NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
United Mine Workers today demand
ed a 30-hour work week for 100000
miners in the soft-coal industry.
The mine union, opening negotia-
tionS with bituminouS operators on
terms for a new wage and hour scale
agreement, also demanded:
l. A wage increase of so cents a
day for miners paid by the day.
2. An increase of Is cents ton for
pick mining.
3. An inceaSe of Is cents ton for
coal leaders and 2 cents a ton for
cutters.
f. guarantee of 200 days work
each year.
S. Two weeks vacation with full
pay-miners paid by the ton to re-
Ceive Sc day during vacations.
The present contract ends March 81.
Operators Seek yonger Week.
The miners demands contrasted
with a proposal by the operators to
extend the present 35-hour week to
40 hours, with no change in tonnage
rates, but Is per cent cut in hourly
rates.
Philip Murray, vice president of the
miners union, read the miners pro-
poSals, which also called for two-year
contract, time and one-half for over
time, creation of a joint miners-oper-
ators commission to adjust rates for
machine mining and adjustment of
wage differentials between and within
districts.
John L. Lewis, president of the
union. still pale from the bad cold he
contracted while egotiating the settle
ment of the General Motors strike, sat
on the sidelineS while his first lieuten-
ant read the demands
Long ariey Seen.
Previously the joint conference had
organized to start negotiations that
coal men generally expect will last
with interruptions-until the deadline
at midnight March 81.
About 200 miners and 200 operators
assembled in the music room of a
hotel here for the conference.
Having won an agreement for the
United Automobile Workers with the
General Motors Corp, the C. l. o.
head, who also Is president of the
United Mine Workers of America, now
is setting out to obtain shorter hours
and higher pay for his own soft coal
miners.
After this task is completed he ex-
poets to tackle steel-to try to win |
recognition for the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers as the exclusive representa-
tive of all steel mill employees.
Strike Talk Foolish.
The United Mine Workers journal |
called strike predictions foolish" in
an editorial printed yesterday.
mo one knows whether there will |
be a suspension of operations on the
first of April or any other date" the
editorial said
Only time can determine that |
question and all of this wild guess
work now being INDUCED in Is the
merest rot"
Lewis added. at a press conference
last night in Washington:
Il abhor strikes. We don't plan |
any strikes now or in the future. If |
these negotiations are unsuccessful |
and the working agreement is not |
renewed, our men simply will be out |
of jobs"
The operators, contending that in
creasing competition from fuel oil, !

perative, went into the negotiations
with demand for an increase in the
work week from IS to 40 hours with
out change in weekly or tonnage pay
rates. This would mean a cut of
about Is per cent in hourly rates
