Dr. Garfield's de claration that "the average total in crease ia pay over the 1913 base, which was the base epasidrred in 1917, should not exceed the present increase in the cost of living over the soma base. . "It is also to be considered that the cost of living will fall ruther than rise during the next lew years." he added. Operators construed this statement as . in conflict with the contention of Secre tary Wilson that miners should be given a 31 per cent wage advance to equalise the margin between present wages and 79 per cent Taiae in living cost since im. Pointing out that war-time coal prices were fixua for the purpose of stimulat ing production, Dr. Garfield declared that the poblje would not now pay the increase over normal profits allowed during the war. His further statement that any wage increase should be "borne -Jiyjhe operators or .the public or both was generally taken to mean that part of the advance, must come out of the excess profits of the mining com panic. Garfield's Fire Principle. ' .,, The fire principles announced by Dr. Garfield; ... , "First The public must not be asked to pay more than it ia now paying for coal unless it ia necessary to do so Jn cnler to provide reasonable wagea to the mine, workers and a reasonable profit to the operators. . "Second The arrangements entered auto between the operator, the mine workers,' and the fuel administration, with tb sanetioa of. the President of the United States ia October, 1917, was Intended to equalize the wages of all classes of mine workers and to be suf ficient to cover the period of the war, but not beyond March 31, 1920; hence the only increase in cost of living which can bow be considered ia the increase above that provided for by the average Increase in 1917 that is to say, the av erage total increase in -pay over the 1913 . bnte which was the base considered ia 39X7. should not exceed the present av erage Increase ia the eost of living over tb same base, it is also to De consid ered that the eost of living will fall ratter the a rise during the aext few years.
