NO FURTHER CONCESSIONS.
Prominent Operators Declare They
Have Reached Their Limit

Have Reached Their Limit.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 10.-Interviews
with prominent operators here elected
a uniform declaration that no further
concessions or modification OF the
present offer will be made and that
the miners must take 1t or leave il
Just as IL stands.
They say it is plain and complete,
and contains all they can or will con-
cede. The 10 per cent increase means
that every man in the anthracite
mines is to have 81 10 for the work for
which he formerly received 81, the
operators say. The powder item Is
simply matter of bookkeeping. In
stead Of giving the miners 10 per cent
increase fiat he will have his credit
side increased say 8 per cent and from
his debit side will be subtracted per
cent or whatever percentage Of expense
the difference in the cost OF his powder
amounts TO. The purpose is simply TO
put an end to the bowling about pow
der being sold at eXorbitant prices
kPowder Is the basis OF the wage scale
1T Is explained, and 10 decrease it's cost
! Is to increase the wages. In this re-
gion decrease OF SIPS in a keg of
powder means per cent decrease in
the miners expense. The other per
cent will be made up by increasing
the allowance per car for cutting and
loading. Where miner gets 81 a car
? he will under the new scale get BLOB 1-3
cents car. His net earnings will be
the same whether he gets the increase
hat or by figuring in the decrease on
Powder.
The fact that coal is high and that
ne demands of individual operators
for better allowances will keep it high
is suggested as a reason why those
working under the sliding scale should
not worry about being juggled out of
their Increase. The further fact that
the operators do not want strikes, and
that they realize the United Mine
Workers organization Is here to stay,
will, it is pointed out, have a tendency
to dissuade any double dealing on the
i part of the operators, even If they
were inclined to do a thing OF this kind.

ing Anthracite Miners.
THE GATHERING AT sHAMoKIN.

President Mitchell Tells the Strikers
That the present victory In But

Conditions fin the Years to Come.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 1O.-Presldent
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
who came here yesterday to take part
in labor demonstration, was welcom-
ed In most enthusiastic manner by
the thousands of striking mine work
FRS in this section of the Schuylki1l
Falley. The city was profusely decor

hess houses in the vicinity closed at
noon and thousands of people came
rom surrounding towns to take part
"a the parade and to listen to Mr..
&Mitchell's speech at q mass meeting,
(which was held after the parade.
President Mitchell was enthusiast
tically received when he arose to ad-
dress the assemblage. He spoke OF the
enthusiasm displayed by the men
throughout the strike region and went
into the situation as It now stands.
In referring to the prospective ending
OF the strike he said:,o tT
Every other strike that has taken
place In the anthraciteiregion has been
l1eciared on by your ofhcers. Here
ofore when men went on strike they
remained out for time and then the
hief executive or the executive board
declared the strike of without con-
ulting the wishes OF the strikers. ]

vention. end 1t for themselves. We
pave called convention and you men

SOME MINERS, Suspicious.
Fear Operators May Reduce Wage,
After Getting n SunnIY.

- eur operators NAY Aeduce Wages
After Getting n Supply.
Wilkesbarre, Oct. 10-The leaders of
the United Mine Workers of this part
of the anthracite coal field do not
speak as hopefully as they did OF a
settlement of the strike by the Scran-
ton convention. Some OF those inter
viewed are afraid that the offer of 10
per cent increase in wages made by the
companies may not last long, and that
after the men are back at work for
awhile and the market is pretty we'll
supplied the operators may reduce
wages to the old figure. 1t is only fair
to say, however, that not all the United
Mine Workers are of this opinion.
There Is strong sentiment prevail
ing that the companies are sincere, and
that the increase in wages will be per-
manent. 1t would help matters along
considerably in the convention IL there
was some one there authorized to
speak for the companies on this point.
But, of course, the companies will not
have a representative on the ground,
and II the convention appoints a COM
mittee, which it is most likely to do, to
find out from the operators how long
perio4 the Increase will hold good,
there is bound to be long delay be-
fore the committee will be able to re-
port The convention will meet at
Scranton on Fridaysnext.
