Anthracite Coal
Operators A SIX
For Wage Cut
Agree to Meet Mine Workers
in Joint Conference to Ne
gotiate New Scale: Will
Insist L pom Defat;on
Price Now Far Too High
Men Have Already Formu-
lated Demands; Are Pre-
pared TO Suspend April I

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.-Thc an.
throcltc operators announced here to-
day that they have agreed to meet
representatives. of the United Nine
Workers in joint conference in New
York March Is to negotiate new
wage agreement.
S. D. Warrincr, chairman Of the
policies committee, which adjourned its
meeting in Atlantic City to-day, said it
was the unanimous feeling Of the op-
orators that there must be def1ation
in coal prices, ard that the mine work
ers, for the sake of their own pros
perity and the general good all around,
must share in this dehation.
Mr. Warrincr, who is president Of
the Lehgh Coal and Navigation Com
pany. said The Atlantic City meeting
was held to consider various phases of
the present labor situation III the an
thracite fields. IT was in reply TO a
question whether the operators would
ask the mine workers to accept re-
duction in wages at the expiration Of
the present contract on March 81 that
he indicated the miners would be
asked to readjust the present wage
rates.
Anthracite Must Come Down
The present situation is one. Mr..
Warr'ner said, in which tho price Of
anthracite coal cannot expect to dcvi-
ate from the trend Of other commodi-
ties.
"Anthracite coal is too high when
considered with other things and with
comm odities in which it cores in com
petition" said the chief spokesman Of
the hard coal operators, "and prices
have got to come down to meet the
economic situation, for the prosperit,
Of tho mine workers as we'll as that OF
the consumers, whom we recognize as
the third party"
Mr.. Warmer said the high cost Of
coal to the consumer is due to the cost
OF production. in which the mine work
ers wages are large part There
must be defation, he added, mot only
in wage rates but in freight rates as
we'll, as in other things
Wage, Out of Proportion
Mr.. Warriner pointed out that the
average increase in the cost of living
since 1914, according to the United
States Department of Labor is ST. per
cent, and that the average increase in
the wages of day labor in and about
the anthracite collieres has increased
131 per cent since 1914. There are
about 100000 men employed in the
anthracite industry by the day. These
figures do not include contract miners
Mr. Warrincr would not say whether
the operators had agreed upon a def
mite wage basis to be submitted TO
the miners next month. He said they
probably would not indicate this until
the miners demands. formulated in
the anthracite convention in Shamokin
last month and backed by the United
Mine Workers convention in India
napolis last Saturday, are officially
laid before them By the mine workers
in New York. The mine workers
adopted nineteen demands at Shamokin
and also decided to suspend work on
April l in the advent that no salts
factory agreement has been reached
by that time.
The demands provide that the con
tract wage scale be increased 20 per
cent and that all day men be granted
an increase of one dollar a day.
