mittees Of the miners and operators to-day
presented their respective scales to the
Joint State Conference. The miners de-
mand an advance Of cents per ton in
the Northern Illinois field. that the pay
Of day laborerS be advanced from S10 to
2.W per day Of eight hourB. and that
$35
The operators scale calls for the re-
adoption Of the present scale. and demands
that Illinois be placed upon a basis that
will be equitable in comparison with other
States represented In the Interstate agree
ment. and that the differential be made
more favorable than 1t is at present. This
dinerential is now based on 10 cents IN
the Danvflle district and cents for the
rest of the State.
The differential demanded by the opera
tors Is 19.2 cents for the Danville district.
which Is equivalent to the 29-cent rate for
screened coal In Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The afternoon was largely consumed IN
the efforts of the respective committees
to gain an advantage by having the other
scale presented first. The advance asked
for by the miners Is not as large as the
operators had expected --...r
The differentiai demanded by the opera
neers' fight Will be the main matters Of con-
tention that will engage the joint confer
ence. The conference viii take up the
consideration OF the situation in West VIZ
g1nia tomorrow.
