Scranton, Pa, Nov. l3.--Ihe answer
of the independent operators of the
Lackawanna and Wyoming region TO
the statement of President Mitchell Of
the niue workers, was made public last
uight.
In response TO the demand for an in
clease in wages they say that the pres
ent wages are such as to enable tho
liligent and skillful miner to earn more
per hour than any class of labor. skilled
or unskillcd, in the towns in which their
mines are located, and amply sufficient
to allow him not only to maintain Il good
standard living and educate his chill
dren. but to lay aside something for his
old age. That some miners wages are
small it is stated, is because they
choose to exercise their option to work
only Il few hours Il day.
In answering the contention that min
ing is extremely dangerous and I'M
healthy and tends to shorten life, tho
operators set forth Il petition recently
circulated in the interests of u candi-
date for mine inspector which con-
tained the names of 05 employees of one
,uinc, G6 of whom had worked in the
mine for 20 years or more, - for 40
years or more, and five for 30 years or
more.
The demand for the weighing of coal
and payment by the legal ton of 22IO
pounds instead of by the fictitious ton
Of POO or 5000 pounds is characterized
as a thnly disguised effort to secure
30 percent increase in wages. The
answer asserts that 275O pounds of coal
as it CONES from the mine is barely sur
ticient to produce Il 224Opound ton of
prepared coal.
Regarding the declaration of the
miners that labor unions improve tic
morals and discipline of their mem.
bers. this comment is made:
"This may be true when applied to
some organizations, but when applied
to the Miners union we enter most
emphatic denial. and propose to intro
duce evidence showing that prior to the
advent of the United Mine Workers Of
America it was considered bad form
to kill or main citizen who attempted
to exercise his constitutional right to
sell his labor, and that the vast num-
her OF brutal murders and beatings dur
ing the past five months show that the
teachings of the United Mine Workers
have brought about such mora ObliQuity
that its members believed themselves
justified in these acts; also that Off
GERS of the union justified this course
by furnishing bail and counsel for
those who have been guilty of these
atrOciOuS acts.
I'VE believe we will be bic to prove
such tremendous losses of life and
money as the direct results of the
methods of this particular union as TO
convince your honorable commission
that it is not eXpedient to do any act
which may contribute to it's continued
exercise
