NKWSPAI'EII US' II AUUISHL 111 l TWO CENT; LX XXVII I CABINET HOPES TO DECIDE COAL WAGE ARGUMENT Palmer Says Fuel Administra tion May Not Allow Ad vance in Price MINING COST IS SHOWN Intimated the Operators Will Have to Bear Any Pay Increases i By Associated Press. •Yashiiigton. Nov. 25. —President Wilson's Cabinet expected to reach a decision to-day on the wage eon- , troversy between the bituminous coal miners and operators that would , send the miners back to work. Before ending the meeting. Attor ney General Palmer said that if the figures as to operators' profits gfven yesterday by furme-r Secretary of the Treasury MoAdoo were correct, it : was not likely that Fuel Administra tor Garlield would permit an in- i creased price for coal. Any wage | advance granted, it was, intimated, ! tvbnhi have to come out of operators' > profits. , , Deadlock Unbroken Dr. Garfield took to the cabinet meeting bituminous coal production ost figures prepared by H. V. Nor t is. engineer for the fuel administru- ! lion during the war, who has been bringing up to date the cost sheets. These figures were expected to fur nish the basis for an agreement in the cabinet as tjo the amount of the ■ wage increase the operators would ' be called upon to bear. Operators and miners spent two hours in conference" to-day without breaking the deadlock as to wages. Leaders on both sides said the nego tiations would not be continued un- | til after the cabinet had acted. Owing to the disagreement which ltad arisen as to the amount of the 1 increase in the cost of living, and ; consequently the per cent, of wage advance needed to meet higher living ] costs, great significance was attach- i ed to Dr. Garfield's declaration that i "the average total increase in pay i over the 1913 base, which was the; base considered in 1917, should not exceed the present increase in the j cost of living over the same base." ! "It is also to be considered that j the cost of living will fall rather j than rise during thp "text few*years," ' he added. ' Operators* View Operators construed this state- j ment as in conflict with the conten- ; tion of Secretary Wilson that miners ; should be given a thirty-one per ! cent, wage advance to equalize the j margin between present wages and a • seventy-nine per cent, rise in living i cost since 1*914. Pointing out that war-time coal j prices were fixed for# he purpose of , stimulating production, Dr. Garfield declared that the public would not i now pay the increase over normal : profits allowed during the war. His ! further statement that any wage in- j crease should be "borne bv the oper- j ators or the public, or both," was J generally taken to mean that part > of the advance must come out of the i excess profits of the mining com- j panies. Garfield's Principles The five principles announced by ! Dr. Garfield were: "First—The public must not be 1 asked to pay more than it is now paying for coal unless it is necessary | to do so in order to provide reason- J able wages to the mine workers and a reasonable profit to the operators, i "Second —The arrangement en- j tered into between the operators, the mine workers and the fuel adminis- I tration, with the sanction of the | President of the United States in Oc- j tober. 1917. was intended to equalize j the wages of all classes of mine j workers and to be sufficient to cover I the period of the war, but not be- j yond March 31. 1 920; hence the l only increase in cost of living which j can now be considered is the in- I crease above that provided for by '■ the average increase in 1917: that! is to say. the average total increase j in pay over the 1913 base, which ' was the base considered in 1917, j should not exceed the present aver- j age increase in the cost of living | over the same base. It is also to be | considered that the cost of living ; will fall rather than rise during the j next few years. "Third —The maximum prices I fixed by the government on coal 1 were calculated to increase produc- I tion of coal for war purposes. Coal i was basic and the increase impera- i tivc. The public* ought not to be asked to pay and will not now pay I the increase over normal profits | then allowed for the purpose of | stimulating production. "Fourth —Any increases in wages j now arrived at on the basis of the j foregoing principles should be borne ! by the operators or the public or ! both as may be determined by the application of these principles and should take, effect as of the date when the men return to work. "Fifth—The needs of the United States are not alone to be consider ed: Europe is in desperate need of coal and should have all that we ohn spare."
