REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Coal Miners Asked to Work for Less
Money.
The Trouble Said to be the Compe-
tition Of Non-Union Miners in
This City and Vicinity-The Dig
gers at the Bogg's Run Mine De-
eide They Will Not Accept the
Cut

Yesterday the Boggs Run Mining Com
pany made a proposition to their miners
that they accept a reduction of wages
from forty to thirty-fve cents on every
car of coal, and a reduction to forty-tive
cents on every car over the screen. The
last named reduction, on clean coal
would amount TO about ten cents on each
car The management made the PROPOSE
ton to the men. claiming that they could
not compete with the prices paid the non
union miners at Glendale, Elm Grove and
North Wheeling. The diggers at the non
union miners work for considerably less
than at those where union men only are
employed.
The diggers of both banks of the Boggs
Run Company met yesterday morning
and after a full discussion, decided that
they could not afford to accept the reduc-
ton. The remuneration they receive now
is far from satisfactory. \ number stated
yesterday that coal digger could hardly
earn more than two dollars a day by
putting in a hard days work. The miners
at their meeting yesterday morning APP
pointed a committee, Jacob kesler and
John Richter, to wait upon the superin-
tendent, Philip Kuntz, and notify him OF
the mems decision. They did so last eve
ming. The superintendent informed them
that as they would not agree to reduc-
ton that the mines would lot be closed
but that the men would have to accept
lust what work was necessary 10 MI the
orders coming in from the b. Il o. road
and from a few factories and miscellaneous
customers. They were not promised
steady work, but the men are better salts
fled to maintain their wages and work on
short time, if necessary.
The miners at Gilchrist's bank above
North Wheeling. have been out on a
strike against a reduction. but coal man
said last evening that the men had de-
cided to accept the reduction and had
gone to work. The reduction OF wages
amounts to a drop from sixty-one cents
car TO forty-hve cents on screened COAL
and mixed coal on the same basis.
