COAL MINERS DEMANDS
NOW TO BE RE ARBITRATED
What the Men Ask of Oper-
ators According toMitchell.

In his public statement issued OF Sep
tember IS President Mitchell outlined
the demands Of the miners in general
terms as follows:
81 An increase in wages for men en-
pioyed on piece work
'2. A reduction in the Eours of labor
for men employed by the day
"3. Payment for q legal ton OF coal
II That the coal We mine shall be
honestly weighed and correctly weighed.
"5. we favor Incorporating in an
agreement the wages that shall be paid
and the conditions of employment that
shall obtain for a specified period.
In more specific terms Mr. Mitchell in
June, stated In writing to Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, who was then making a per
sonaI investigation OF the strike situa-
ton for the President, that the following
we're the miners demands
81. That there shall be an Increase OF
20 per cent TO the miners who are paid
by the ton-that is. for men performing
contract work. These men involve about
40 per cent OF the miners
%. A reduction of % per cent in the
time OF per diem employees The mines
are operated about 200 days in the
year, ten hours a day. This demand,
if granted. would result in reducing the
day 70 eight hours, so that the mines
would be operated 240 days at about the
same pay 40 increase in the rates Of
per diem employees is demanded.
"3. That 2.240 pounds shall constitute
a ton on which payment is based for
all coal mined where the miners are
paid by weight. This would apply in
any district where weighing coal would
be practicable, and to those miners who
are paid by the quantity and not to
those paid by the day"
Later. according 10 Mr. Wright's re-
port. the miners offered to accept one
half Of what they lad at first demanded
or 10 per cent Increase in the pay per
ton where mining IS paid in that man
ner. and 10 per cent decrease in the
working day.
