The CIO members issued a brief
statement registering their dissent

We dissent on the majority de-

that we deeply feel that the Joint

T. Bittner and John Brophy. both
former officials of the United Mine

The AFL dissent contended that the
majority members themselves were
divided in their opinion as to the
basis for distributing the additional
S112l2 per day allowed in the pro-
posed Illinois compromise which had
been looked on as a possible pattern
for a settlement nationally. The
miners were willing to settle for

The AFL members said some
members of the ma jority charged
the $l12i2 to As minutes production

others considered it to be divided
between straight time pay for As
