329. In reference to arbitration, Presi-
dent Mitchell said:
THE advantages to miners and oper-
ators alike, where mutual contracts
are entered into for a given period of
time. having become SO obvious that
/ am convinced that even more satis-
factory results would accrue to each
and greater stability and permanence
be given the coal trade if contracts
were entered into which would insure
uninterrupted employment for a period
of two years instead of one; and
should advise that our delegation pro-
pose TO the operators at the joint con-
Vention that the agreement, II one he
enacted, be made 10 continue for two
years. and as n further protection
against, strikes which are caused
through misnterpretation or mlsundar-
standings of the provisions of our
joint agreements, | would recommen
that our organization propose to the
operators the formation Of joint
board of arbitration and concliation.
whose duty It shall be to adjust ali
disputes arising between the operators
ana miners over the construction or in
terpretation Of the provisions Of the
