New York, Feb. 27.-The Roose-
velt anthracite coal compact of 1902
will expire on April /, after having
been twice renewed by the miners
and operators. Previous to each re-
newal demands for increase in wages
and other concessions were made by
the miners, but they were fatty de-
MED by the operators. Strikes were
threatened, but eventually the lead
ers of the miners yielded.
Now the miners have renewed
their demands and again threaten to
strike, unless they are granted. The
demands were formally laid before
the operators at a meeting today in
New York.
Admitting that the Roosevelt
agreement met Industrial conditions
prevailing 10 years ago, the miners
say it was not intended to be per-
petual and that the increased cost of
living since 1902 makes necessary
an increase in wages.
II strike is declared it will af-
feet 1S0,0 mine workers and many
thousands of railroaders, teamsters
and others as well and will deprive
the coal region of wages amounting
to about $40, 200, 900 a month.
The mine workers have for the last
nine years been working dnder an
agreement made by the Roosevelt
strike commission, appointed In
1902. 1t was for three years and has
been twice renewed. 1t granted the
mine workers a 10 per cent increase
in wages and a nine-hour day, with a
sliding scale based on the sale price
OF coal at ticewater. The latter has
given them an average monthly ad-
vance in wages of almost 4 per cent.
They now demand a 90 per cent
increase in wages, an eight-hour day,

Ianies of the union dues from the

q MILE UHOERoROuNo

They say there has been practic-
ally no change in the agreement
adopted nine years ago, when the
strike commission appointed by
Roosevelt examined the conditions
throughout the region, heard evil
dence of both sides and then made an
arbitrary agreement which each side
was pledged to accept.
AS for the abolition of the concil-
iation board, a demand which has
aroused more criticism in the coal
region than any other, the mine
workers say its method of settling
disputes is too slow and is far from
satisfactory.
On the other hand, the coal oper-
ators declare there has been no
change in mining conditions; that
the demands, with the exception OF
the one for the 30 per cent increase
in wages, are the same as those
which the strike commission consid.
cred and settled and that it is USE
less TO go over them again.
