90 PER CENT INCREASE
ASKED BY MINERS
Conference of Operators and Mine
Workers Will Meet Next Month
to Try to Negotiate New
Agreement.

Philadelphia, March demands for
90 per cent increase in wages for con
tract miners, 81 day raise for day
men, and six hour day and fiye-day
week for men paid by the day or
month. viii be presented to the anthra-
cite coal operators in New York on
March 8 by the union representatives
of the hard coal diggers. These de-
mands were formulated at convention
Of anthracite miners in Wilkes Barre
last August and ratified by the national
convention of the United Mine Workers
of America in Cleveland in September.
The conference OF operators and mine
workers next month will endeavor TO
negotiate a new agreement to take the
place Of the contract now in force,
The present general wage agreement
covering the anthracite industry was
entered into in May, 1915, for four
years ending March 81 this year, Be
cause of war conditions, wages have
been since readjusted by supplemental
agreements between the miners and
operators.
About 10000 mine workers will be
affected by the new contract TO be ne
gotiated. The miners scale committee
which will meet the operators will be
composed of the officers and executive
board members Of the three districts
comprising the anthracite fields. the
three international board members in
the hard coal regions and three mine
workers from each district. No an
nouneement has been made as to the
number of men who will represent the
coal mine owners II is expected, how
ever, that after the demands are form.
ally presented and views are exchanged
between the two sides, small sub
committee will be named to carry on
the actual negotiations.
When in final form the agreement
will be presented TO the full committee
for adoption. In the case of the min
ers, the agreement will have to go back
to a convention of the mine workers
for ratification.
Whether the mine workers will re-
main at work if an agreement is not
reached by March 81 viii depend large
ly, il is said, ON how strenuously the
operators oppose the demands. No
opinion has thus far been given by
either side as to the outcome of the
negotiations The opinion was ex-
pressed, however, that the negotiations
probably would not be taken up Sc
riously until the bituminous wage scale
has been agreed upon.
The demands of the mine workers
are as follows:
THAT the next contract be for a
period Of not exceeding two years and
that the making Of individual agree
ments and contracts in the mining of
coal shall be prosecuted.
"The contract wages scales be in.
creased 60 per cent, and that the in
creases secured in the supplemental
agreements of 1917 and 1918 shall be
included in the wage scale as the basis
upon which the 80 per cent shall be
added and that all day men be granted
an increase of 81 per day
