ANTHRACITE STRIKE
COMPLICATED BY
BITUMINOUS
SITUATION
Operators in Hard Coal Field
Determined Never to Recog-
Onize Union Controlled by
Workers in Rival Industry.
RELY ON FINDINGS OF
ROOSEVELT COMMISSION

(ny Evening neraId a. y. Leased Nlrcl
New York, April 5.--The anthracite
coal operators took cognizancc today
of widespread reports that the Bilno
Workers are planning 70 press their
demands for recognition OF the United
Mine Workers of America, by issuing
a statement dcclUriuR they "are Will
ing TO stand absolutely upon Che de-
cison OF the anthracite strike COM
mission with rcHpect 10 this demand -
Following h the statement In part:
The operators have consistently
held that Il was unreasonable 20 ask
them 90 enter into n contract with IA
union controlled by workers engaged
in bituminots mining. d rival indus
try. They were upheld In this by the
strike commission which declared
that the first Fcuuisitc for trade
agreements Ia thn anthracite indus
try should be an organization gov
crnCd by the anthracite mine work
crs and free from control or dicta-
tion by the bituminous mine work
ors." None OF the reforms In orEun-
izatiOn that the commission recon-
moudcd have heen made and today
the operators are asked TO do pre-
cisciy the thing which the commits
sion with fuu power declined to di-
rect them To do.
Another conclusive reason why the
anthracite operators fnoulu not Eet-
0guize tho United Mine Workers OF
America as a party 60 contract Is
that not nearly all the anthracite
mine workers--not even a majority
are members OF that union"
Preliminary TO the conference OF
the anthracite operators and repre-
sontatlvos of the Mine Workers union
az Philadelphia, next Wednesday, "A
meeting OF the committee Of ten OF
the coal operators will be held IN
this city on April =.
The committee OF ten purposes "a
go over the sitnttion carefully and
determine what moves will ha made
at the next days conference with the
miners. The operators VIII not make
public the resuitf OF the Tuesday
meeting.
Tho operators say they have no ex-
pectation that n settlement OF the
present differfnce will be had az the
Philadelphia cOnteroncc and that u
settlement rs TO come without q
strike two or three conferences are
lllxoly. The anthracite men here
think that the present suspension IN
