Garfield, former fuel administrator, in an ar- ticle written for Farm and the compromi: that the coal strike to be “unsound in prin- ciple and a menace to our institutions, Dr. Garfield says: “The wages now paid to mine work- ers are sufficient. The opportunity that should be the ming workers' can- not be secured merely’ by an increa: in_wages. . In proof Dr. Garfield cites the aver- age of $950 per annum, earned by the lowest paid miners working 180 days the average miner in the bituminous in the year, while for 200 days' work field of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois earned $1,350 in 1918, and $1,300 last vear. This considerable sum than the average net receipts of the farmer and many oth- ers who may or may not work 300 days or more in the yea “The public ought not to be asked to pay more for coal” emphasized the ex-fuel administrator. “It is_ impo: sible to increase the wage of the mine: workers without inciting the work- ers in every other industry, including of ' course, agriculture, to demand an increase in wages. This would send the cost of living upward in a_vicious spiral, which will in the end prove hurtful to the workingman. The pur- charsing power of the dollar and not the number of dollars received is the important factor. ““Fhe public is the .chi 3 when the capital and labor engaged in the production of commodities nec- essary to the support of life fall afight- ing” continued Dr. Garfield. Tn these cases, certainly the interest of the public is vital and. therefore par- amount. We may admit the right to sttike on the part of labor, .and the case the right of the public to live paramount and will be asserted. “We now are called upon to contern~ plate an arrangement with a group} opposing the government which, how- ever it terminates, is unsound in principle and a menace to our insti- tution: # To guard against affairs reaching the strike stage, Dr. Garfield urges a permanent fuel administration as a consultive and advisory tribunal.
