension.
The government, however, has deter
mined upon "hands off" policy, which
it Will pursue indefinitely if non-union
production can supply 100000 tons
let the two factions settle their differ
ences on the field Of industrial war il
public welfare is not endangered.
If nonunion production can be built
up from 100000 tons daily-the record
Of the first week in the strike-no move
is expected from government quarters
and industries will continue eating into
the reserve supply. which was S.
100000 tons on April /, the beginning
Of the strike.
"When this is cut to 30,000,0o0 tons
the surplus viii be unusually low and
America will be on the verge Of fuel
famine one miner official declared
"Thcn the operators viii attempt to
profit by the old law Of supply and de-
mand and by signing up longtime con-
tracts with panicky buyers while prices
are high. A fuel administrator would
be necessary at that stage of the
game"
Miner chiefs are confident the out
come will be in their favor. They say
the strike is growing in scope each day,
as thousands Of non-union miners walk
out in sympathy and become members
Of the United Mine Workers.
Approximately $4,000 non-union
miners in the bitumfnous fields have
Joined in the nation wide strike Of
miners, John l.. Lewis, international
president said to-day. About one half
Of the 155,000 men In the anthracite
mines are not members Of the union
and officers said several days ago these
we're participating in the strike. This
New-York tribune., 1922-04-11

would make q total of more than 125,-
900 non-union men out.
1--WE are making progress in the
nonunion fields" Mr.. Lewis said "The
union men are standing firm"
While no exact estimate was made
of the men participating IN the sus-
pension, it was evident from Mr. Lewis s.
statement that union officials regarded
their former estimate of 100000 as
having been exceeded IT was said au-
thoritivcly that the union leaders be-
lieved that 100000 men are participants
in the walk-out.
Mr.. Lewis declined to apportion the
distribution by states OF the non-union
strikes, further than to say 10000 had
been enlisted in central sylvania
and several thousand in West Virginia,
these states being those where the
union centered attack on non-union
operators,
While numerous messages were re
ceived to-day by Mr.. Lewis he said
the only significant change was that
progress was being made toward organ
lzlng the non-union miners.
Daughcrty in Indianapolis
The secret mission" Of Harry Nj
Daugherty. Attorney General, who ar
ilNeO mere lH'S morning, WAS frankly
admitted as being to investigate the
facts in the coal strike. In addition he
is here to consider tho pending case
against miners and operators, indlct-
ments of whicn were returned more
than a year ago in Judge A. B. Ander-
sons court. He held two hour CON
ference with Judge Anderson
"The government desires to know all
it possibly can Mr.. Daughorty said
at hopes to get complete story OF
the various meetings Of the miners
and operators. The government is not
taking sides, but it is interested We
are not deciding now who is right or
