Washington, March l3.-In an
opinion by Justice Mckenna, the su-
premc court of the United States yes
terday decided the cases against the
witnesses in the paper trust" cases,
holding that they should answer ques-

anthracite OPERATORS
REFUSE Miners DEMANDS

New York, March l2-The demands
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea for REIMBURSEMENT of wages has
been considered and denied by the
committee representing the anthracite
operators. Az "a counter proposition
the operators suggest that the awards
made by the anthracite coal strike
commission, the principles upon which
they we're established by the commits
sion, and the methods established for
carrying out their findings and awards
shall be continued for IA further term
of three years from the first day of
April next. The present agreement
terminates March 81 of this year.
Announcement of the anthracite OPP
orators decision and their counter
proposition was made in "a long formal
statement, which was given out for
publication. This statement includes
the correspondence on the subject mt
issue between President John Mitch
ell, Of the United Mine Workers, act
ing for the miners, and George +.
Baer, president of the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal and Iron Company, for
the operators. 1t discusses the min
ers' proposition in detail.
Reasons Given by Operators.
In every instance the contention is
made by the operators either that the
conditions in the coal fields do not
warrant the change proposed by the
miners, or that the questions at issue
already have been acted upon by the
strike commission.
The demand of the miners that the
operators enter into an agreement with
the union ia declined on the ground
that the anthracite operators "stand
unalterably for the open shop and
again decline to make an agreement
with the United Mine Workers of
America, an organization controlled
by IL rival industry.
Of the demand for an eight hour
day the statement says the operators
know of no change in conditions that
can be used to sustain the renewed de
mand for redcution in hours; de-
clares that the declaration of the strike
committee that the reduction from
ten to nine hours would not result in
any decrease in the output of the
mines has not been realized, and adds:
1--WE might justly say that with the
experience of the past three years, the
ten hour day should be restored, but
We are willing to abide by the decision
of the commission"
The proposition that a uniform scale
of wages be established in the anthra.
cite fields is met by the operators with
the reply that this would be impract-
cable by reason of the varying capaci-
ties of the workmen and the varying
conditions existing in the region and
at the collieries.
ave cannot increase wages without
avancing the price of coal, and we are
not willing to advance the price of
COAL" is the reply to general demand
for n general increase in wages.
