MESSRS. JOHN L. LEWIS. President, United Mine Workers of America, W. J. BRENNAN. President, District Ne. 1, THOMAS KENNEDY. President, District Ne. 7, C. J. GOLDEN, President, District Ne. 9 Gentlemen: Relative te your nineteen demands, te which we have given careful consideration, apd en the acceptance of which you are still insisting, we herewith make reply: If granted, these demands, the majority of which are practically identical with these de nied by the United States Anthracite Ceal Commission, in 1920, would impose an addi tional burden of at least $170,000,000 an nually en an industry already carrying labor costs above the war time peak. It must be obvious te you, from what we have already presented in reply, that your de mands cannot be granted without irreparable injury te the industry and its employees. Te agree upon a wage scale out of line with wages generally being paid for similar service would be as unproductive of satisfactory re sults as has been the continuance of the high wage rates in the; bituminous union fields, which utterly failed te produce adequate an nual earnings for these employed therein. Ne agreement between us will accomplish the results we both seek except one which will provide reasonably steady working time at fair wages and the production of coal at a reason able cost. In order te accomplish this result, it is our firm conviction that in the face of the decline in wages and prices which has been taking place for mere than a year in ether lines of in dustry, the anthracite industry can no longer continue te pay the present wages, which were established by the President's Commission in 1.920, at a time when the cost of living and the business activity of the country were at the peak. Present Scale Above Other Industries Fer the year 1921, the average annual earnings of all men coming within the terms of the 1920 agreement who worked in each pay period of that year exceeded $1800, a figure equaled in no ether basic industry. According te the comprehensive survey recently made by the National Industrial Conference Beard, an thracite wages ohew an average increase in actual weekly earnings of 152 fe above the basic 1914 period, against an increase in the coat of living, as of March 15, 1922, of only 54.7. The average earnings of mine work ers, as computed by us, has been practically confirmed net only by the National Industrial Conference Beard, but also by the United States Bureau of Laber Statistics. The President's Commission, in 1920, set wage ratea in the anthracite field which, in conjunction with the steady employment offer ed by the industry, produced earnings largely in exceaa of the increased coat of living at that time. Since the award of the Commission, due te the decline in commodity prices, the mine workers have further benefited by the increas ing value of the dollar, while both wages and opportunity for employment have declined in ether industries. The figures of the Industrial Conference Beard show a reduction in the cost of living of 24.4 since July. 1920. and the figures of the United States Bureau of Laber Statistics a reduction of 22.9 during the same period. Wage Scale Offered It is evident that the present economic situ ation demands a substantial decrease in wages if a normal production of anthracite coal is te continue and reasonably steady employment is te be provided. Therefore, in lieu of the wage program submitted by you, the operators pre- pose an agreement embodying the following terms: (a) Contract rates shall be decreased 18 below the rates established by the United States Anthracite Ceal Com mission in August, 1920. (b) Day rates of men shall be reduced $1.20 per day or per shift below the rates established by the United States Anthracite Ceal Commission in August, 1920. (c) Day rates of boys shall be reduced 72 cents per day below the rates estab lished by the United States Anthracite Ceal Commission in August, 1920. This general wage structure represents an average decrease of approximately 21, and will therefore fully maintain the purchasing value of the vages as established by the An thracite Ceal Commission in 1920. It pro vides a minimum rate of 3 74 cents an hour for unskilled men employed outside the mines, with relatively higher rates for ether occupa tions requiring skill and experience. Te Avoid Future Suspensions With reference te the term of the agree ment, the operators deplore the disturbance te business and the economic less resulting from frequent controversies and suspensions. In order that this may be avoided, we propose a five-year contract, subject, however, te annual adjustments as te wage rates only, as follews: On February 1 of each year a joint com mittee of anthracite mine workers and operat ors shall meet te adjust wages, te be effective April 1 allowing, taking into account the fol lowing factors as a basis of adjustment: (a) Changes in the purchasing value of the wage earner's dollar within each year as deter mined in the anthracite region and surround ing territory by recognized standard author ities. (b) Opportunity for employment offered by the industry. (c) Wages and earnings paid in ether basic industries under similar living conditions for corresponding service. (d) The general economic situation. In case no agreement shall have been reached by March 1. in any year, the deter mination of proper wage rates shall be referred te a commission te be composed of five per per eer.a te be selected by the Presiding Judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Judicial District, the personnel e,f the commission te be as follews: fa- in coal is ea- Personnel of Proposed Commission ( I ) A mining engineer and geologist, miliar with mining conditions and coal pro duction, but net in any way connected with coal mining properties, either anthracite or bituminous. (2) An economist of established reputa tion who has net been employed heretofore by either party. (3) A judge of the United States Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. (4) A man who has been affiliated with and is representative of the labor movement in the anthracite field. (5) A man who by active participation U 111 r i mc mining cina selling: or anthracite coal familiar with the physical und commercial f tures of thr business The operators efler the foregoing with the firm conviction that the terms are fair te the employees and necessary te the industry. The periodical adjustment proposed provides for collective bargaining in the first instance, and resorts te arbitration only in case collective bargaining fails. The continuation of the Anthracite Beard of Conciliation will provide a satisfactory method of settling any disputes that mny arise within the period of the agreement. A form of contract embodying in detail the proposals contained herein is submitted herewith. S. D. WARR1NLR W. J. RICHARDS NV. I.. CONNELL W. W.
