EARLY HARD-COAL
SCALE EXPECTED
Operators Declare Only Slight
Wage Increase Would Advance
Price of Anthracite
MINERS HALT PRODUCTION
by the Associated Press

New York, April 5.--Agreement on
a new wage contract for the anthracite
coal fields is expected within two weeks,
Philip Murray, international vice presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers. an
nounccd here today.
As soon as the committee of miners
and operators conducting negotiations
district convention will be called, prob
ably Mt Wilkes Barre, to ratify or re-
ject the proposed contract.
At today's session operators began
presenting the last of their statistical
data and arguments combating de-
mands for n so per cent wage increase.
They indicated that they would offer
n contract quite different to that pro-
posed by the workers. Operators pointed
out that ''only slight" wage in
crease granted the miners would in
crease the price of coal.
Mine workers officials said the real
struggle will center on the wage ques-
tion. They said they would refuse to
consider any advance less than that
granted soft coal miners.
The demand for a six hour day and
five-day week. it was indicated, will not
be pressed. The fight for the "check
off, and closed shop will be pushed,
union men declared.
Reading. April 5.--CBy A. PIT is
estimated here today that the loss in
production because Of idlencss during
the last few days at the anthracite
mines will amount to 125 900 tons. Very
little coal was mined at the Reading
Coal and Iron CO.. collicrps thus far
this month and it is not likely that the
men will all get back to work before
tomorrow.
Little anthracite has beer received at
Schuylkill Valley towns during the last
few days and it is understood that when
the fuel does start to come in, which
will not be before Wednesday, the price
will be based upon the new scale to be
adopted by the mineworkcrs officials
and coal operators.
Only few of the mines of the Read =
ing Coal and Iron Co. were in opera =
tior today and most of these are short
handed. Thousands of the men failed
to show up notwithstanding the great
demand for coal. Little anthracite has
been brought down from the Schuylkill
mines since Friday last and this was
loaded at the breakers on the Thursday
previous.
