Although the employers admitted that the hard coal workers' wage scale i might not now be as high as paid the bituminous men, they pointed out that the earnings were “about the same” as the anthrac in more working days in a year.” After the mine owners' figures and arguments had been read into the record the committee adjourned until tomorrow when, further statisties data on this subject will be presented. The operators are undersiood to have at hand further fizures on the cost of production to'be used as an argument against increasing the miners’ wag- es. Officials of the mine workers said tonight that although they will 1 cept less than 54 7-10 per cent. crease they are going to pre initial demand for a 60 per c vance.
