Text of Letter to President
From Anthracite Operators

sential commodity which has not been
debated in price. and the continuance
Of the present prices will undoubtedly
impede the distribution of the prod
uct. which should be prompt and un-
interrupted on the resumption of
mining.
we nevertheless agree to your
proposal that. pending a permanent
scale. the mine workers are to return
to work on the scale of wages which
expired last March.
1T will be evident to you. how
ever. that it will not be possible for
the anthracite operators to contract
for the disposition Of their product
while uncertain as to the costs of
production. We are therefore conf
dent that it is necessary to the sue
cess of your plan and in conformity
with your intent that it shall be
made mandatory upon the commission
first to determine the wage scale to
be effective until March, 1923. and
that its decision in this regard shall
be handed down on or before Au-
gust 10.
pred with the end of the coal year.
March 81. and We suggest that this
date be adopted for the expiration
OF the temporary wage scale.
Want Both Sides Bound.
Third. We respectfully submit
that a recurrence Of the present un-
fortunate situation will not be pre-
vented by the establishment of only
temporary wage scale. expiring in
March. 1923. A renewal of the pres
ent controversy at that time would
be deplorable.
1T is our understanding that the
commission shall be empowered and
directed not only to determine tenn
porary wages and working conditions.
but shall also be empowered and di-
rected to devise a method by which
periodical disturbances may be
avoided. and by which wages and
working conditions may be auto
matically adjusted, by negotiation, if
possible, and If not by such machinery
as the commission shall set up, and
that its decisions in this regard shall
be binding on both parties.
we agree to abide without reser-
vation or qualification by the findings
OF a commission so to be appointed
and empowered.
tits our belief that these sugges-
tons are within the intent and spirit
OF your general plan. and that their
adoption is necessary to bring about
what you aim to achieve namely. the
establishment and maintenance of in
dustrial peace in the coal industry -

more prospective newlyweds than any
other place OF It's population. at least
this IL the belief here.
The well known contention that
June Is the month OF brides does not

during December surpasses the record
In the number issued during the month
OF June.
The June record shows that i07 IL
censes were issued 81 OF these being
20 west virginians. Kentucky being
second and Ohio third. However In ad-
dition to those coming from the tri-
state towns licenses have been issued
10 young men and women OF Indiana.

sued TO William Bruins, 20, and Eliza

There has been an increase in the
number OF licenses this June over
