Anthracite Workers Will
Make New Demands at
Coining Meeting
PHILADELPHIA, (By A. P.) De
mands for a 60 per cent inert in
wace 'or contract miners, $2.00 a
day raise tor day men, and a six
lurar day and five day week for men
paid by the day or month, will be pre
sented to the anthracite coal operat
or in New York on March 9 by the
nkn representative of the hrd coal
diners. These demands were formu
lated at a convention of the anthricite
Miners in Wilkes-Barre, last August
and ratified by the national conven
tion of the United Mine Worker of
America in Cleveland in September.
The conference of operator and
mine workers next month will endeav
or to negotiate a new agreement to
take the place of the contract now in
force.
The present general wage agree
ment covering the anthracite industry
was entered into in May, 1916, for
four years ending March 31 this year.
Because of war conditions, wages have
been since readjusted by supplemental
agreements. Between the miners and
operators.
About 170,000 mine worker will be
affected by the new contract to be
negotiated. The miners' scale com
mittee which will meet the operators
will be composed of the officers and
executive board members of the three
districts comprising the anthracite
fields, the three international board
members in the hard coal region and
three mine workers from each district.
No announcement has been made as
to the number of men who will repre
sent the coal mine owners. It is ex
pected, however, that after the de
mands are formally presented and
views are exchanged between the two
sides, a small subcommittee will be
named to carry on the actual negoti
ations. When in final form the agreement
will be presented to the full commit
tee for adoption. In the case of the
miners, the agreement will have to go
back to a convention of the mine
workers for ratification.
Whether the mine workers will re
main at work, if an agreement is not
reached by March 31, will depend
largely, it is said, on how strenuously
the operators oppose the demands. No
pinion has thus far been given by
either side as to the outcome of the
negotiations. The opinion was ex
pressed, however, that the negotia
tion probably would not be taken up
seriously until the bituminous wage
scale has been agreed upon.
