REFUSE THE MINER
Revolutionary Demands Reject
ed by Central Operators Today.
Men Have Set November 1 as
Date for Strike.

Buffalo. n. Y, Sept. 29.-Demands
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica for a six hour. five day week, 60
per cent increase in wages and other
concessions were formally rejected by
operators of the central competitive
district today. This district embraces
coal mine owners of western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. The
miners have set November / as a date
for a nationwide strike in the event
the demands are not met by that
time.
Thomas T. Brewster of st. Louis.
chairman of the operators, presided.
and John L. Lewis acting president of
the United Mine Workers, was spokes-
man for the miners. p. H. Bonner Of
Terre Haute, Ind, spoke for the oper-
ators.
The demands of the men have been
called the most revolutionary demands
in the history of the industry, involv-
ing an increase in pay from the pres
ent standard of IS a day to IS a day
for approximately 10000 men.
Two blanket reasons were given for
the rejection of the demands:
First-That the miners are now
working under a contract which does
not expire until April /. 1920.
Second-That the miners are at the
. conference with no power to act final
" but must report to their member
ship at a reconvened convention
For these reasons our demands
have been swept clear off the table -
said President Lewis. when we came
to this conference we believed that
each of our demands were to be dealt
with on their merits. Instead we find
that they are all rejected because it Is
claimed that the present contracts
hold good. and because we have no
