CLAIM OPERATORS
CAN REDUCE FUEL
WITHOUT WAGE CUT
Pennsylvania Union Presi.
dents Issue Statement At
lacking Owners.

HAZLETON, Pa. March Cost
OF fuel can be reduced without a cut
in the miners wages. union presi-
dents Of the three Pennsylvania an
thracite districts. today declared in a
statement. The Labor cost of anthra-
cite coal cannot be figured in dollars
and cents, the statement said, while
the three denied that miners pay is
inflated The statement came as an
answer Of the United Mine Workers
Of America to the recent assertion OF
the anthracite operators that the
cost of coal TO the consumer is too
a dehation OF the scale paid to mine
employees. II was signed by Thomas
Kennedy of Hazleton, c. J Golden OF
Shamokin. and W. J. Brennan OF
Scranton, The operators were
charged with avoiding any reference
to reduction OF a substantial nature
in their own profits. profits of the
railroads, of the coal sales COM
panies, royalty takers and distrib-
uting agents in the controversy. 1T
is therefore obvious" the statement
went on, that there must be some
connection between the operators
and all those who handle coal be
tween the operators and the con
sumers."
on the question Of the labor cost
of anthracite the statement said
The operators fix the labor cost
OF a ton Of anthracite coal at S3.92
and they receive wholesale f. o. b.
mines S6.15 for pea coal. S7.S5 for
stove coal. $7.95 for nut coal. and
$3.50 for egg coal. People in New
York, Philadelphia and elsewhere in
the anthracite consuming territory
pay as high as SIC a ton for coal
which is more than S12 more than
the labor cost Of 1922. Therefore a
more substantial reduction can be
made in the cost of coal by a cut in
the profits made above the labor cost
quoted By the operators"
At the convention Of the anthra-
cite miners IN Shamokin in January
the union asked for an increase OF
approximately 20 per cent in wages.
According to the statement issued to-
day, the miners are not seeking a
bare living wage but insisting
upon a saving wage" and a wage
commensurate with the hazard OF
the industry The statement pointed
out that more than 500 employees are
killed in and about the collieries
every year.

WASHINGTON. March 4 - The

but soon. il was announced the ad-
minstratiOn would push them to the
front and hold them before the sen
ate TO the exclusion Of all other bust
ness.
IL is stated that Pres't Harding
concurs with Sen. Lodges program
OF giving the four-pOwer treaty pre-
cedence over the naval. Chinese and
other treaties OF the arms confer
ence, although some republican sem
ators nave been OF the opinion that
the naval treaty ought first be taken
up.
One Of the strong arguments adj
vanced by the administration forces,
il was learned. involves the question
OF priority OF the treaties. Friends
Of the four power treaty, IT was
said. were prepared TO insist that
opposition to the fOur-power Pa
cihc measure would imperil the
naval limitation agreement-that II
would be dangerous TO ratify the
naval treaty without ratification OF
the four-power treaty. This point,
10 was said. would be based on the
argument that If the four-pOwer Pa
cific measure had been rejected the
United States could not safely con-
sent TO limitation OF the American
navy with the AnglO-Japanese alli-
ance in effect and with the pOssibil-
ity OF war in the Pacific which ii
is contended the four-pOwer treaty
would minimize.
Those supporting the fOur-pOwer
treaty expressed the opinion today
that its opponents would hesitate TO
vote against its ratification if they
should realize that such a vote
would imperil the naval agreement.
u is conceded. however. that a hard
and probably long fight faces the
four-power measure.
