ISOLATED Press) While there are no
Indications of the precise nature of
the statement to be made in Parlia-
ment Thursday by Prime Minister
Baldwin concerning the reparations
question official spokesmen here say
there will be nothing spectacular
about the governments declaration.
The statement, they say, will aim
at setting openly before the world
the views of Great Britain for the
economic and political restoration of
Europe. The door will be left open
for full cooperation between Great
Britain and France.
Even should it prove necessary for
the British government to take its
own line it is pointed out that twice
already has. France taken individual
action regarding Germany without
consulting Great Britain and that
this has not resulted in any breach.

New Jersey Roofing Company
and Lehigh Valley Sign
an Agreement

The agreement reached between
the New Jersey Roofing Company
and the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
whereby the roofing company is to
secure new site for its plant to
replace the present location which
must be abandoned because of the
grade crossing elimination here, is
another forward step in making the
crossing elimination a reality. Papers
have been filed in the county clerks
Office at New Brunswick by the
New Jersey Roofing Company and
the Lehigh Valley roilroad whereby
the railroad company will convey
to the roofing concern strip of land
119 feet deep with 66 feet frontage
on New Brunswick avenue, adjoin-
ing property now occupied by the
roofing company for one dollar and
other valuable considerations.
The railroad will build a retain
ing wall along the New Brunswick
side of the new plot when the elm
iration takes place and also steps
from the new street level to the
ground level of the company's plant.
The street is to be lowered at this
point, the tracks going over the
street.
The railroad is given permission
to lay a temporary switch on part
of the roofing company's property
in order that certain materials might
be handled over it during the grade
crossing elimination work, rental
charge of $40 a month being agreed
upon for a term of two years.
The roofing company releases the
railroad from any damages which
might result to the roofing company
as the result of the crossing elimina-

What Workers Have to Con-
tend With Told of by Visitor
to Coal Regions
BY HARRY b. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

SCRANTON, Pa, July 10:-Why
are anthracite miAers demanding a
90 per cent increase in pay, plus i'm
proved conditions in the mines and
the application of different standards
throughout the different colleries of
the hard coal field?
put this question to scores of mi
ners in a score of mine towns
Nanicoke, Pittston, Old Forge, Car
bondale, Brewick, Shamokin and
many others. put it also to mine
bosses, business men and Chamber
Of Commerce officials. The answers,
surprisingly near unanimous in their
support of the miners claims, group
ed themselves about two main rea-
sons. Briefly summarized, these are:
l.: That present costs of living,
for men with families, make higher
pay imperative.
Q: That the men are not sharing
proportionately in the wealth they
are producing.
A third reason, not stressed by
the miners themselves, but put for
ward by outsiders supporting the
miners claims, is that if any occu-
patton deserves to earn more than q
living wage for its workers it is that
which keeps the men for long per-
iods buried deep under ground, shut
Off from the light of day, breathing
the gaseous, Justified air of the
coal workings and in constant dan
ger of multitude of mishaps that
may kill or MAIN them for life.
Wearing on Men
Conditions under which a large
percentage of the men work make
1t impossible for them to put in full
time" said Rosser Mainwaring of
Wilkes-Barre, a former mine boss.
"A man simply can't keep at it six
days a week.
The general public hasn't the
slightest idea of what this work in
wolves.
This hard coal comes for most
part from deep Lying veins. There
are some shafts here that go down
22OO feet. The average working is
probably between 500 and 1000 feet.
Z The air down there is close and
heavy. There is always more or less
gas and dust. Often they have to put
on a hose to keep the temperature
down to lay the dust to prevent ex-
plosions.
In one mine out here they are
working a 22-inch vein. The men
who cut that coal crawl 800 feet
back through that shallow drift to
their work. They must work on
hands and knees or lying down.
There's a whole mountain pressing
down over their heads. How MANY
of the folks who kick at the price of
coal would crawl back in there to
dig even one bucketful?
"Of course that's an extreme case.
Opposed to it there is one vein run
ming 22 feet thick, where the cham
bers are high, the air better and the
sense of oppression perhaps at a
minimum.
Earn Wages
But at best it's q straininR and
dangerous life. There's always the
chance of an explosion, of a bad
1all OF rock, of the river breaking in.
Whatever the men can get I'll say
they earn. l put in a lot of wears
IN the mines, starting in as a boy in
the breakers. But never again for
meat any price"
Evidences of enormously increas-
ed profits to the operators, at pres
ent prices, also have strengthened
the workers demand for better paw
