ANTHRACITE MINE WORKERS
DRAFT NEW SET DEMANDS
The Hard Coal Operators Will Be
Asked to Increase the Wages
of Miners.

Scranton, Pa.-The anthracite mine
workers in convention here unani-
mously adopted a set of demands to
be presented to the coal operators IN
the coming negotiations for a new
wage contract. They follow generally
those adopted at the convention in
Shamokin, Pa, in January, 1922, and
for which the miners fought for five
and a half months, the men finally
returning to work without an in
crease in wages, but maintaining the
scale under which they had quit.
The present agreement, which was
entered into last September, expires
August 81, and it was announced the
new demands will be presented to the
operators as soon after July 4 as
possible.
The convention took no action on a
question Of suspension in the event
the negotiations run beyond August
81. John l.. Lewis, international
president Of the United Mine Work
ers, who presided, told the delegates
that it was a matter that could be
left to the sagacity and good judg
ment of the officers.
The morning session was marked
by q disturbance due to the presence
in the balcony of the hall Of Joseph
Marley, son in law OF William Il.
Foster, identified with the Trades
Union Educational league, and j. H.
Mccarthy, representing the labor de-
Tense council, who are bitterly de,
nounced as enemies Of the United
Mine Workers and other trades unions
and oAered to remove their car
casses from the hall"
Mccarthy was accompanied by his
wife.
Amid wild jeers and boots the three
left the place while a number OF dele
gates held back angry men in the rear
of the hall. A half block from the
hall Manley and Mccarthy were at
tackled by a number Of men and in the
melee Mccarthy was badly used up.
Mrs. Mccarthy was not assailed, al
though for a time she pitched in and
helped defend her husband with an
umbrella.
The men were accused Of being
back OF a plot of the communist
party in the United States to set UP
a dual organization in the coal fields

eventually other trades union organ
