SCRANTON, Sept. 2.-Anthracite
operators and miners tonight signed
a two-ycar contract embodylng the
terms of the award made by the an
thraclte coal commission and ap-
proved by President Wilson. The
agreement was signed under protest
by the representatives Of the miners,
whose scale committee will meet here
tomorrow. for tho purpose OF asking
that the wage agreement be reopened
and the mine workers given such fur
thcr increase as was done in the case
Of tho bituminous coal diggers.
The scale committee went on record
in a statement to the operators that
the award Of the commission was
far from Eelng satisfactory" and that
1t was economically unsound, dis
turbcd the differcntials, straddled the
real issues would cause confusion and
react against harmony and co-opera-
tion.
Ready TO Present New Demands.
The miners were prepared to pre-
sent new demands mt once, but 1t is
understood the operators let 1t be
known they were there to accept the
award as approved by President Will
son and t&at if the workers had any
thing further to communicate 1t
would have to go through regular
channels.
1t was said the miners scale COM
mittee might decide tomorrow to
communicate directly with President
Wilson requesting him to have the
wage agreement reopened.
While the negotiations were going
on today it was estimated half of the
10000 mine workers of all classes
in the anthracite regions had quit
work as a protest against the award
The United Mine Workers organiza-
ton has called no strike and the
suspension, which has been termed n
vacation" by the men, has not been
authorized. union headers declared.
One of the union chiefs said 1t was

diggcrs as n protest against the
award.

4 complication in the present stu
alton is the action of so-called in
SuTSeHI mine WorkcrS IN adopting
resolutions to strike. This action, il
Is said. is an outgrowth of the last
election for district president OF the
miners union in the Scranton-W Wilkes

has taken the election into court and
has been opposing the policies of the
miners regular organization.
