workers and operators and Secretary
of Labor Wilson, failed to bring a
wage-scale agreement acceptable TO
both sides, but negotiations were not
broken off. The joint committee will
meet again with Secretary Wilson,
Monday, to resume discussion.
The situation was summarized in a
brief statement by the joint scale
committee of operators and miners
issued after the session. which said
that each side presented to the
secretary reasons substantiating their
positions as affecting the wage ne
gotations." No compromise proposal
has yet been matured. it was said.

Anthracite wage-scale negotiations
have been in progress for some weeks
between the operators and miners, but
finally came to deadlock.
The miners agreed TO make new
contract on a basis Of a q per cent
general increase in wages with some
changes in working conditions
This proposal. the miners contend
ed, corresponded to that made to the
coal strike settlement commission for
the bltuminous industry. Operators
rendered only IL per cent increase
and Secretary Wilson asked both par
ties to bring the matter before him.
