This was issued as a part of a formal communication sent to the Federal Coal commis. sion. The commission recently sent a question-} naire to the miners and operators preparatory to| investigating the whole mine industry. One of the| questions was as to whether or not there should be | a standardization of the cost of living for mine} workers, which is exactly what other organizations | are asking of the railway labor board under the} title of a living wage. In reply to all this the | United Mine Workers said: j “How this commission can hope to standardize | the cost of living without at the same time stand- ardizing the level of living of mine workers is be- yond the comprehension of this committee. It seems | to us that it would be impossible to standardize} the of living unless each individual mine worker was required to accept and adopt a stand ard, identi level of living for himself and his/ family. Any attempt to establish such 9 standard or to fix.a maximum or minimum limit to what the individual man might wish to adopt for himself as) his level of living would out-soviet any system.) either paterns > or communistic, that we know of.

Sugar sells for 6 cents a pound at one place and 7 cents a pound at another place. Gasoline sells at 25 cents a gallon in Indiana and 24 cents a gallon in the District of Columbia, though why we do not know. How could anyone hope to standard ize the of living under s onditions ?” Of course, if the cost of liv nnot be stand ardized, it is impossible to standardize the wage Member of Audit Bureau ot Circulation (A.
