.OWNERSEXCUSE
FOR WAGE CUTS
Reductions Would Not Lower
Price of Coal to Consumer,
They Say.
BY international News Service.

A reduction in the wages of miners
will not mean a reduction in the sell
ing price of coal. representatives OF
the United Mine Workers declared
here today. The consumer Will rea D
no benefit whatever from q reduction
In wages. they claimed.
Coal operators are busily telling
the public that coal prices are too
high and that they must come
down" a statement issued by the
United Mine Workers says. But
the public should not allow itself
to be fooled with such talk. j. ID.
A. Morrow, vice president OF the
National Coal Association. recently
testified before the Interstate Com
merce Commission that the average
retail selling price of bituminous coal
throughout the country in October.
1921, was s10.41 tone. and that
the entire labor cost for the pro-
duction of the coal was $1.97 a ton.
III the operators were TO re.
duce wages 20 per cent It would
mean only a reduction of about 4
per cent in the selling price to the
consumer. Who is foolish enough
to believe that such a reduction
would be passed on TO the con.
sumner? While such n reduction
would mean nothing TO the con-
sumner, because he would not get a
lower price, 1t would mean great
deal to the miner to have his earn
ings cut 90 per cent"
The statement added that such
talk Is one OF the smoke screen
attempts" by the operators to fool
the public into believing that coal
prices can only be reduced through
a cut in wages.
Coal prices are too high, but it
Is not the miners fault, for he re-
ceives only small fraction Of the
money that the consumer pays for
his COAL" the statement added.
Eighty per cent of the money that
the consumer pays goes 10 others
besides the miners.
