follows:
"on behalf Of the non-unton coal opsr
ators Of the country who are supplying
sixty percent OF the requirements OF
coal and still have a reserve capacity
availa Bile we formally and respectfully
protest against your announced plan Tor
ths settlement Of the present strike IN
the bituminous industry for the FOL
lowing reasons:
First, the non union mines have &C
rapted that reduction In the labor cost
Of producing coal which Is Justined and
REQUIRED by the present economic con-
ditions and have sold coal at the mines
at prices consistent with the wages
paid. thereby making possible 10 the
public that reduction In the cost OF lir-
ing 20 which II Is entitled and which
should not now be squandered.
Second. The resumption or Work Al
the union mines at the scale OF wages
in effect Marsh 81. 1892. will necessarily
cause wages IN the non-union he'ds 10
IA raised correspondingly TO enable
those fields TO hold their supply OF III
Dor. Tho effect would be TO disrupt the
Adjustment OF wages whtcS has taken
Is months tc-scco11pliSh. to
'.Third. The public should not be COM
nslied 40 continue to buy coal mined al
wages which are the result or war TIME
conditions and which are the htShes'
wages ever paid In the industry.
Fourth. Your plan for the negotiation
OF the settlement OF the present strike
IN effect grants a special privilege wage
to union labor which Is not based or
.conoulc conditions and thereby grants
n subsidy At the expense OF the pub
lie without the publtc's consent Tor ar
unlimited period OF time as Il may oe

tneir employees have stood between the
ruhNc and the efforts OF the United
Mine Workers to create monopoly ana
ua feel sure that when the public BE-
comes aware OF the effect OF this pre-
nosed settlement they will vigorously
