ROBBINS DENIES REPORT.
Says There Has Been No CHANGE in
Strike Situation.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 25.-Francis L.
Robbins, chairman of the executive
board of the Pittsburg Coal company.
and one of the operators who was a
party to the interstate agreement, was
rot in the city tonight, but earlier in
the day he said:
There has been no change in the
situation between the bituminous coal
operators and the United Mine Work
ers regarding the arrangement of
new wage agreement for the year
starting April 1, next. There can be
no compromise offer to the miners
without a meeting of the operators

agreement and no such meeting has
been held nor has one been called. The
dispute between the miners and one
rators remains identically as it has
been since the adjournment of the Joint

Must Grant Advance.

THE anthracite operators must now
grant an advance, in view OF the &C
ton of the piJuminous operators.
THE details will be worked out later,
and probably through a special nation
al convention of the mine workers.
For two years it has been my deter
mined purpose to have all wage agree
ments of the miners terminate on the
same date, so that unity Of action
might be secured without violating ex-
listing agreements on April l. 1906. The
first move in this direction was made
in Pittsburg, Kan, in the summer of
1904, when the expiration date of the
contract was extended from the end of
August to the end of March of this
year Practically all our agreements
expire March 81 next. By virtue of
this arrangement the mine workers of
the country are now in a position to
compel the operators TO deal with US
justly.
AT the recent joint convention I adj
vocated an advance for the miners be-
cause 1 believe they are entitled to it.
Collateral Industries Prosperous.
1.-The iron and steel industry and the
railroads of the country-very large
consumers of coal-were never more
prosperous than now. From admis-
sions made by those engaged in the
production of coal and dependent
largely upon the above named indus
try. it must have been apparent that
q few cents per ton advance to the mi
ners was not to stand in the way of
continued prosperous condition of the
iron, steel and railroad interests
THE operators at the recent Indian
apolis convention showed the strongest
evidence of the weakness of their posi-
ton when they ignored our arguments
that they could pay an advance and
still make a large profit. Develop
ments will prove additional facts,
namely: First, that some of the large
corporations represented at the recent
Indianapolis joint convention were not
in a position to make a successful re-
sistance of the miners demands Sec
end, that the great coal consuming
public will not materially suffer by
reason of the advance which will be
granted to the miners.
