SCoTTDALE, Dec. 1.-The Scale Com
mittee of the United Mine Workers is still
in session, formulating their annual demands
to the operators. An advance is said to be
wanted for both coke drawing and mining,
but the extent of the advance cannot be-
ascertained. Master Workman kerfoot
said to-day that their demands would be so
just and equitable that strike would not
be necessary next February, the time for
making the wage agreement for the ensuing
year. He said that he looked for peaceful
adjustment of all wage difficulties, and a
strike was only remote possibility. Con-
tinuing, he said:
Both sides realize the gravity of the situa-
ton. A prolonged strike would be detri-
mental to both employer and employe. We
are amply prepared Tor long strike, how
ever, as the cokers were never in such
thoroughly organized condition"
The mine workers are once more waging
a crusade against non-un1onists, and, begin
ming with to-day, all unorganized men will
be charged an initiation fee of SIS. The re-
ported combine of the Mahoning and She
mango Valley furnace men, to secure re-
duction in the quoted price of coke, has
caused no great tiutter in coke circles. Op-
orators say they can lind ready market for
their output, and no change in price is ex-
pected.
