A long and vigorous discussion
took place on the report of the scale
committee which was adopted by a
vote of all delegates except 10. The
debate centered on the proposal that,
in view of the difference in the level
of wages paid in the different mines
that the basic demand be for a fiat
increase of 10 cents per ton to all
miners. Those who voted against
this demand wanted to adopt a fiat
tonnage rate of 40 cents for all mines.
The majority of the delegates who
voted for the demands pointed out
that the fat tonnage rate proposed
could not be put over in mines where
the rate is 18 and % cents per ton
while those receiving higher tom
mage rate would be getting a wage
cut. The U. M w. A officials re-

NEW YORK.-With the beginning
Of the preparations for the opening
Of the summer resorts, number Of
hotel .proprietors and employment
agencies are planning to work to-
gether to get cheap labor for the
former and big fees for the latter
Among these is the employment
agency maintaining Office space in
the State Labor Bureau on 23th
Street. At a meeting this agency
made plans to exploit walters, cham
bermaids and dishWasherS for as low
as $40 a month Besides this, those
workers hired must pay their own
fare to the country resort in addi-
ton to their fees They must also
sign an affidavit that they will pay
for all breakage OF dishes, etc. This
clause will easily be invoked against
the workers if the bosses want to fire
them or force them to leave. They
also want to examine the baggage
of workers.
