FIGURES SHOW EARNINGS OF ANTRACITE COAL MINERS New York, April res pur- porting. to_show. that earnings of an- thracite mine workers during the last three years have more than kept pace with the cost of living were submitted Dby the operators at today’s meeting of the sub-committee appointed to nego- tiate a new wage agreement for the brad coal flelds. - These figures, which were compiled from, the payrolls of 80 per cent. of the operating companies, showed the earnings of the mine workers in 1916 and compared them with their present earnings. The percentage of increase was not reyealed by the operators. The presentation of the statisticai data started a general discussion which continued . for' several hours The mine workers disputed the accu- racy of the figures and took the pos tion that they were of the “hand- picked” variety. The mine workers already have placed” figures before the committee showing the average earnings of the day men are but $900 per “year, while the confract miner averages from $1 200 to $1,600 per year. The operators data, however, is reported to show the earnings “of fhe workers to be greatly in excess of these figures, After the figures were read into the record and the arguments completed the committee adjourned until tomor- row, when the operators are expected to_complete their case. Representatives of the operators in- dicated tonight that ‘they probably will be ready to submit their counter- proposals, covering the mine workers' demands, next Monday or sooner. ASSOCIATIONS IN SESSION New York, April 8.—Today’s session of the American Physical Educatio: association’s annual conventien here to sectional meetings. This evening a pageant was staged in Broeklyn illustrating heaith-giving qualities of the dance. Miss Charlotte Wells of New Ro- sectional meeting, declared that over-exertion is worse (han lack of exercise. Specking on “The Type of Work for Weaker ‘Women,” she deplored such women “in the hope that they will improve health and strength at the same time.” Physical culture tésts have fre- ently shown that the strongest in- dividual may “fall short of being the one iri the best of health, Carl L, Schrader of Harvard university told another section. Newer methads of testing physical efficiency, he sald, consisting of a number of varied ex- ercises that bring all parts of the body into play, furnished the physical in- structor with some definite idea of the health status of pupil Glastonbury.—The selectmen of Glastonbury are having much difficul- ty in getting a water supply for the § | town farm. The state board of chari- ities has ordered water supply for the houre, and there is no way of obtain- ing it without spending a much larger amount of money than the selectmen are ready to expend.
