WORKERS WANT MORE "Expect You to Accept the Award an( Carry it Into Effect," Says Presi dent. Washington, Aug. 30.-Presiden Wilson today approvedl the majorit; report of the anthracite coal commis sion, awarding anthracite mineri wage increases aggregating $85,000, 000 and notified the miners that h expected them 'to accept the, awar, and carry it into effect in good faith. Replying to threats from the miner that they would stop) work Septembe 1, unless the minority report of th commission, recommendling a highe award than providled in the majority were accepted, the President state, definitely that the majority awar, would not he set asidle. The majority rep~ort 'of the commis sioni granted wage increases of 20 ani 17 per cent above the present wvag scale. T1he 20 per cent wage increas was awarded contract miners and th advance of 17 per cent was recomn mended for company miners? monthl: men, miners' laborers and consider ation miners. Tlhe minority report, reconmmende a mninimum wvage of six dollars a dai for adult day laborers and an increas of 31 per cent for contract wvorkers. Agreed to Accept Diecision. In refusing the recluert of th miners for acceptance of the minorit report, as mfadIe in a t legramn sen through their local repre'sentatives the President called attention to; re'solution adopted by the~ miners i: coinven tioni agreeing to accep~t the find ings of such1 ai commission as he up p~oinlted. "'By all the laws of honor wh ici civilization rests," the Presidlent in hi telegram to the mniners added, "'tha leJdge should be fulfilled. Any inti Imation that the anthracite mine wr eris will refuse to work undaer th award bi eca use it does not grant ther all that t hey expec('tedl is a re*flect io 11pon1 the sinicerity of thle men wvh ((onsti tute the back bone of the comn muunity ini which they live."' The P'resident further told th miners that if their communiicatioi was menitf. nu a t~hreat they ou yens S I X i athletic grace liness as well, t car, come and you will buy. new car should )sition to give service on any )n.

Meeting is Called. Immediately upon announcement I from the White House that the Presi dent had approved the majority report. Secretary of Labor Wilson at the di-. rection of the President, issued a call t. for a meeting Thursday at Scranton of the joint anthracite coal companies - of operators andl United Mine Workers 'of America for the purpose of writing - the terms of the awvard into a contract a to he effective until Marcin 31, 1922. I The w.age increases recommended 'by the majority will amount to an an Sna! increase on back pay, accumu e atedt since last April 1. Interest of the general public in the r award centered laigely in the effect of ,the increases in wvages on the price I of hard coal. Taking cognizance of Ijthis the commission saidl that wvhile making substantial improvement in - the situation of the miners, it -had tried I to be conservative andl had declinedl to commit itself to a decision that might justly be considered an encour agement to the so-called "vicious up ward spiral" in prices. The result, the commission said, was the awards. while providling improvedl condition for the wvorkers, couki offer no justi fication for any adlvances in the re tail prices of coal.

"Some persons have gotten the idea that the trignsportation act guarantees the railway companies 6 per cent on their stocks andl bonds. T~he fact is that the act says nothing about any return on capitalization and no rail wvay is guaranteedl anything, The vol ume of stocks and bonds which any railwauy company may have outstand ing wvill have absolutely no effect on the return it will receive. While the act makes it the duty of the commission to authorize rates Iwhich will give the railways of each section -en aggregate fair return on the aggregate value of their property, there is no assurance that any indlividl unl railwvay will get a rei~urn of 6 per cent on the value of its property, or any return at all. What it will get will dlependl can the business it se cures and the efficiency with which that business is handled.
