HE new deadlock in the controversy over wages in the bitumi- nous coal industry emphasizes more than ever the country’s great present want: a tribunal of euch recognized competence authority that its decisions in industrial and economic disputes carry compelling weight with all parties involved. Be Dr. Garfield’s estimate that a 14 per cent. increase in miners’ P at the present time will put them abreast of the 79.8 per cent. in the cost of living since 1913, although accepted by the operators, fails to impress the mine workers. It makes no differ- that Dr. Garfield’s figures are based on “Bureau of Labor sta- for both cost of living and for the weighted average of wage ases.” The miners are not basing their wage demands on eco- estimates. | On the other hand, the mine operators are enraged that a Secte- of the Treasury, former or present, should regard their enormous o a earnings’ on capital stock—in some cases as high as 2,000 per _ eent—as bearing on the present wage discussion. The operators _ would have the Government figure a 100 per cent, decline from 500 : perl cent. coal profits as loss that threatens ruin. 5 | The trouble is each party to the controversy has his own partic- 4 ulat kind of economics to apply. He would have only such statistics intfodaced ad*support his special contentions. He recognizes no au- thority competent either to decide, in the first place, what facts and figtres are required or to review those facts and figures and arrive at "just conclusions. | Nor, it must be admitted, has the Government in its attempt to over and settle the coal controversy shown complete confidence . Bingleness of view in its own grasp of the situation. " Seeking a compromise with the 60 per cent. wage increase de- by the miners, Secretary of Labor Wilson suggested an ce of 31.6 per cent. This figure naturally sticks in the miners’ ries to the great disadvantage of Dr. Garficld’s offer of 14 nt. 4 Dr. Garfield points out that his 14 per cent. advance is calculated * special adherence to the principle that “the public ought not 7 to be required to pay any increase in coal prices at this time.” But |. the@ along comes former Secretary of the 'l'reasury McAdoo with an indo nt of Secretary Wilson’s 31 per cent. proposal as “just " Bi csestie” and the assurance that the huge profits of the ‘ g bi inous coal operators as revealed: in the Federal income tax ret ought to take care of a 31 per cent. wage increase without it on to the public in the shape of higher prices. The most hopeful feature of the situation is the Government’s g insistence on this view, that whateyer the wage advance finally ig upon, it must be such as to give the operators no warrant for - to “get it back” from the consumer. The public at last has » & champion who will not leave it to bear the entire cost of a struggle — del capital and Jabor in an industry upon which it depends for a § necessity. This is distinct progress. The fact remains, however, that the coal strike is by no means 4 ‘in the sense that there is a return to anything like the normal output of eoft coal. : a & "That is most serious, and every day makes it more so | Ft brings us up against the disturbing truth that even an offered f increase of 14 per cent., with the United States Government aring this increase to be, to the best of its judgment, a fair basis * onwhich to proceed without prejudicing the possibility of further ; tments, is not enough to induce miners to go back to work. lous—though we have also the word of the present Secretary of reasury that those profits have been lowered in the'past year.
