Miners Ask Readjustment.

Brazil, Jan. 16.—Special delegates of District 8, United Mino Workers of America, are meeting here for the purpose of rearranging a new scale of prices. The adjustment on the 14 per cent increase was made on the basis of mine run coal, while all block coal is mined on the screened basis. Miners contend that the proper scale will give them an increase of 5 cents over what they are now getting.
