INCREASE OF 79 PER CENT. IN COST OF Livina. The Department of Labor through its various statistical bureaus has made an exhaustive investigation and come to the conclusion that in the family budget of the miner there has been @ total increase since 1914 of 79 per cent. In other words, food 1a8 gone up 28 per cent., clothing 21 per cent, housing 1 per cent,, fuel and light 21-2 per cent. and so on. Secretary Wilson thought the fair thing to do was to subtract from this 79 per cent, of inicreased cost of living the amount of increased wages that the miners got in 1917, when the last adjustment was made. This left a deficit and in order to make up that deficit and enable the minet to moet his present cost of living, he recommended an increase ‘mn wages of 28.58 cents per ton as the increase that would be necessary to make the pick mining rates equiv- alent to the present cost of commod- ties in the minor's household, ESTIMATE DOESN'T SUIT EITHER SIDE, The operators say this much and the miners say it is not enough. And on top of this the nlti- mate consumer sets up a how! that the increased wages would mean $200,000,000 to the cost of coal per year. But of this amount really the great bulk ts absorbed by big indus- and there is only 16 per cent., oF $32,000,000, which would be borne by the average man. It means about forty cents a ton more for coal that the average householder would have But the interesting thing about it all’ fs that if there hadn't been a coal strike the attention of the Gov- ernment and the country probably would never have been focussed on the rising prices of coal to the con- sumer and there would never have heen a return of the Fuel Adminis- trator and a check kept on the max- imum price of coal. \f tt hadn't been for the controversy itself, the price of coal might have fone up not merely forty cents but several dollars, And the miners know thet might happen and that they might not get any share of that In other words. As for the viewpotnt that the tm- porition of forty cents per ton more on the price of coal to the consumer {s an unfair burden, the miner pointe out that the great body of con- sumers — constituting publio—have increared his cost of Uving 79 per cent. and is asking him to pay more for his shoes, his clothing, his building materials and everything else, If the general pub- le would reduce the cost of living the miner would be content.
