nor will they permit the coal opera.
tors to take away from them any Of
the conditions Of their employment
which they have won BY many years
Of struggle, hardship and sacrifice.
"Wages Of anthracite mine workers
always have been too low and they
must be brought up to Q decent Ameri.
can level. Next year will see miners
Of the anthracite region contendlns %
vailantly for an improved wage scale
as they have done heretofore, and they
will continue 30 to contend until they
obtain what Ia Justly due them. And
they will not abandon their striving
for the universal eight.hour day in the

are 500 or 800 deaths year of men
employed about the mines. and there
