The Cairo bulletin., 1906-04-27

Mr.. John Mitchell, Chairman Inter
national Executive Board, U. NJ. w.
Of A., Indianapolis, Ind.
"Your telegraphic communication OF
the goth instant declining to arbitrate
the differences existing between the
operators and miners Of Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois, was submitted to meeting OF
operators of Ohio, Indiana and ILL
nois today, and as chairman OF such
meeting have been instructed to
make the following reply:
The reasons given by you for de-
clining to arbitrate are.
First That did not represent the
operators of those four states in max
ing the proposition TO arbtrate, es.
pecially the operators OF Western
Pennsylvania and the Hooking. Dis
rrict of Ohio, giving as your authority
a telegram from Francis l.. Robbins,
dated April 18th, reading as follows:
"Mr. Winder had no authority to
offer arbitration for Western Pennsyl.
vania, where mines are in operation
under contract, or for the Hooking
Valley Ohio operators representing
fifty per cent. of the Hooking output
also in operation under contract
Second. That for the past eight
eight years by mutual agreement,
rates at the basing points have been
arranged upon competitive relations
as nearly fair to all interests as pos
sible, and that many of our competi-
tors in Western Pennsylvania Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois have already con
ceded the justice of your claims and
are now operating their mines on the.
The Cairo bulletin., 1906-04-27

scale OF wages and conditions of EN-.
ployment existing under the scale of
l905' and that if my proposition to ar.
bitrate We're carried into effect, it
would tend to destroy the competitive
conditions which have been estab.
hshed by years of mutual agreement,
without the consent of operators who
are now paying the scale of 1903 and
who have heretofore been parties to
Joint agreements, and that this lotion
would be manifestly partial and un.
just to all concerned.
Third. That did not specify the
scope that the arbitration should take,
The Cairo bulletin., 1906-04-27

and that no arbitration would be fair
to you that did not take into consdera.
ton the earnings of company stores,
company houses or railroad companies
operating mines and docks, and other
subsidiary companies connected with
or incident to the production of coal.
! TO your first reason for declining
We answer as follows: We represent
all of the tonnage of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois which has not signed the
scale of 1908 as proposed by you.
which in the case of Ohio represents
more than ninety per cent of the total
tonnage of the state, and more than
Iseventy-iive per cent. of the tonnage
of the Hooking District, to which, you
make special references in the case
OF Indiana, more than ninety percent.
| OF the tonnage mined in that state,
and In the case of Illinois, more than
ninety per cent. of the tonnage mined
in thar state. AT the time my PROPOSE
ton was made To you | represented
about fifty per cent. of the tonnage of
Western Pennsylvania, which has
since signed partial contract, having
been forced to do so by the action af
the Pittsburg Coal company, but who
have as yet been unable to agree with
their miners on the question of local
differences
To your second reason for declining,
our answer Is that there is now no
agreement existing, under. which we
can operate on competitive basis,
the Interstate Agreement having been
terminated All of the tonnage mined
in the four states was included in my
proposition in order that there might
be no discrimination against any in
terest by any award by an arbitration
commission. We deny that arbitration
would tend to destroy competitive con.
ditions, but on the contrary, would
properly establish them and that this
Is the only means by which they can
be properly established at this time
new local conditions have arisen in |
some of the states, especially in the |
state of Illinois,
10 your tnlf treason, we reply. /
That we propose to arbitrate the rela-
tive price of mining between the |
various bituminous coal producing
states, the conditions of employment |
of labor. the system of collecting
Union dues, known commonly as the
"check-oif' system, the employment of /
either Union or non-Union labor with
out discrimination, and any and all |
other matters that affect the cost of |
production or the peace and pros
perity of the industry, and in arbi-
trating these matters, to give the
fullest scope TO the arhitrators, includ-
ing their right 70 inquire into the
from company stores, com
pany houses, or the earnings derived /
BY railroad companies from their in
-erest in coal mines, docks or other
companies connected with |
Of incident to the production of coal.
We request and urge an immediate
reply without equivocation, as to whe-
Their or not your organization will ar
Ditrate the differences existing be-
.ween us, upon the basis proposed in
he last clause Of this reply.
Please reply to Columbus, Ohio, ad.
