a Soft Coal Plot?

Pittsburg. March G.-The word has
been passed out In Pittsburg among
the independent as well as other coal
operators that n strike in the anthra-
cite regions has been decided on. that
II will be "A forced strike and that the
bi;uminous operators. many OF whom
are hesitating about paying the adj
vance demanded by the miners here.
will be greatly benefited
The assurance that the anthracite
s,r!ke is ~ good as on IL one nf the
Inducements now being held out TO
the baking independent operators.
II Is openly asserted by those in a
position To know that such action has
been discussed by President John
Mitchell. OF the United Mine Workers.
and Chairman Francis l.. Robbins. of
the Pittsburg Coal Company.
Mitchell has been positively assured
that If strike in the anthracite re-
goin is guaranteed to the bituminous
operators the soft coal miners will re-
ceiye an advance that will force the
anthracite operators to raise their pay
to the miners. and that there will be
little trouble in securing a good ad-
vance in the bituminous region. not
only in territory covered by the Pitts
burg Coal Company. but by other ope-
rators. Independent and otherwise.
Just what answer Mitchell made TO
this proposition is not made public,
but the fact remains that independent
operators in the Pittsburg district say
they have been assured that there will
be strike in the anthracite region.
and that It will be a good one. Some
OF the operators have changed their
minds and will vote for an advance to
the miners here
Make the anthracite people come
up 10 the mark, or close their mines.
and we will deal with you. II you
don't. we may deal with you anyway
on the advance. but we Will stop the
'check-or and you know what that
will mean"
That was the cold way in which the
proposition was handed to John Mitch
ell within the last seventy-two hours
by Robbins. or his personal represen-
tative. and II has made Mitchell think.
The adjustment of the "checkoff"
by the bituminous operators, II is de-
clared, would Kill the miners union
The "check-off'' is toll collected from
the miners pay envelopes by the
operators for the United Mine Work
ers That Is how the union is kept up
All admit that ii left to the miners
themselves the dues would not be
paid The threat to stop this collect
ing or "holding out" from the miners
pay has had its effect.
The object of the move IS 10 boost
bituminous prices and get into the
eastern markets long controlled by
the anthracite people. as soon as their
mines are made idle by strike.
