CLEVELAND. o., March 1.-TWO
compromise offers by the operators were
voted down by the miners today. These
offers were:
That the present wage and working
scale be continued for two years after
Its expiration on April l.
That there be no suspension Of the
mines on any account
The miners had asked for n 10 per
cent increase in pay and a shortening OF
working hours As against this the
operators had asked that the wage scale
be cut 10 per cent. The offer Of the
operators TO continue the present wage
scale was In the nature OF compromise.
Indications that the operators and
miners delegates would MT come to an
Immediate settlement were shown in tho
afternoon. when subcommittee, COM
posed Of eight miners aud eight operators.
began considering a compromise which
they were to report back TO the full con-
ference.
The full conference. composed Of sixty
four members. for two days had heard
the demands OF the miners for 10 per
cent increase and a reduction Of days
working hours from eight to seven. with
five hours on saturday, and had failed
to agree. Inc whole dispute then had
been referred to the subcommittee.
white Presents Demands.
When the subcommittee met the min
ers renewed their demands. John p.
White, president OF the United Ailno
Workers Of America, told the committee:
Conditions are such that the coal min
ers Of this country cannot, with their
present pay. live as they ought to live.
They are not on q par with other labor.
and we viii not continue to work after
April ! with our present pay and long
working hours II our demands are met
We will so right on without suspen-
sion. if they are denied or modified We
viii suspend
The eight operators replied that the de-
mands altogether would cause a % per
cent increase In the pay roll, and that
this increase was not warranted by the
present earning power Of the mines. This
position was taken emphatIcslly by +.
A. Cole. representing the omio operators.
and II. NJ. Taylor. representing the IIi-
nols operators. They then argued that
the present pay should be reduced 10 per
cent. Tho result was that some sug-
gested that a continuation OF the present
scale with no shutdown Of the mines
would be . compromise.
A vote showed the miners were unani-
nous in their reJection Of the compromise.
The subcommittee then adjourned to
report back to the full conference ct
o'clock tonight.
The operators made II known that any
failure to agree at this time was not

ing on call. IL any change developed
