Red Agitators Busy
In Hard Coal Area
Delay in Fixing Wage
agreement Utilized to
Stir Up Outla,u Strike

Officials of the Anthracite Miners
Union who returned from their homes
last night to attend continued sessions
of the subcommittee of miners and
operators which has been trying to
formulate new wage scale here for
some time, announced that delay in
reaching an areement was giving radi-
cal elements chance for agitation.
Communist propaganda, it was said,
is at work throughout the Pennsylvania
mines, especially in the Shamokin and
Mahany districts. Posters Of violent
ly radical nature have been pasted on
houses and fences after nightfall and
much inflammatory literature is being
distributed secretly
The radicals, it was said, are using
the delay in the publication of the new
wage agreement to incite the miners to
an outlaw strike. Several times already
the men have almost got out of hand.
The sub committee last night issued
this statement:
mine workers and operators met to-
night and resumed consideration of the
matters pending before the committee.
Upon the question of wage increase
large part of the session was devoted
to an effort to reach basic conclusion
upon which to predicate an adequate
wage scale to the anthracite workers.
The committee will meet tomorrow"
New-York tribune., 1920-04-20

IN the. meantime, he added, it is pos
slble, the situation may be cleared up,
IN which event the investigation might
be put off Indefinitely.

ference, and where such dispute is not
decided in such conference to refer
it to this board to hear and decide,
and it is further contemplated and
provided by the law that pending such
conference reference to and hearing
by this board it shall be the duty of ali
carriers, their officers, employees and
agents to exert every+reasonable effort
and adopt every available means to
avoid any interruption to the operation

railroad men of all crafts in various
cities 'who have quit work" appeared
at the Offices of the board o-day, de-
manding assurances of a Substantial l
guaranty of increased wages" which.
they said, would send strikers back to
work. They composed an unorganized
association. they said, known as the
Railroad Workers of America, and in
sisted they still retained their member

they had not Struck" but had only

City Warned of Staten
Island Trolley Strike
Delegation of Workers De.
mands Wage Raise Soon After
Lines Are Taken Over

1t was announced yesterday that the
city intended to begin the operation
of trolley cars on the Midland Rail-
way Company lines on Staten Island,
which have been imperative for two
months. Not long after this dele
cation of employees of the Richmond
Light and Railroad Company, which
operates the lines, called upon Major
La Guardia, President of the Board Of
Aldermen, to notify the city that they
intended to strike unless their de-
mands were granted.
The employees told Major La Guar
dia they contemplated striking for
higher wages, but they desired to give
the city fair warning. The Alder
manic President escorted the delega-
tion to Mayor Hylan's office and the
complaint was repeated. The Mayor
told the delegation there was no doubt
the company would welcome a
strike because it would help the higher
fare propaganda. He informed them
the wage dispute between the company
and its employees was not matter for
the city authorities unless a request
was made by both sides that the city
act as arbiter
for the Midland Railroad Company,
seid yesterday the city would probably
begin the operation of the lines of the
system within two or three days. The
question of rental has been settled
except for a few minor details. 1t is
understood the annual sum Of $4,000,
the amount of interest at per cent on

will be the rental The city will op-
crate the cars on five-ccnt fare

ment of Plant and Structures, was ap-
