NEW YOFtK, May 2. Flatly re
jecting tho proposed compromise
agreement prepared by a subcommit
tee, the joint committee of the an
thracite miners this afternoon caused
a prolongation of tho dispute be
tween the mine owners and the min
ers. The action of the minors' com
mittee wns taken after the compro
mise had been accepted hy tho full
committee of the operators. This ac
tion may lead -to a severo strike,
which was thought averted.
Tho subcommittee's report, which
the joint wage scalo commltteo of
operators nnd miners considered this
afternoon, was unanimous. It sug
gested a new agreement providing
for the continuation, for a period of
four years, of the terms and condi
tions of the Anthracite Strike com
mission's award, supplemented by
the agreements entered into subse
quent to the award, excepting In tho
following particulars:
All employes were to get 10 por
cent over the scale established by
the strike commission in 1903 and
the sliding scale is to bo abolished
by mutual consent; there shall be an
equitable division of mine cars; tho
contract miner shall not pay his em
ployes less than the standard rate
for that particular class of work;
there shall be a grievance commit
tee of miners from each mine to dis
cuss with the company all grievances
referred to this company by the em
ployes; If the mine committee fails
to ndjust tho dispute it may refer
the matter to u conciliation board
from that particular mlno district.
Other terms of the proposed agree
ment referred to tho condition of the
mines.
