OF NEW DEMANDS
Ten and Twenty Per Cent. In
crease Meets With Salts
faction
By dswe:ssfd Prsss

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. 29.-Gen-
by the delegates to the convention OF
the United Mine Workers OF Amer
lea with the demands agreed upon yes
terday to be presented to the coal
operators in the negotiations for new
wage agreements this year. The
miners had general knowledge that
an increase would be asked for and
they were we'll pleased when they
learned ten per cent. would be asked
for the soft coal miners and twenty
per cent. for men paid by the day.
There was also a feeling of conf
dence among the mine workers. OF
both the anthracite and bituminous
fields that the operators will conclude
a satisfactory agreement.
The mine workers point to the fact
that there has been no change in
wages in the anthracite fields for four
years and virtually none in the bitumi-
nous districts of Western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other
States in the same time.
Anthracite men are hoping they
will not only receive an advance in
wages but will be able to negotiate an
agreement for not more than two
years. Leaders from the hard coal
fields here say they have informa-
ton that if concessions are made by
the anthracite operators the employers
will demand a five-year contract. The
miners organization is opposed to
longterm contracts. One reason is
that in districts where there is no
check-o off system it is difficult to hold
the membership together.
With the wage scale question out
of the way the convention to-day took
up matters affecting the organization.
Final adjournment will probably be
reached ahnuf TnRsdaN-

SECOND STREET PAVING

City Commissioner Lynch is being
generally commended for his decision
to continue the paving in Second
street from Emerald to Schuylkill.
Last year an ordinance was passed
providing for the paving of the section
between Seneca and Schuylkill streets.
This left one block, between Emerald
and Seneca, and would have created
an unfortunate condition. Commis-
sioner Lynch Is now inviting proposals
for the block between Emerald and
Seneca which will provide for a con-
tinuous paving of Second street from
Emerald to Schuylkill during this

Hazleton. Pa. Jan. 2e.-Coal COM
panies of the anthracite field have
the right during slack times to sus-
pend union engineers. firemen and
pump runners and fill their places
with unorganized monthly salaried
men, according to a decision handed
down here to-day by Charles P. Neill,

ance of the United Mine Workers

pany and Coke Brothers and Com
pany. Inc. which resulted in a strike
last Spring at Jeanesville. The claim
was made by the mine workers that
engineers. firemen and pump run
ners were protected by the award of
