But it often means that they want to get enough money at the end of the week so that they can support their families. They might get a wage of $5 a day on an eight-hour basis, but if he only had three days at eight hours and the other days at two or four hours, or possibly no work at all due to car shortage, he would not be earning the $30 a week which a rough multiplication by the average | individual might ecem to be netting him. Thin—The miners were given their last increase in wages because Dr. Harry Garfield, Fuel Administra- tor, eeid they needed it to meet the cost of living. That was more than a year aso, and the cost of living has increased. But here the Government steps in to say that it cannot increase the cycle. I@ will try to reduce the cost of living rather than sanction In creases in wages. The situation with respect to the coal miners 1s in this respect tlie same as the railroad men’ who have been held in check by the Government's promises to reduce the cost of living.
