The oiler included an in-' crease of fifteen cents a ton to machine miners who are paid on a piece basis and an increase of twenty per cent to other workers paid by the day. The increase offered machine miners represents approximately one-half of what they demanded. according to W illiam Green, of the t’nited Mine Workers. Club Calendar Thursday Eastern Star Initations.

Miners’ union ollicials have not reached the point on deciding whether the increase offered will be acceptable. .Many other questions are involved. Green said. I John Lewis, president of the miners, indicated thnt the in- ' crease was insignificant. (By Ralph F. Couch. United Press Stall Cunespomleut) Washington. 1). (’., Nov. 20 (Spe--1 : lal to Dalit. Demount) Coal operatot and miners seemed ft|r from agreement today as the nation begun to feel the fuel shortage. I As memhet's ol the wage scale com,minu s prepared to go Into executive I session on this, the sixth day of their 'conference, reports reached government sources of the closing of plants lin the middle west for lack of fuel. 1)< spite optimistic views of officials of the labor department that differ[once; would be settled within a few days, few of the 400,000 miners who struck November 1 have gone back to work. Operators in conference here are depaying negotiations on the question of I a wage scale, it was learned today. , land are insisting that John Lewis, president of the United Mine Work- . ers, make a new attempt to get the men back to the mines. The operators deny they have patented an ultimatum to the miners refusing to consider wage scales until the men return to work. But they admit the suggestion has been made to. , ’lie miners’ chiefs that they may hasten agreement by getting the men back to work. Meanwhile the nation's supply of coal is running short. When the strike began November 1. coal dealers had a month's supply. In addition. much coal mined was in transit . to dealers. Most of this, seized by the , railroad administration, now has been i used. Tile remainder is stored on ears. Miners began the strike prepare to hold'out at least thirty days j December 1 thus should bring both sides nearer the breaking point. But before that the public will begin to make itself felt in the situation, government officials believe. EFFECTIVE DECEMBER IST.
