AIM TO UNITE ALL
/ j. S. COAL MINERS
Unions Would Present Solid
Front at Wage NegotIa'
tions in Winter
CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK
By the Associated Press

New Yorl, May l7.-Consoltdation
NJ tho forces Of tho anthracite ana th'
b;,uminous mine workers of the coun-
try in order that they may put up
solid front 10 the coal operators in the
wage negotiations this winter was the
nurnosc of n conference today between
district leaders of the hard coal miners
and John l.. Lewis. international pres
ident. and Philip Murray. international
vice president of the United Mime
Workers of America.
Mine workers officials of the an
thracitc region declared before the con-
ference that they would grant the re
oucst Of President Lewis that the tri-
district convention of hnrd coal work
srs be postponed until after the inter-
national union meets at Indianapolis
September 90.
In previous years the anthracite
miners have held their convention and
presented their wage demands prior TO
the international gathering, ut which
time the bituminous schedules were
drafted.
Under the new agreement proposed
by the international union the two fac
tions of mine workers. numbering near
IL 500. 600. will jointly frame their new
demands and wage scales to replace the
present agreement. which expires on
March 81. 1922. While the two groups
will have their own scale committees
it is understood that they will CO.
operate and that their activities will
harmonic.
Officials of the anthracite mine work
ers' districts reported that with few
exceptions the mines were working
Several independent operators, they
said. had closed their pits when the
workers had declined to accept wage
reductions.

30 Tar as the people who work are concen-
ed II would be further desirable to have orr
holidays scattered throughout the year, the
pleasant months being the most satisfactory
for celebrations.
AS the calendar stands, we have March,
april, May and June without nationwide
holidays, except at Easter and Decoration
lay winch is in May in the North AM April
IN most southern states. AS Good FRIDAY Is
not legal holiday in many states. Easter
from an economic standpoint really does not
give an extra day of rest. Then, August and
OCTOBER nave no general holidays In all OF
tnese months, except March, perhaps, wealth.
er IS favorable for out-of-door events-pic-
nlcs' pageants, excursions, and hikes.
Our prevailing holidays seem to be clus-
tered in the four coolest months, with
Fourth of July and Labor Day to furnish
recreation for summer. This side of the
matter mas never been stressed in establish
ing new holidays, but considering the fnan-
clal cost when millions of workers are idle
for an extra day, it might seem that an an
nlVersary falling in June August, or October
might be given preference over another mid
winder holiday.
What holidays cost is shown in a general
way by the governments estimate that each
legal holiday in the District of Columbi.
costs the country about 100000. This esti-
mate was based on the average salary of SO, :
600 government clerks in WASHINGTON. It
does not show the cost in delays in work.
a n 1ncd
day of rest may be. 1t shows only the dol
lars and cents outlay for a days work. Last
year the holiday bill for the District was a
little more than 100000.
