WAGE RATE
CHIEF ISSUE
With MINERS
Labor Members of the
Anthracite Wage Scale
Demanding 20 P e r
Cent Increase Say They
Will Demonstrate That
Coal Industry Is Behind
Every Other Industry,
Especially During War
Outlook Gloomy

New York, March 2S.-After a week
of preliminary skirmishing. the
miners and operators subcommittee
on wage contract negotiations was
prepared today to attack the chief
points at issue-the demand of the
unions for a 20 per cent wage in
crease and raise of 81 per shift for
day workers.
Upon the operators reception of
these demands, with third stipulat-
ing that the check-off system be es-
tablished in all collieries, depends
the early settlement of the strike for
April l, is the feeling at union head
quarters here.
Both sides are agreed that the fu-
ture of the bituminous and anthra-
cite industries will depend largely
upon the basis of settlement of these
three demands. 1t is freely predict
ed that operators of bituminous mines
win make no move to settle the
strike which will also close their
mines April /, until wage scale is
fixed for the anthracite industry
Neither side looks for an easy vic
tory in the present conference, the
miners with the knowledge that ev-
cry anthracite coalery in the United
States is unionized and will cease
production on the date fixed, assert
their men are willing to go on
long vacation" thus they say they
can take their time to thresh out the
whole situation in the anthracite in
dustry as it affects union labor.
The operators also express a will
ingness that the mines shall cease
producing temporarily. They have
taken positive stand against any
increase in miners wages, and have
announced their intention of using
every means to negotiate a new con-
tract on a basis of decrease from
the present schedule.
