though our progress may seem perhaps
slow at the beginning, the results, we
are confident, will be certain and per-

COAL CONFEREES
ADJOURN FOR week
Operators Proposal for 21 Per
Cent Wage Cut Refused
by Miners
MONOPOLY IS CHARGED

New York, May 20.--Union officials
and anthracite operators who are con-
ferring here In an effort to end the
coal strike today adjourned until next
Friday without further discussion OF
the miners reply to the demands OF
the operators for q per cent wage
reduction.
The miners refusal to settle the strike
on basis Of q n per cent cut In
wages was presented to the operators
last night at a secret conference Of the
joint sub committee which has been
attempting, since March Is, to nego.
tiate new wage contract.
Charges are made by the miners In
a ffteen. page statement that needless
and indefensible profits on hard coal
operators monopolistic control OF the
industry.
Monopoly Charged
This monopoly, they allege, "arises
from three sources and Is in large part
concealed from the view Of the public" "
namely:
From the direct mining of coal.
From the ownership OF anthracite
coal carrying railroads. which control
coal. producing companies mining four
which, in order to obtain large but con.
ccaled profits for the monopoly and pre-
vent competition from independent pro-
ducers, have imposed grossly excessive
freight rates on coal.
From the maintenance by the large
operators or coal mining companies o.
separately organized coal-sale com
panies through which an added heavy
tribute is placed upon the distribution
Of coal.
Would Not Reduce Price
"Your proposed wage reductions
would not cause drop in the price ol
COAL" the miners statement continues
'"The present high prices cannot b
attributed to any past increase in wag,
rates. for the labor cost Of ton Of Goa
is now only $3.50, whereas the in.
crease in retail price since 1913 ha.
been from IS to $40 per ton.
"As the total labor cost in producini
a ton Of anthracite is only $3.50, o.
about Is per cent. of the retail price
a radical reduction of even q per cent
In present wage rates as you propose
would mean reduction Of not ovc
IS cents per ton, or only about 8 pc
cent, in the price to the consumer
Probably this small amount would b.
absorbed in the process of distribution
and the consumer would receive N
benefit"
Attention of the operators is directe,
to the statement that, under the presen
scale Of $4.2O a day for shift workers
the maximum annual earnings of
miner, "who cannot hope to get wori
more than 270 days a year." are Onl,
$1134. The reduction to 50 a day, pro
posed by the operators. would cut hi
annual earning to $50, 1t sttJupotAee
out. = ssSNs-shrs
Even under the $4.2O rate, it
alleged. the $1134 annual earning II
far below the lowest estimate Of til
amount necessary for the support of
worker and his family" advanced b
scientific authorities and Federal re
search commissions. ''The proposal Q
such wage Is almost incredible as
is completely Mt variance with all th
social. moral and human standards q
the present day."
