The working agreements between the
anthracite miners and the unions and
between the bitumlnous miners and the
unions both expire on March 81 and
negotiations to supplant them with new
contracts have so far failed
The chief difference between the men
and the operators is over wages and
hours The hard coal miners want a
wage increase Of 20 per cent and 81
more a day for Cay labor. The opera
tors. on their side. propose pay redue-
tions up to 20 Per cent
The question of interstate negOtia-
tions between both classes of operators
on the one side and the miners on the
other is another bone of contention.
Union chiefs assert the need of coun-
try wide agreement beginning April
and have declined to permit settlement
in separate states
Thru the fact that the working agree
ments of both hard and soft coal miners
expire on March 81, the union leaders
for the first time have the advantage Of
all their members acting in a body.
The Indication are that an increased
production in the non-union bituminOus
mines will naturally reduce the effect
Of the strike on the nations industry.
Recent statistics of weekly production
in all fields shoN ed that of the total
10 nOO. 900 to II 600. 600 tons mines about
5000 600 came from non-uniOn regions.
IL is said that this production can be
increased in the event Of a shutdown of
uniOnized areas

largest but in point OF finish. comfort
and decoration, there will be few to
outclass it, L. NJ. Crawford, head of
