By David Laurence, Special Correspondent of The Evening World. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. (Copy- fight, 1919).—Nobody satisfied, net- neither the ther miners nor operators; the Cabinet representing Government nor the public; coal miners getting ready to fight until starved into submission; oper. ators worried éver their Inability to satisfy the world-wide demand for coal; Government agencies such as the War Department and the Depart- ment of Justice getting ready to pro- tect those miners who desire to work —all this is only a part of one of the most tragic situations in the history of the American Government President Wilson lies ill at the White House. His Cabinet is split Good feeling prevails, but honest dif- ferences of opinion have produced only inaction—not a settlement of the biggest industrial controversy that ever faced the Cabinet. STRUGGLE BETWEEN GARFIELD AND SECRETARY WILSON. The main difference is between the Secretary of Labor, William B. Wilson, and the Fuel Administrator, Dr. Harry A. Garfield. Each respects and credits the other's figures and statistics, but doubts the other’ methods of computation on a basis of fairness. Dr. Garfield insists that the public ehouldn’t pay any more for coal, Sec- retary Wilson admits that such a thing would be excellent in theory, but that the country is faced not with a theory but with a condition. The cost of living has risen. Both sides— operators, miners, Dr. Garfield, Sec- retary Wilson, everybody—admits that. But Dr, Garfield has figured out by his method of calculation, which is a simple method of striking an aver- age within an Imdustry of all the classes of work, and coming to a final percentage of 14 per cent, as the in- crease in wages, while Secretary Wilson says it is futile to take aver- ages when It leaves dissatisfied more than half of the men engaged in | digging coal. _|WILSON WANTS PUBLIC TO PAY | TRE WORLD CRAVEL RURRAU, Ar Pole (Word) Wilding. ci aman 4000, | @deck roam fe r baggage anit parcela Some dg an | Money ordem and Wavellery’ | talagad.
