TROUBLE IS LOOMING
Over Ire Mining Situation Where
They Dig the Anthracite
Black Diamonds.
MITCHELL DIsLIKEs THE OUTLOOK
Operators Decline to Negotiate with
the Union, While Paying Union
Wage Scales.

Philadelphia, March 11.-Anticipat-
Ing the convention of the United Mine
Workers of America ut HaZelton, Pa,
this week the coal operators through
out the anthracite region Saturday
posted notices announcing that the 10
percent. advance in wages and other
concessions made to the miners last
November would be continued until
April l, 1902. and that local differences
would be adjusted with the employees
of the respective collieries. This ac-
ton, it is understood, was determined
upon a week ago. and is said TO have
been the result of i desire on the part
of the operators to avoid conference
with the miners.
Will Not Recognize the Union.
Notices have been posted ut all
mines operated by the following COM
panies: The Reading Coal and Iron
company. the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany, Delaware and Hudson, Pennsyl-
vania railroad, Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western, Central railroad of
New Jersey PENNSYLVANIA Coal COM
pany NOW controlled by the Erie Rail
road company. and the Hillside Coal
company. While the officials of the
companies are reticent it is under
stood that they win positively decline
TO take part i'll the miners convention.
The request made by President Mitch
ell of the L. NJ. w. that the operators
send representatives to the conference
has thus far been for the most part
ignored. In one or two cases Il negative
reply was sent. The operators are said
to be anxious to avoid any action that
might be considered a recognition OF
the union.
VIII Treat with Their own Employees.
They have. however. expressed their
willingness to treat with their own en-
ployeS when there are any grievances
to be adjusted. While the agreement
to continue the existing scale appears
to be unanimous all of the companies
do not favor the idea. An official of
one of the largest coal carrying roads
in the state said that the increased
wage scale keeps the selling price Of
coal too high, especially where anthra-
cite coal completes with the bituminous.
He said also that there is big de-
mand for anthracite coal at present,
and that the high price can be main
tanned only so long as the boom con-
tiI-neS.
Miners Who Want an Advance.
In only one instance thus far have
the miners openly expressed disap-
prevail of the scale. The employees of
the Mineral Railroad and Mining COM
pany in the Shamokin region say they
want a 6 per cent. advance to place
them on the same basis as the Reading
miners.

indianapolis, March 1.-THE presi-

Mitchell. left Saturday for HaZletOn,

the anthracite district have taken in
posting notices that the 10 per cent.
advance in wages and other conceS-
siOns made by them on Nov. I, 1900,
will he continued until April 1. 1902.
and that local differences will he adj
justed with employees at the various
collerieS.
Il am in no position at this time to
say anything" said Mitchell, but |
will make the emphatic statement that
posting notices is mighty poor way
Of adjusting differences. 1t seems to
me that with the experience the Penn
svlvania men have gained they would
