Although the central Office of tho

will be transacted there, the sunrere
direction will be n the hands Of Tohn

Mr.. Lewis will remain here for sew

Conference Crisis Near
/ he nara coal miners ana operators
representatives came to close Quarters
yesterday on the miners demands for
a 20 per cent increase for contract
workers and for raise Of 81 day for
day men. 1t is on the final answer to
these demands by the operators that
the success or failure Of the anthra
cite negotiations chiefly depends.
Spokesman of the miners introduce d
additional documents bearing on the co st
of living in the anthracite region in its
relation to wages paid the mine work
ers and advanced arguments support
ing their contention that the wages
should be raised. This was uucs-
toned by the operators at every i'm
portant point How much Of a reduc-
tion in the present wage scale the on.
orators will ask when the time comes
to put in their case remained undis.
closed, but one report was that it prob
ably will be at least II and possibly 2t
per cent.
One of the chief arguments entered
by the miners was that whereas wages
were increased only SIS per cent DURING
and after the war the cost of ljvinp
increased as high as 1l6 per cent in
July, 1920, and is now 50 per cent owe,
prcwar basis. They declared
through Philip Murray, vice president
of the union, that the lowest figure al
which hard coal miner could support
himself and his family was $500 a
year, but that the highest day worker
could now earn annually on the mini
mum scale of S42O a day-counting on
being able to work 270 days a year
which was termed "most avorable"-
was only S1,134 year. On the same
basis it was contended that. should the
81 3 day increase be granted, day work
New-York tribune., 1922-03-30

ers on the minimum scale could earn
but 81 ,40i a year.
Hazards of the industry also fur
nished the basis of much evidence in
troduced. 1t was declared that five
hundred miners were killed in hard
coal mining annually and that there
are approximately twenty thousand
non-fatal accidents year.
All these contentious were sharply con-
tradicted by the operators Through
Samuel D. Warrincr, chairman of
their general policies committee,
they produced figures setting forth
that bank deposits in the anthracite
region increased from S24l 900 900 on
January /, 1920, to $316,OOO, ,0OG on Jan
uary l, 1922, an increase of s75,0O0,000
or 30 per cent, in two years.
This, Mr.. Wsrrlner asserted. was
proof of the "hgh degree of prosper
1ty' of the region, and that the miners
were already receiving the Saving
wage they demand. Mr.. Warriner de-
clared that, while it was the aim of the
operators to keep the region prosper
Gus, this could only be done by provid-
ing steady work for the miners-which
could not be given them, he said, un-
less costs Of production could be re-
duced so as to sell anthracite at a
price the public could pay.
Numerous figures were introduced by
Mr.. Warrincr as to increases in de-
posts at banks in various anthracite
centers, based on the five years begin
nlng January /, 1916, and ending Janu-
ary !, 1922. He also laid stress on the
contention that the miners received
four increases during and after the war
period
ne negotiations were enlivened by
the issuing by the National Industrial
Conference Board of figures obtained
through survey of the anthracite re-
gion, made at the request of the oper-
ators, setting forth that the cost of
living there had decreased 2o.7 per cent
since the peak of July, 1920. This was
IN opposition to the miners contention
mat there has been an increase in liv-
ing costs in the region Of 25 per cent
during the period
Attacking these figures for the min
ers, Mr., Murray charged that the con
terence board was "an open shop, anti
union organization" and declared the
figures to be mot autheitic. unreliabl
and CO ored." The board, he said, "has
been deceiving both public and press
by Incorporating as an impartial re-
search organization" whereas. he said,
IL IS an antl-union movement, made
up OF Interests which are bitter oppo-
nents of organized labor"
Inc anthracite negotiations will be
resumed to-day. On Friday, however
the miners representatives will leave
the city to direct the walk-out of the
hard coal mine workers, returning
probably on Monday for further confer,
ences with the operators.
