The state ment of the anthracite mlneworkers' case, 'which was filed with the Strike Com mission on Sunday night, was made pub He today. Copies of the statement have been furnished to the operators, who will renlv In three or four days. The miners Btatement In full Is as follows: "To the Anthracite Coal Strike Commis sion: "The mlneworkers make of the opera tors the following demands, which were formulated by the Shamokln convention. held March 19-24, and for the enforcement of which the strike was Inaugurated: "First An Increase of 20 per cent upon the prices paid during the year 1901 to employes performing contract or piece -work. This demand is made on account of the following reasons: "1. Thf nrsent rate of watres is much lower than the rate of wages paid in the bituminous coal fields for substantially similar work. "2. The present rate of wages is lower than Is paid in other occupations requir incr pnunl skill and trainlncr. "3. The average annual earnings in the anthracite coal fields are much less than the average annual earnings in the bi tuminous coal fields for substantially similar tcork. "4. The average annual earnings In the anthracite coal fields are much less than the average annual earnings for occupa tlnns rpoiilrlncr fnun.l skill and "training. "a. The rate of watres in the anthracite coal fields is insufficient to compensate the mlneworkers. In view of the danger dus character of the occupation in rela tion to accidents, the liability to serious and permanent disablement; me, nign death rate and the short-grade life inci dpnt to this emnlovment. "6. The annual earnings of the mine workers are insufficient to Maintain the American standard of living' "7. The Increased cost of living has made it impossible to maintain a fair standard of life upon the basis of pres ent wages and has ,not only prevented the mlneworkers from securing any bene fit from increased prosperity, but has made their condition poorer on account of It. , "S. The wages of the anthracite mine workers are so low that their children are permanently forced into the breakers and mills, instead of being supported and educated upon the earnings of their par ents. . . "9. Wages are below the fair and just earnings of mlneworkers in this industry. "Second A reduction of 20 per cent fin hours of labor without any reduction of amines for all employes paid by the hour, -day or week. The second demand Is similar to the first, in that it Is de signed to increase the hourly rate of -wanes of mlneworkers employed by "the hour, day or week, and all the reasons applicable to the first demand are asked to be applied to the second with repe-' tltion. "In addition we submit the following: "10. The 10-hour day is detrimental to the health, life, safety and well-being of the mlneworkers. "ll. Shorter hours imnrove the physical. mental and moral conditions of the work ers. "12. Shorter hours increase the inten Rltv and efficiency of labor. "13. The tendency of National and state government of organized trade and pro duction generally is towara snorter nours. "14 A trnrklnr dav of eltrht hours is sufficiently long for the best Interests or the worklngmen and -or the community. "Third The adoption of a system, by which coal shall be weighed and paid for by weight wherever practicable; the mini mum rate per ton to be 60 cents for a legal ton of 2240 pounds; the differentials now existing at the various mines to be maintained. This demand Is made on ac count of the following reasons: "l. Measurement by the legal ton wher. ever practicable is the only honest and jufct system of measuring the earnings of "2. JVhen the operators sell or trans port COai It IS on mti uaeia ui a. icku Tnn nf 2240 riounds. "3 The excessive ton was originally Intended to compensate the operators for the weight of small sizes of coal which were then discarded, but which are now utilized and sold, and therefore there I& no present necessity for the use of any other than the legal ton. "i ThA ndontion of this 6rstem would remove an incentive both to the operator and the worker to cheating and dishon esty and would allay jealousy .among the miners and prevent unjust discrimination and favoritism. "5. The change of the present system to the one a&ked for would prove a strong factor in allavlne suspicion ana aiscon tent amone the mlneworkers. - "Fourth The incorparatlon in an agree ment between the United Mlneworkers America and the anthracite coal com panics of the wages which shall be paid and the conditions of employment which shall obtain, together with satisfactory methods for the adjustment of grievances which may arise from time to time, to the end that strikes and lockouts may be unnecessary. In support of this demand we submit the following reasons: "L The anthracite mlneworkers should not be compelled to make or sign lndl vidual agreements, but should have the right to form such organization and choose such agents and otIlcer& as they desire to act collectively Instead of lndi vidually when they deem that their best interests are 6UDserv6a thereby. "2. Agreements between employers and employes tnrougn wormngmen s organlza uons are me oramary metnoa of regu latlng production and wages in the bl tuminous coal fields and in other larce In dufctries and are beneficial, successful and in keening with the spirit of the times "3. Unions of worklngmen tend to the better discipline of the men and to tht. Improvement of their physical, moral and mental condition and to the preservation of rnenasy relations Dy employer and employe. "4. Experience shows that the trade agreement is the only effective method hv which It is possible to regulate questions arising uetween employers ana employes in lame districts and that a trade acree- mcnt Is the only possible way to establish the relations between the- employer and the wagemaker in the anthracite fields n a; just, permanent basis and as far It is well to know that the Ladies' Knit Underwear on which, we make a special price for the remainder of the week is the famous "Merode" make gar ments that are all hand finished and distinguished for being smooth, soft, very shapely and elastic.

AID FOR SUGAR PLANTERS Jamaican Legislature Is Convened In Special Session. KINGSTON, Jamaisa, Nov. 4. A special session of the, Legislature convened today In order to give authority to the gov ernment to make loans to sugar planters supplementary to the imperial grant, and thus secure malntainan'ce of the Industry. In his opening address Acting Governor Olivier announced a general improvement in the colony's condition- during the first half-year, the revenue for that period hav ing increased not less than $250,000. This showing is due principally to the increased exports of such ' products as coffee and fruit, the largest quantities of which go to America. The improvement. Governor Olivier said, was so marked that the gov ernment hoped next year to repay the loan of $100,000 obtained last year from the imperial exchequer.
