Government Operation
OF Pits To Be Decided
AT Owners-U.S. Parley
Especial to The Citizen,

WASHINGTON, June III. A.
Krug, who still is in charge of
soft coal mines as the govern
ment's representative, and mine
owners, will hold a conference
Monday to determine whether or
not the mines will be relinquished
by the government.
II was said that. while great
majority of operators are anx-
ious to take back their mines.
they will not do so until they
have received OPA assurances
that prices will be advanced
sufficiently. in the sale of coal.
to offset increases in mining
the fuel.
Krug said he thought that an
advance of Is cents a ton will
take care of the wage increase
of 1872 cents an hour and the
welfare fund, which will amount
to $25,000,000 annually, but OPP
orators declared that their opin-
ion was the cost would be 80
cents more a ton.
1t would exceed that amount,
the operators said, if miners
work six, instead of five, days
a week, because, according to the
new contract, they must be paid
time and one-half when they
are in the pits on the sixth
day, which is eight hours in ex-
cess of the weekly standard of 40
hours.
