OPERATORS AGREt
 10 | COMMISSION.
Continued from First Page)

(Continued from First Page) by the destruction of property and the fear of death or bodily harm to every ] man who wishes to exercise his right to 1 work. A schedule is annexed hereto showing some of the things done to create this reign of terror, and every instance stat ed can be verified by reference to the officers of the law-civil and military in the anthracite region. This violence has continued and steadily increased. notwithstanding repeated disavowals by MT. Mitchell, and it is clear that he either cannot or will not prevent it, and that the rights of the other workmen cannot be protected under the suprem- acy of the Mine Workers union.
 The coal companies believe that the wages paid in the coal regions are fair and full, and all that the business in it's normal condition has been able to stand if the capital invested is to have any reasonable return.
 The profits have been small, several of the companies have become bankrupt and been re-organized several times. Several have never paid dividends, and the dividends of the others have been a small return for the capital invested It is not, however, the purpose of this statement to discuss this question. The undersigned are not, and never have been unwilling to submit all questions between them and their workmen to any fair tribunal for decision. They are not willing to enter into arbitration with the Mine Workers union, an or ganization chiefly composed of men IT a rival and competitive interest, and they are not willing to make any ar rangement which will not secure to the men now working, and all now or here after wish to work whether they be- long to the Mine Workers union or not the right and opportunity to work il safety and without personal insult O bodily harm to themselves or thei families. For these reasons the arbi trations heretofore proposed have beel declined.
 It will be remembered that at tn conference in Washington. Octobe 9rd, we made the following offer: Ina we would take up at each colliery an alleged grievance, and in the event a failure to make satisfactory adjust ment the questions at issue to be sut mitted to the final decision of tf judges of the court of common pleas the district in which the colliery is l' cated. This offer was made by us good faith and we desire here to req
 firm it.
 The coal companies realize that u
 urgent public need of coal and the al
 prehension of an inadequate supply f

companies desire to make effort to that end which does not involve the aban- donment of the interests committed to their care and os the men who are working and seeking to work in their l mines. This responsibility they must l bear and meet as best they can. They therefore restate their position: That they are not discriminating | against the United Mine Workers, but thev insist that the miners union shall not discriminate against or refuse to work with non-union men; that there shall be no restriction or deterioration in quantity or quality Of work, and that owing to the varying physical condl- tions of the anthracite mines each col fiery is a problem by itself. We suggest a commission to be ap- pointed by the president of the Unlted States Cif he is willing to perform that public service) to whom shall De re- ferred all questions at issue between the respective companies and their own employes. whether they belong to a | union ar not, and the decision of that commission shall be accepted by us.
 The commission to be constituted as follows:
 1-An officer in the engineer corps ot 1 either the military or naval service or the United States.
 2-An expert mining engineer. experi- enced in the mining of coal and other minerals, and not in any way connect ed with coal mining properties, either anthracite or bituminous.
 3-One of the judges of the United States courts of, the eastern district of Pennsylvania.
 "A man of prominence, eminent as a sociologist.
 IA man who, by active participa- tion in mining and selling coal is fa- miliar with the physical and commer- cial features of the business. It being the understanding that i'm mediately upon the execution of sucf commission, in order that idleness ant Inon-production may cease instantly the miners will return to work ant cease all interference with and perse cution of any non-union men who ar working or shall hereafter work. The findings of this commission shal fix the date when the same shall be ef fective, and shall govern the condition of employment between the respectiv companies and their employees for
 term of at least three years.
