Psnnsylvanis Miners and Operators Win
Have Many Grievances to Submit TO the
Consultation Board.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 22.-Wher
the Cancellation board meets here on
Thursday the operators will have
grievances to be adjusted as well q
The miners and this will be sur
prise to many OF the latter, who be-
lieved taht the coal companies had
nothing to complain of. The oper-
ators will take exceptions to the
many petty strikes, which are the
cause of much Inconvenience and an
noyance, also that the non-union men
are being interfered with and that
the coal output is lessened by the
practice of employees remaining at
home on certain days without per-
mission.
The miners will offset with the
charge of discrimination that some Of
the men active in the strike have
not been given work since; that the
award Of the commission has been
violated by change in the condition
of mining at many places, which
does not permit the miners to make
as much now as before the strike and
that the operators have broken
other customs in the Schuylkill re-
gion by having the men work an
hour longer on Saturday. Among
other important questions which the
miners want settled will be the re-
duction Of yardage, check weighmen,
hours Of labor for drivers and COM
pany hands.
