INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 20.—The bitumin- ous miners of the country are preparing to ask for 18 to 20 per cent increase in wages at the coming national convention. It is admitted by the leaders in the different states that an increase of about this figure will be demanded. W. D. Ryan, sccretary of the Iilinofs dls- s his qistrict will ask for this nd Indiana and other leaders say their districts will ask for the same. The miners last year made a demand for a straight increase of 10 per cent on a straight run of mine business, but ihis was not granted and the old scale was finally adopted. The last increase the miners gained was at Columbus, three years ago, It was from 15 to 20 per cent. The miners have had a s work for some time.
