It 13 Claimed That the Mine Em
ployes Who Received the 10 Per
Cent. Increase Have Been Dis
charged and New Men Havo Been,
Put in Their Places at the Old
Rates Miners Must Insist Upon
Written Contracts.
By Eclube Wire from llie Audited Trm.
llazleloii. Pa., Aug. i'.i. With thr)
adoitlou of the lepoit of the commit
tee on t evolutions the t'nlted Mlno
Wotkeis this aftcuioon practically fin
ished their woik. The convention will
adjoin n at noon tomorrow.
The resolutions recommend xwltten
Instead of xcib.il agi cements with all
the coal companies, strict compliances
with the piesent contract, continuation
of the caid inspection system as now
conducted, and Instruct President
Mitchell and the district presidents tu
confer with the coal companies regard-
lug card Inspection and violation of
agreements, and to at range for a Joint
conference. These olllceis aie vested
with power to declate a strike If con
tiacts now In force aie not lived up to.
The resolutions call attention to tho
advantage to both miners and oper
ators by a wilt ten contract covering
the wage tate for a stated period and
specifying the conditions of labor, Th
committee alleges that Instead of agree
ing to the teuiiest for a written agree
ment the various companies punted no
tices of an Indefinite chaiacter. In
many Instances the, resolutions state,
wiltten notices posted nnd verbal
agi cements made by superintendent:!
with eonunlttee.s have been violated
under xailous pretexts..
Alleged Discrimination.
lhnplo.ves who derive the benefit of
the 10 per cent. Increase have, it is
claimed, been discharged and new men
placed In their positions at the old
wages. The loinmltlee states in tho
resolutions that if the nilneisr are te
fiulred to live up to their agreement,
then the i oal i oinpaiiies .should do
likewise, Instead of seeking to destroy
the mine wotkeis' organization by In
timidating the Jiu-n.
Ileieafter the mlneis will Insist upon
written ngi cements which shall bo
signed In joint convention befoie th
piesent i outi.it t cNplies, and also In
