that their 1inesS could not st nj the payment OF
three-and-l-half cents per buShel for mining coal,
AMI proposed a rtiu:tiln to thres cents. The
miners resisted the reduction, AMI all efforts at
arbitration failed Finally the miners proposed
that IT the operators would exhibit their books and
establish By the figures in them their claim that
the business would not Justify thre,-anf-a-hllf
