MINE SESSIONS
ARE ADJOURNED;
WORKERS IDLE
$4,000 Anthracite DiggerS
Walk Out in Obedience
to Orders,
By United Press

By United Press
f HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. with
a strike of 155, 900 anthracite miners
in full force, the peace parley between
the operators and the Union represen-
tatives adjourned here today until
Wednesday.
The action is known to have been
taken at the request of both sides.
The miners feel that some progress
was made in the five hour and
half conference Friday. The oper-
ators indicated they will not accept
any compromise which might en-
barrass the position they took at the
heginning-of the negotiations at At
lantic City a week ago.
Miners Invite Farley
The miners, according to their state
ment, do not. appear reluctant to re-
sumo \negotiations-in fact they in
vite them.
The operators hold to the opinion
that If negotiations are undertaken
on the basis suggested by the Cover
nor they will have conceded most of
the points for which they have fought
during the weeks OF negotiations.
The situation is about as follows:
Both sides agree that the basic
eight hour day should be established
The miners hold to the theory that
while 10 per cent fiat increase is too
slight for the workers" it may be
accepted as basis upon which a con
tract miners scale might be built. pro-
viding the operators will name an in
crease for day labor.
Object TO Wage Increase
The operators are Of the opinion
| 10 per cent wage increase is too high
and say they cannot accept it unless
they may add to the cost of coal. in
addition to being assured of yearly
arbitration
The miners hold union recognition
is not complete" unless they have the
check-off. or an agreement on the
closed shop
The operators reply recognition
exists in that the operators sign agree
| ments with the miners union
The miner view OF collective bargain
ing is that the operator has mo right
10 deal with the miner as an individ-
ual'
The operator hold collective bar
gaining already exists and IS not a
question at issue"
This leaves the parties far apart
in their effort to reach an agree
ment today.
