nois. told the mine workers, In joint
wage conference. to-day that coal mine
owners are not sharing in present

The operators offered TO renew the
wage scales now in effect in the four
states when they expire on March 81.
The mine workers, In presenting the
eleven demands formulated at the
indianapolis convention Of the union,
asserted that the bitumnous mining
industry was in an exceptionally pros
porous condition and that the coal
lsborers, for this reason, were justified
IN asking for wage increase and for
the betterment Of working conditions.
John ?. White, international presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers, pre-
scented the demands of the men after
the election Of Hugh Shirkie, al oper-
