WAGE INCREASES ARE SATISFACTORY r Continued from First Page.] stnadard will come before the con vention. According to its leading officers, officials will ratify the bi tuminous and anthracite wage scales agreed to in conference in Washing ton several months ago, notwith standing there is talk of some op position. An unusual feature of the meeting is the absence of a scale committee which heretofore always brought in a report for a higher wage. * l>ctcnsc Fund Suggested While the delegates will not aslt for higher wages, they are expected to take action looking to the main tenance of the present standard, at least after the war is over. To this end a large defense fund is suggest ed by some of the leaders for use in the event any attempt is made to readjust wages downward. Among the plans on foot Is one to increase the per capita tax from twenty-five cents to fifty cents a month to meet increased expenses of the union and to pay the costs of tlie organizing campaign, and another plan is to assess the members fifty cents a month to be used for defense pur poses only. Change Is Proposed Efforts will be piade to change the time of holding the biennial con ventions from January to September and to have it meet in different parts of the country instead of in Indian apolis. Cleveland, Scranton, Pa., and Kansas City, Mo., want the next con vention. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, is expected to address the miners a week from to-day.

Hayes, of the United Mine Workers of America, in reviewing the activities of the organ ization at the biennial convention of the union to-day, urged the delegates to ratify the wage agreements en tered into at Washington with the bi tuminous and anthracite operators and sanctioned by the Pederal Gov ernment. The agreements now in ef fect call for increases in wages and extend the present contracts two years from April 1. 1918. "We must remember," said President Hayes. "That we have .secured very substan tial wage advances during the past yefcr, and that there have been few if any industries in the country that have fared so well as ours 'in the matter of increased wages." The report reviews the litigation in which the union is involved, particu larly the West Virginia case wherein the organizers of the United Mine Workers of America are enjoined from soliciting employes of a coal company to become members of the organization.
