The New Demands.

This continued the old rates and the
sliding scale. All agreements, it must
he clearly remembered, are entered
into by representatives of the mine
workers OF three districts, Nos. l, Z
and 50, and not by the United Mine
Workers as an organization. Now,
after three years the miners present
their new demands and assert that the
rejection of them will mean strike
of all the anthracite mine workers, be-
ginning April /. Power Is given to the
| Joint scale committee, which is to con-
fer with the operators. to call for a
/ suspension Of work in the event of the
demands being refused.
The demands, nine In number, are
all important. They are:
That the next contract be for a period
OF one year. commencing April l. 1912. and
| ending March 81, 1913.
A work day OF not more than eight
| hours for all inside and outside day labor
! with no reduction in wages.
Recognition of the United Mine Work
! ers OF Districts l, I and as a party to
negotiate wage contract and the right
10 provide a method for the collection OF
revenue for the organization.
| more convenient and uniform system
| OF adjusting local grievances within a
reasonable time limit.
An advance of 20 per cent on the rates
/ OF wages for all employees over and above
the rates awarded in 1908.
/ A minimum rate OF $3.50 per day for
miners and s2B for laborers for consid-
GRAFTON work.
That the system whereby a contract
miner has more than one working place
be abolished.
That the rights OF the check weighmsn
and check docking bosses shall be recog-
nized and that they shall not be inter
tered with in the proper performance OF
their work.
That all coal shall be mined and paid
for by the ton Of a,2to pounds wherever
