COMPROMISE IS UP
Representatives of Miners and
Operators Agree
REFERENDUM VOTc CALLED
Tbls Will Btqalre Two Weeks m in
Meantime Coal ladastry Will
be at Standstill
(Special to the Evening Review).
CLEVELAND, O.. March 30.
Complete suspension of the coal min
ing Industry of the entire country
will prevail for a least two weeks,
beginning nrxt Monday, while both
the bituminous and anthracite min
ers take a referendum vote on the
compromise proposed with the mine
owners. The proposal was made at
a Joint conference between the bitu
minous operators and the miners in
Cleveland today, it follows quickly
on the order of President White of
the United Mine 'Workers, suspend
ing operations in the anthracite coal
mines of Pennsylvania, calling for a
wntkout nt midnight Sunday of 170,
000 miners.
The compromise drawn up calls for
a wage increase for bituminous coal
miners of 5 cents a ton for lump coal
after It is put through screens, or H
cents a ton on the run of the mine
bnsis, including screenings. This
plan will be submitted to a referen
dum vote of the bituminous miners
pending which work will be sus
pended. It is believed that an early renew
al of negotiations between George F.
Haer, of Philadelphia, chairman of
the anthracite operators' committee,
and President White, of the miners,
may reult in an adjustment of the
hard coal differences. Hoth men are
willing to resume negotiations. Tak
ing of the referendum means that
6."0,0in miners will cease work Mon
day. The shutting down of the mines.
e union officials say. will cause
a' loss In the coal production of the
country of 7.013.000 tons of anthra
cite a month and will entail a loss
in pay to the miners of not less than
$.150,000 a day.

conciliation board created in 1902 to
enable employes to deal more direct

tracts. The demands were rejected by the
operators on March 13 and the offer
of the operators to continue the pres
ent scale was rejected by the miners.
Men W ork Only Part Time.
As sustaining their demands for
Increase of pay, the union gave out
this statement:
"Our desire for a 20 per cent In
crease In pay will not seem unreason
able when It Is learned that most of
the 170,000 anthracite mlnera work
only about two-thirds of the time.
The average working time for each
man last year was 240 days, and the
average salary earned by each man
for the year wbb $.".00, or less than
$10 a week.
"Our men take greater risk than
they do in other countries. The total
number of mert killed In mines for
the last ten years "was 24.0:17. The
yearly record of deaths In mines is
now about 2800. in the I'nited
States the death rate for 1000 men
is 3.91, as compared with 1.43 In
Great Britain, and it is more than
double that of any other country pro
ducing coal In Europe."
