Laborers and Engineers u the Public"
The principal features in this unter state
ment is n copy vi the or,ginA agreement
made September Il, los1, by the joint
committee and comparing IT with the mem-
orandum OF agreement oi the same date as
prepared by Mr. Whiting and signed with
his initials. The material difference Is that
the Whiting memorandum of agreement
distinctly states this agreement IS TO ter
inmate January l, lsss. a clause which the
Joint committee paper did not contain.
The Joint Committee then addressed
General Manager Whiting as follows:
DKAR SIR: Fully appreciatlng the course
pursued by your company i'll the past,
especially by yourself and Mr.. Corbin, in
efiecting and maintaining amicable and
satisfactory relations with this committee
representing organized labor. the commit
tee now desires 10 SAY that while II Is their
wish to continue the same friendly feelings.
We cannot agree to any construction OF the
memorandum of agreement between your
company and this committee dated at
Pottsville. September ith, lss., other than
that said agreement terminates January lst
1883; that il would he unfair To ask the
mine workers Of this region TO con-
tinue At work upon the basis eX-
isting previous 10 September lst,
1887. First, because of some reasons that
warranted the demand made for an ad-
vance on the basis which still exist and
second. because the condition of affairs
upon which the important provisions of
that agreement is based. are the same now
as when the agreement was made, and fur
ther. because at that time the receivers
could not make any agreement extending
beyond January !, il was ~ considered and
accepted by this committee; therefore the
insertion OF clause in the memorandum
of agreement, making any provision for
the time beyond January 1, cannot in
honor be considered binding.
In view of the fact that the price of coal
IL very likely 10 remain at a figure that
will warrant q continuance of the present
agreement, We ask that the same, together
with the present fraternal relations, be
maintained at least until the company il
prepared TO make tnri settlement.

INorEI-In August last when the demand
was made. and the question was under dis
cussion, Mr. Whiting suggested that the
men continue work and that the matter
could he arbiirated and settled, but in the
present affair Mr.. Corbin allows no such
privilege, nor makes any such offer, hence
there is no alternative for the men but TO
accept the proffered reduction or quit. Let
the public Judge OF this whole question
upon its merits.
