A
Coal Workers Xot SaUsfied With
Award Indicated by Two State
Organizations.
WASHINGTON. March 1,1. (By the
Associated Press.) The commission
appointed by President ' Wilson to
settle the coal strike has split def
initely on the questions of wage in
creases and hours of work.
The majority, Henry M. Robinson,
chairman, representing: the public,
and Rembrandt Peale, representing
the operators, in a report submitted
to President Wilson today, is under
stood to have recommended a general
wage increase of approximately 2&
per cent and the hours of labor to re
main unchanged. This increase in
cludes the 14 per cent granted after
the miners returned to work.
John P. White, representing the
miners, refused to concur. He is pre
paring a, minority report in which it
is reported that he will recommend a
seven-hour day and a wage Increase
of anm-oximatelv 35 per cent.
In advance of the publication of
the two reports officlalB of the
TJnited Mine Workers of America
would not discuss the probable course
of the miners. Since their repre
sentative refused to accept the ma
jority decision, however, it was re
garded as certain that they would
not accept.
Ultimate Agreement Hope.
William Green, secretary of the
miners' union, after a conference
with Secretary Tumulty at the White
House late today, said there was no
radical differences between the ma
jority and Mr. White, and expressed
the hope that the differences would
be ironed out at joint meetings be
tween the operators and the miners.
President Wilson in inviting the
members of the commission to under
take a settlement said it was im
portant that their conclusions be
reached by unanimous action.
In an effort to reach a unanimous
conclusion, the commission was under
stood to have held many long ses
sions this week, meeting both day
and night.
Mr. White held out against the
majority recommendations, however,
and when an agreement appeared
hopeless, the majority proceeded to
complete their report at midnight last
night, sending it to the White House
early today.
Both Sides Submit Case.
The commission began its hearings
on January 17, with the understand
ing between the government and the
miners that its report would be made
within 60 days, which period expires
tomorrow.
The commission would have no au
thority to enforce its findings had its
, report been unanimous. However,
when It began hearings the miners
agreed unreservedly to abide by its
decisions and the operators accepted
its Jurisdiction with the reservation
that they could not be bound by any
price advance for a period subsequent
to the life of the Lever act, as this
might subject them to prosecution
under the anti-trust laws.
Throughout the hearing the opera
tors insisted that many mines could
not operate if wages were advanced
unless there was a corresponding in
crease in coal prices. The miners
contended against this position and
charged that the operators had made
large profits during the war.
The miners originally demanded a
60 per cent increase and 30 hours
of work a week the year round. At
the council which the operators called
by Secretary Wilson after the govern
ment obtained an injunction to enjoin
the coal miners their representa
tives receded from this and agreed
to accept Mr. Wilson's proposal for
a 31.8 per cent Increase in wages and
a seven-hour day.
Secretary Wilson Guide.
The approximate increase of 35 per
cent, which it was reported Mr. White
would recommend in hie report to the
president tomorrow, was said to have
been worked out on the same basis
as was that of Secretary Wilson and
that the increases in the cost of liv
ing since November, had been added.
Wage Increases were said to have
been computed by the majority of the
commission on the basis of tonnage
for pick and machine mining, a per'
centage increase for yardage and
dead work and a flat advance in the
pay of day laborers. The increase is
not uniform for all mines, varying
in accordance with costs of produc
tion. According to some calculations,
the general advance probably would
amount to 27 per cent or more. .
Under the usual practice after the
reports are made public, the executive
board of the mine workers' union
would be summoned and possibly
a delegate convention from the locals
to determine whether the majority
report was to be accepted and. If not.
what action was to be taken.
The existing contract between the
miners and the operators will expire
on April 1. It was made during the
war for the duration of the conflict,
but was not in any event to run be
yond? the end of this month.
THEY'RE here; and of course we
think they're ahead of anything
we've seen for a long time. But
we'll leave that to you.

INCREASE MEANS PRICE RISE
Chairman of Operators' Commit
tee Does Not Indicate Amount.
ST. LOUIS, March 11. Thomas t;
Brewster, chairman of the coal op
erators' scale committee in the cen
tral competitive field, asserted the
price of coal would be increased if
the miners were granted the 25 per
cent wage increase, as recommended
today by the commission appointed
by President Wilson to settle the coal
miners' strike.'
Mr. Brewster refused to approxi
mate what the price Increase would
be or discuss the recommended wage
advance until he has received an of
ficial copy of the commissions re
port Illinois Miners Dislike Award.
SPRINGFIELD, ni., March 1L
Miners of Illinois will not be satis
fied with the award by the coal
strike settlement commission, but
tbey must accept it or break faith,
Frank Farrington. president of the
United Mine Workers of Illinois, said
today.
Oklahoma Unions Not Pleased. '
MUSKOGEE, Okla., March 11. The
25 per cent increase in wages recom
mended for coal miners by a ma
jority of the president's commission
will not satisfy the miners of the

district No. 21. said tonight.
STILL MEN ADMIT GUILT
Moonshiners Fined $500 Each and
Sentenced to Jail.
When Joseph Wilson and James Ivy,
who were brought to Portland recent
ly from Prinevllle, pleaded guilty to
charges of operating stills near that
place, Federal Judge Wolverton yes
terday afternoon Imposed fines of
$500 and sentenced them to six months
in Jail. Assistant United States At
torney Reames conducted the cases
for the government. Wilson told court
attaches he was a schoolmate of the
judge years ago in Lebanon, but
Judge Wolverton did not recognize
him as such.
Judge Wolverton fined Wong oo
$100 on a charge of selling cocaine,
a Jury having found him guilty. J.
Goehring was fined $60 for permit
ting a still to be operated on his
premises by Joe Sagala. A. Myer was

In a statement he made just before
the ship left. Colonel Le Magnen se
verely criticised President Wilson
coolness toward the project to pus
an allied drive against the bolshevik!
at the beginning of 1918
1 must say your president has
made many mistakes," he declared.
"Among them was his failure to rec
ognize, the necessity of fighting the
bolshevik! when they first raised
their heads. If he had supported such
action they would have been subdued
and their propaganda stopped. Le
nine was a weak power at the be'
ginning, but he gained strength be
cause he was so slightly opposed.
f ranco could not send a sufficien
force to Siberia in the summer
1918 when she was fighting for her
life. President Wilson should have
taken the initiative at that time."
