SCRANTON. Pa. Oct. s--rnterviews
with prominent coal operators here today
ELECTED uniform declaration that no fur
ther concessions or notifications of the
present offer would be made, and that the
miners must take II or leave IL just as II
stands.
They say II Is plain and complete and
contains all they can or will concede. The
10 per cent. increase means that every
man In the anthracite mines is TO have
il0 for the work for which he formerly
received 81, the operators say. The pow
der Item is simply a matter OF bookkeep-
Ing. Instead Of giving the miners 10 per
cent. increase fiat they will have their
credit side increased say, per cent. and
from their debit side will be subsracted 7
per cent. or whatever percentage OF ex-
pense II Is found the difference in the cost
of their powder amounts TO. The purpose
is simply to put an end to the bowling
about the powder being sold at exorbitant
prices. Powder Is the basis Of the wage
scale, IL IL explained. and to decrease It's
cost is to Increase the wages. In this re-
gion a decrease of LIS in keg Of pow
der means n per cent. decrease in the
miners expenses. Therefore when he has
his expenses reduced per cent he has his
wages increased a like amount The
other per cent. viii be made up by in
creasinE the allowance per car for cutting
and loading
Where miner gets 81 a car he will. un-
der the new scale. get N.o3 Ia car. His
net earnings will be the same whether he
gets the Increase fiat or by figuring on
the increase In powder.
The fact that coal is high and that the
demands OF individual operators for bet
ter allowances viii keep II high il sug-
geeted A. . reason why those working
under the sliding scale should not worry
about being jugsled out OF their increase.
The further fact that the operators do not
want strikes and that they realize that
the United Mine Workers organisation IL
here TO stay viii, II is pointed out, have
a tendency To prevent any double dealing
on the part OF the operators. even II they
were inclined To do thing OF this kind.
All arrangements for tomorrow's big
parade aud mass meeting are now com
piete. Fully 5000 will be In the parade.
and It Is estimated that so 100 persons will
assemble TO hear President Mitchell and
others speak. The national officers will
come here tomorrow and will remain here
until after the convention, and possibly
until the strike is settled.
