COAL WORKERS PiLUAIMED Managing Director Cushing T)eclares Under the Present Wage Scale Miner Can Make $5000 a Year Operators in to Win. WASHINGTON. Mar. 21. Coal oper ator who face the prospect of a strike of their employes April 1, but who still refuse, to enter a national conference with the coal miners' union are not controlled by "mere madness" but "a determination to cure a deep-seated disorder," George H. Cushing, manag ing director of the American wholesale association declared today in an ad dress before the Washington city club. Federal court Indictments which have charged operators of union mines with conspiracy with the unions in en deavors to fix coal prices and damage non-union coal mines were held by Mr. Cushing as largely responsible for the unwillingness of the coal operators to confer. Mr. Cushing declared that wages must come down in the mines and he said this was illustrated "by the amaz ing fact that under the present system a miner can earn $5000 a year." "They know that if the public should realize how much a practical miner may earn." Mr. Cushing added, "the people would refuse to pay the price for coal which such a wage Bcale fixes. They know how quickly their rate would be cut. "Labor is not striking against the coal operators, the railroad managers or the manufacturers, it is striking against the public The public does not know to what extent the mine pay roll has been padded. It does know that it is compelled to pay a price for coal against which it rebels. "The coal operator stands at a point where he must see the cause on one side and the effect on the other.' He has to turn about and fight. He has decided to strike at the real cause and he is going into the wage battle to clean the mines of the shirkers and the payroll padders."
