HOPE TO AGREE ON WAGE An attempt to adjust Inequalities and Injustices In the preient wage agree ment between the anthracite mine' work ers nnd the coal opcratore will be triad? when a subcommittee, of the tnlncM'llf meet with the ' employers tn thia, tlftv today. , VJ Thomas Kennedy, chairman of lne worker' committee, said ycnterday thai none 6t the demands of the hard coal miners for additional wage increases will be dropped, but that an effort will be made to have the operators consider them as a patt of tho "existing Inequal ities." Instructions to its subcommittee to meet with the operators Were 6tn out following a meeting of the general scale committee of the anthracite mine work ers In Hazleton, Pa., yesterday. This action was taken following the refusal of tho operators t& make additional wage Increases of approximately lft per cent and a $0 minimum rate of pay for day laborers. "Our sole desire is to work out a constructive program," asserted Mr. Kennedy, "that, will give general natls faction to the great body of ntithrucltc mine workera and (liability In the re gion." The operators will also be asked by the subcommittee, it was learned, to see that all miners in the field get the 17 fcr cent Increase recently granted In he commission's award. Charges have been made by representatives of the miners that thousands of miners In the three anthracite districts have never received the full increase. The miners also will ask the opera tors for a fuller interpretation of the statement In their reply which states that "if there be individual cases of incnnality they stand ready to agree upon a constructive remedy." "We take this to mean individual classes nnd rather indefinite as to whut interpretation," said the statement is sued by the general Bcale committee. After denying that they bAve "treated lightly" the award of the United States anthracite ro'al committee, the commit tee's statement takes Issue with the operators' reply relative to general de cline of bnslnesi activity.
