During the past year our profit has been less than 5 cents per ton.” Moore contends that miners this district are not confronted with the same living conditions as are miners in the east. cher Scale Here “There, the increase in the cost of living has exceeded their wages by 14 per cent,” he says in his state- ment. “Here the increase in the cost of living has exceeded their wages by but 1 per cent, considering the mines of the state as a whole, while in this company the wage increases have considerably exceeded the in- crease in the cost of living “Also, wages here are higher than in the east, #0 much #o that our the past two years in most e been as high, and in some | instances higher, than will obtain Kastern fields after the men thi jrecelve a 14 per cent inorea, Harlan Makes Statement Answering Moore's | Robert H.
