[here is every indi eation that the rane owners will re fuse flatly to mest them, first on the grounds that they are too high, see. ond, thit the recent fxing of coal prices by President Wilson will not permit of any ine reas: The increases asked, while stipn- Inted for the central field, comprising Pennsylvania, will serve as a basis would have to be met by other dis- triets. The demunds are as follows: Increases of 15 cents 8 ton on pick to all differentials existing between thin and thick vein mines. Advarices of $1.90 a day for all men employed in and around mines, and 20 per cent raised on all “dead work” and “yanding” Today's joint emnference was opened with a speech by Dr. 8 A Garfield, the fuel administrator, who urged i both sides to let no differences stand in the way of the capacity production of coml.

The operators, aside from contend. ing that they cannot afford to pay the increnses, declare the demands are unjustified, inmsmuch as x general wage raise granted in April was to have lasted antil next March. In ad- dition, they point to an increase given Lin April, 1918, whith, they, say was ‘granted with the distinet understand- ing that no more demands were to be made for two years. The demand of pick and machine miners for an increase of 15 cents a ton, the operators say, would mean an (average wage increswe of about 25 per cent. The increase of $1.90 asked ‘hy unskilled men, working in and nround the mines, would be added to un present wage of from $2.35 to $8.60. Both operators and miners are rep- resented in the cpnferitices by eight representatives from such of the four states that would be affected by the incremse, a a aad “The Siscker™ hos lwem booked for wn two dnys run st the Grand Thea | kre early in November ; Hove it.

A a A FAMINE TO WIN THE WAR Seven years ago a famous European stodent of history prophesied that the next grest war of the future would not be won by fighting but by famine. We are today fighting that war, and the famine is indeed threatening to be its arbiter. The mun of England, Scotland, Ire land, Frunce, Italy and Belgiam-—our Allies-—are fighting; they are not on the farms. The production of food by these countries has been greatly re. duced. Even before the war it was much less than the amount consumed. The difference came more largely from other countrivs. They must now come from America. Therefore, our Allies depend on us for food as they ‘have never depended before, and they ask us for it with a right they have fever had before. For todny they are doing the fighting, the suffer. . We must send them the food they have to have. We will send it. But we [ean only do it by & wise and loyal economy of food on the part of every (one of us. We must stimulate our food production, organize our food hand]. ing, eliminate all the waste possible, substitute as largely as possible other foods for wheat, beuf, pork, dairy products, and sugar, and reduce consumption where it is ex. To accomplish these things is the aim of the United States Food Ad ministration. But this accomplishment ean only rome from wie combined per- sonal and voluntary service of all the people of the land. To that end we want all the people to join the Pood ly a promise to help.
