THE DEMAND DENIED
 FOR INCREASED WAGES
Reply of Northern Colorado Coal Mine
 Owners to the Union.

Denver. March 12.-The coal operat- ors of the northern Colorado fields an nounced that rather than accede to the demands of the organized miners they would be forced to close. They based their reply on the new rate rulings of the interstate commerce commission. which, they assert. gives an advantage to the Walsenberg district mines, and also on the fact that many non-union mines work their men ten hours a day for the same wages that the organized miners get for eight hours work
 This reply was given today to B. 900 miners whose demands have been under consideration here for several days. In fact the operators met the miners demands with a counter propo- sition that instead of advancing wages, they must be lowered if the men ex- pect work at all.
 The operators conced the workers plea that the cost of living is greatly in excess of former years, but they contend that the recent rate decision gives the Walsenberg mines a big ad- vantage in shipping to Kansas, Nebras- ka and other states, and the fact that only 5000 of the 15.000 coal miners in Colorado belong to the union makes it impossible for the operators to meet the demands of the organized miners.
