Mine Pay Cited.
The antisubsidy group, its ranks
composed of nearly all of the Re-
publicans plus some Democrats from
farm States, have seized on the re-
cent pay boost granted coal miners
as an argument for increased food
prices.
Evidence that the subsidy row
would be an issue in 1914 elections
came in a week end plea by House
Democratic Leader Mccormack to
continue the payments until next
November and let the voters, by
their choice of Congressman and
for the presidency, decide the issue
