commencing April l, 1916, and ending
March 81, 1918, and that the making
of individual agreements and contracts
in the mining of coal shall be pro-
hibited.
2. We demand an increase of 20
per cent on all wage rates now being
paid in the anthracite coal fields.
8. We demand an eight hour work
day for alt day labor employed in and
around the mines, the. present rates
to be the basis upon which the ad-
vance above demanded shall apply,
with time and half time for overtime
nd double time for Sundays and
holidays. 81 ssS 80
4. We demand full and complete
recognition Of the United Mine Work

9, anthracite. @
s. We demand a more sfmplfled,
speedy and satisfactory method Of adj
iusting grievances.
6. We demand that no contract
miner shall be permitted to have more

z. We demand that the selling
nrice of coal-mining supplies to miners
TO fixed on a more equitbale and uni

10. We demand that the arrange
ments of detailed wage scales and the
settlement of internal questions, both
as regards prices and conditions, be
referred to representative Of the

Probably the most important of
these provisions is the effect they will
have on future conditions in the an

recognition. a speedy system of set
Ting grievances and the last demand
that detailed matters shall be worked
out in each distict by conferences of

BY this last clause, President White

Element, and has instituted a system
to bring operators and miners into
closer relationship for mutual under
standing and voluntary arbitration of
matters peculiar to the districts.
