Present Scale Above Other Industries

For the year 1921 the average annual earn
ngs of all men coming within the terms of the
1920 agreement who worked in each pay period
of that year exceeded $1,000, figure equaled
in no other basic industry. According to the
comprehensive survey recently made by the
National Industrial Conference Board, anthracite
wages show an average increase in actual weekly
earnings of 1927 above the basic 1914 period,
against an increase in the cost Of living as OF
March IS, 1922, of only 54.7T. The average
earnings of mine workers. as computed by us,
has been practically confirmed not only by the
National Industrial Conference Board, but also by
the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Presidents Commission, in 1920, set
wage rates in the anthracite field which, in con-
junction with the steady employment offered by
the industry, produced earnings largely in excess
of the increased cost of living at that time. Since
the award of the Commission, due to the decline
in commodity prices the mine workers have
further benefited by the increasing value of the
dollar while both wages and opportunity for en-
ployment have declined in other industries. The
figures of the Industrial Conference Board show
a reduction in the cost of living of 24.4To since
July, 1920, and the figures of the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics reduction Of 22.9%
during the same period.

tinue and reasonably steady employment is to be
provided. Therefore, in lieu of the wage program
submitted by you, the operators propose an
agreement embodyng the following terms:

To Avoid Future Suspensions


the operators deplore the disturbance to business
and the economic loss resulting from frequent
controversies and suspensions. In order that this
may be avoided, we propose five-year contract,
subject, however, to annual adjustments as to
wage rates only, as follows:
On February of each year joint committee
of anthracite mine workers and operators shall
meet to adjust wages, to be effective April fol-
lowing, taking into account the following factors
as a basis of adjustment:
(a) Changes in the purchasing value of the
wage earner'S dollar within each year as deter
mined in the anthracite region and surrounding
territory by recognized standard authorities.
(b) Opportunity for employment offered
by the industry.
(c) Wages and earnings paid in other basic
industries under similar living conditions for cor.
responding service.
(d) The general economic situation.
In case no agreement shall have been reached
bv March /, in any year, the determination of
broper wage rates shall be referred to a commits
sion to be composed of five persons to be selected
by the Presiding Judge of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the Third Judicial Dis
trict, the personnel of the commission to be as
follows:

Alexandria.
The Washington times., 1922-05-22


we have given careful consideration, and on the
acceptance of which you are still insisting, we
herewith make reply:
II granted, these demands, the majority OF
which are practically identical with those denied
by the United States Anthracite Coal Commission
in 1920 would impose an additional burden OF
at least $4,000, 600 annually on an industry
already carrying labor costs above the war time
peak.
II must be obvious to you, from what we have
already presented in reply, that your demands
cannot be granted without irreparable injury to
The industry and its employees.
To agree upon wage scale out of line with
wages generally being paid for similar service
would be as unproductive of satisfactory results
as has been the continuance of the high wage
rates in the btuminous union fields, which utterly
failed to produce adequate annual earnings Tor
those employed therein.
No agreement between us will accomplish the
results we both seek except one which will pro-
vide reasonably steady working time at fair wages
and the production of coal at a reasonable cost
In order to accomplish this result it is our
firm conviction that in the face Of the decline in
WAGES and prices which has been taking place for
more than year in other lines OF industry, the
anthracite industry can no longer continue to pay
the present wages, which were established by the
Presidents Commission in 1920, at time when
the cost of living and the business activity OF the
country were at the peak.
