NJ AGREEMENT ON SCALE FOR MINERS Testimony Before Commission Used blythe Operators MITCHELL IS INSlSTENT Says He Does Not See Why the In- crease Cannot Apply Generally
 on Run of Mine
 Basis.

Indianapolis, January sl.-The open ses- sion of the miners and operators joint wage conference did not open this morn ing until almost 10 o'clock. Although it was generally understood that the scale | committee, which went into executive ses- sion yesterday, would have no report to make this morning, almost all of the 700 miners and delegates who are being held here to ratify settlement were present
 The committed however. did have formal report to make. The report showed that on the preliminary vote in executive session yesterday the operators voted unanimously not to grant the increase in wages or changes in standards of mining that were demanded by the miners. All demands made by the miners were voted on separately.
 Several operators addressed the confer ence, giving reasons why the increase de- manded should not be granted.
 Strike Testimony Given. Testimony given before the strike com mission was quoted by the speakers to show that the conditions in the bitumi- nous fields were better than those that existed in the anthracite fields. President Mitchell's testimony was repeated as proof of this argument.
 MT. Mitchell replied that while he said that the bitumnous miners were faring better than the anthracite men, his testi- mony could not be made to apply gen orally nor could it be shown that the average pay per capita was much better than that in the hard coal mines. The Illinois operators repeated their de- mands, and asked that they be given con sideration as were the miners Tn other states.
 F. l.. Robbins argued that a single mine basis increased the cost of coal mined; i; also decreased the quality and that In the Pittsburg district the only reason the companies could keep their trade under the system was that the coal mined there is of superior quality.
 Third of Coal Pick Mined.
 He said:
 "As to the differential, over one-third of the coal is pick mined. It is harder now to get pick miners than it is to get men to follow the machines. Instead of legislating for the pick miners, you are legislating against them"
 President Mitchell answered MT. Rob bins saying: "I cannot see why coal can not be mined on a mine-run basis as we'll in the Pittsburg districts as in the states west of the Mississippi or south of the Ohio. The only good reason there can be for wanting a screen basis Is that the operators get some advantage not con- templated in our contract. MT. Robbins says that one-third of the coal is pick mined I thought that it was more. But if that is so, it means that he would only pay an advance of two thirds"
 The, conference adjourned after hav- ing referred the entire matter back to the scale committee. It will meet Monday morning.
