PFSEE Ht y a ‘ 2 N THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBE PRESIDENT WARNS MINERS ALL UNIONS WILL SUFFER AF THEY HURT THE PUBLIC * FNDIANAPOLIS, Dee. 10.—Follow fing ts the text of President Wilson's Proposal to the bituminous coat I have noticed with deep con- cern the developments in the Bituminous coal strike and am convinced there is much con- fusion in the minds of the peo- ple generally, and possibly both Parties te this unfortunate con- troversy, as to the attitude and Purposes of the Government ia its handling of the situation, The mine workers offered a ‘wage increase of 20 per cont, conditioned, however, upon the Price of coal being raised to an amount sufficient to cover this Proposed increase of wages, which would have added at least $150,- 000,000 to the annual coal bill of the people. The Fhel Admin- istrator, (a the light of present information, has taken the posi- tion, and I think with entire jus- tification, that the public is now paying as high prices for coal fas it ought to be requested to pay, and that any wage increase made at this time ought to come out of the profits of the coal oper- Fuel Administrator expressed the opinion that the 14 per cent, increase in all mine wages fa Teasonabie because it would ‘equalize the miners’ wages on thé average with the cost of living, he made it perfectly clear that operators and the miners are to agree upon ao large provided the operators it out of their profits so price of coal would re- same. Secretary of Labor, in an at conciliation between the jes, expressed his personal Ui HE pinion in favor of a larger in- His effort at conciliation failed, however, because the coal operators wore unwilling to pay the scale he proposed unless the Government would advande the price of coal to tho public, and this the Government was unwill- ing to do. The Fuel Administrator had also suggested that a (tribunal be created in which the miners and operators would be equally repre- sented to consider further ques- tions of wages and working con- ditions, as well ax profits of oper- ators and proper prices for coal. 1 shall, of course, be glad to aid in the formation of such @ tri- bunal. T understand the operators have generally agreed to absorb an in- crease of 14 per cont In wages, wo that the publio would pay not to exceed the present price fixed by the Fuel Administrator, and i GIVEN A CHAIR that is comfort-inspired; made in @ manner that in- vites frequent and familiar es MR a al = there's a gift for a man that conforms with his ee: eret idea of what Christ. mas ought to bet ae — ee Flint& Horner rine. m0-a6 West 36° 3.
