AND OPERATORS HAVE
FAILED TO AGREE ON WAGE
,.ScALE,

'-.t'.f
CLEVELAND, o., March 23-Nego'
tIations between the 100000 miners In
the bituminous coal lelds.of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and ILL.,
nois and the operators, for an adjust
ment OF wage differences late last
night were postponed until next Tues.
day.
Miners Refuse Compromise
Two compromise offers by the opc'
rators were voted down by the miners
These offers were'
That the present wage and WORKING
scale be continued for two years after
its expiration on April first.
That there be no suspension OF the
mines on any account.
The miners lad asked for a Ten
per cent. increaseln pay and a short
aning of working hours. AS against
this, the, operatorshad asked that The
wage scale be cutsdown ten per cent
The off;r of the operators TO continue
the present wage, scale was In tn.
nature OF a sEompFop1ise.
Indications that the operators and
miners delegatesawo not coire to
ali immediate settlement were shown
In. the afternoon when a sub!commlt
tee. composedSof eight miners and
eight operators, began considering Q
compromise which they were to report
back to the full conference.
Thefdll conference, composed OF "a
members, forFtwo days had heard the
demands of the miners, for azten pei
cent. increase and a reduction Of
days working hour from $ to Z, viii
five hours on Saturday aud has FAILED
TO agree. The whole dispute then llat
been referred to the subcommittee.
President White Talks.
When the subcommittee met The
miners renewed their demands. JOhI
?. White. president Of the United MINI
Workers OF America, told the com
mittee:
Conditions are such that the Goa
miners of this country cannot, Will
their present pay, live as they ough
10. They are not OIL a par with otNe
labor and we will not continue to %orl
after April, with our present pay an
long working hours. II our demand
are granted we will go right on With
out n suspension; Il they are denied o
modified we will suspend"
The eight operators replied that TIL
demands altogether would cause 2
per cent. increase in the pay roll AM
that this increase was not warranteD
by the present eQrning power OF tn
mines. This position was taken en-
phatically by Z. A. Cole. representa-
tie Ohio operators, and H. N. Taylol
representing tNo@llllnois operators
They then argued that tile present pa
should be reduced 10 per cent. TIL
result was that some suggested thu
continuation Of the present seal
With no shut do&iof the mines wonl
be a compromise
A vote showed the miners unal
nous in their rejection. OF the con
promise. The subcommittee thenat
journed to report,bapk to the full col
ference at { O'Clock last night.
