mine workers in the anthracite fields

operators makes a statement for their
side of the matter, but individual mine
owners dispute the strikers figures say

the union leaders will admit.
The first advance in the price of
coal as a result of the strike was made
by the Philadelphia & Reading COM
pany today. 25 cents per ton being ad-
ded- This advance was promptly met
by the local dealers, who increased the
price TO consumers so cents a ton.

SIDE OF OPERATORS.
Statement Is Made That Many Griev-
ances Are Imaginary.

New York, Sept. 1S.-John B. Gar
rett, vice president of the Lehigh Coal
company. in an interview made the
following statement in review of the
various grievances alleged by the
United Mine Workers to exist in the
anthracite coal fields:
This company conducts no stores,
nor does it exert any influence upon
employers to prefer one merchant
above another.
1T employees no doctors and makes
no charges against its employees for
medical service to them or their fam
lilies. Inquiry has satisfied me that
the above is also the case with the
companies generally. Semi-monthly
pay is observed by us in few cases, be-
ing in all in which the men have de-
manded it. 1t would be observed any
where were the demand made as called
for by law.
THE use of the Word ton as applied
to 1850 pounds is a misnOmer; it is
simply a unit of measure which might
be called car or a CARLOAD. or by
any other name, and is the quantity
OF actual coal, plus bone, slate and
other foreign material. for the re-
moval of which a certain payment is
made under the agreed scale of wa eS.
THE price charged for powder is an
apparent but not a real grievance. In
some regions S2.75 per keg is charged,
in others $3.50 per key This Of itself
should be sufficient evidence that the
compensation of the miner is set indie
pendently of the price Of powder as a
net return for days labor must be
essentially the same Z in neighboring
fields, whether one or the other price
is charged for the Dowder. -1---,
Another evideneeTthat the price of
powder does not create an injury 10
the miner is shown by the fact that
when the subject was agitated some
time ago, one of the largest companies
offered to reduce the Sharge for powder
to its then current SaIue. provided the
men would consent to such revision of
their wages as would continue the
same compensation for their labor as
they had previously received under the
agreement which was then operative.
This was promptly rejected, show
ing that their purpose was to effect an
increase of wages and that if this
could not be obtained they preferred to
maintain the apparent grievance
which could be and has been from that
time to this used as ground of com
plant or unfair treatment.
Eliminating the foregoing alleged
grievances from the list formulated by
the United Mine Workers, nothing
whatever remains but a general de
mand for increased pay and recogni-
ton of the order as the agency
through which differences should be
adjusted"
