NEW YORK; May 3.-On top OF
the great victories that the United
Mine Workers Of America have just
won for its mem bers and for unionsm
in Colorado and West Virginia comes
now the fruit of a successful confer
ence for a wage increase in the CEN
trail bituminous field of Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and western PENNSYLVANIA
This something more than 20 per
cent wage increase for 100000 mine
workers, secured by perfectly friendly
and business like negotiation with the
mine operators. will undoubtedly
mark new and historic epoch in the
progress of trades unionism, and in
the development of industrial equality
OF workers with employers The. col
1ective bargaining of two sets of free
men. free workers and free employers,
has been set forward a whole genera
ton and has been set on a sure and
permanent foundation by this notable
achievement Of the United Mine
Workers of America.
In the words of President John P.
White Of the Mine Workers:
The conference Just ended has set
A new mark for the prompt adjust
ment of relations between employers
and employees in spirit Of patriotism
and mutual accommodation, worthy
Of good citizens in this time of emer-
gency.
"Operators in the rreat bituminous
fields OF Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and
western PENNSYLVANIA have been quick
to appreciate the necessity of wage adj
vances to meet the difficulties laced
by miners who were anxious to do
thei. share and asked only for ade-
quate provision in the wage schedules
for the vital nesls of themselves and
their families. Substantial increases
have been agreed upon. and the min
ers will now go to work with re-
doubled energy, confident that the
family larder will not go empty and
that their families will not feel the
pinch of need.'
The substantial wage increase for
the miners (to keep pace with the
cost Of living) was in addition to the
bigger Increase in wages procured one
year ago. 1t is to go along with that
former increase in wages Of that
other contract until April I, 1918,
when a new contract is to be nego-
tiated.
The miners are to receive their adj
ditional money as steady wages, OBJ
tanned and guaranteed as a contract
and not as bonus" which might be
withdrawn by the employers.
