refer to our reply to the statement Im
mediately preceding, and to state In nil
illlloni that assuming that I here has boon
an Increase! In the cost of living, It Is an
Increase which falls on all alike. In this,
the miner's circumstances are no worse
than those of others. There has been tt
general advance in wages in thu past two
years, and in this thu miner has shared hi
common with the other trades. Again
wo Jlud thu miner on relatively the. Hiimo
footing as others. A condition exists,
however, which makes the minor's condi
tion hi the labor world preferable to that
of flic followers of other occupations, In
that he retains to himself the opportunity
and pilvllogrf to Inurcaso hi his dally
wage by his own effort, to a much great
er extent than almost any other skilled
workman.
Highlit The wages of the anthracite
mine workers are so low that their
children nro prematurely forced into tlio
breakers and mills Instead ot being sup
ported and educated upon the earnings of
their parents.
I his statement wo deny absolutely.
AVhere the children of the miners arc
prematurely forced Into the breakers and
mills, It Is duo entirely to the disposition
ot the parents, for the fact remains that
many of our most prominent and prog
ressive and profcssloal and business men
have been miners themselves, or lira the
children of miners, and in their educa
tional qualifications they are easily tho
equals of their associates whoso start in
life was from other suroriiudlngs.
Ninth Wages are below the fair and
just earnings of mine workers In this In
dustry. This Is fully answered In our foregoing
answers to statements.
Tenth The ten-hour day Is detrimental
to the health, life, safety and well-being
of the mlno workers.
In answering this question we beg to
refer your honorable, commission again
to the paper marked exhibit A.
Whether ten hours work per day Is det
rimental to health, life and general safety.
Is a proposition which Is applicable to nil
avocations, and Is not confined to that
of mining nlonc. it Is a matter to be de
termined by statistical research and the
opinions of physlcans and actuaries.
Kleventh Shorter hours Improve the
physical, mental and moral condition of
tho workers.
A Sociological Question.
Tills is purely a sociological question
with which the coal operators have noth
ing to do. By this we do not desire to bo
understood as assuming an attitude of en
tire Indlffelence to the physical and moral
welfare of the mine workers, but we re
iterate that the proposition Is one which
sociologists are better quail lied to deal
with than business men. The operators'
concern in the controversy is to arrive at
a satisfactory basis upon which the min
ing of coal can bo proceeded with by the
payment of a fair rate of wages to the
mine workers.
Twelfth Shorter hours increase the in
tensity and efficiency of labor.
Another sociological question. Short
er hours also Increase the cost of produc
tion.
Thirteenth The tendency of national
and state governments, of organized
trades and of production generally, is to
ward shorter hours.
This Is the result of a nearly universal
disposition among men to work no more
than necessary in order to maintain such
standard of living as they tlnd most con
ducive to their own happiness.
Fourteenth A working day of eight
hours Is sufficiently long for the best in
terests of the working man and ot the
community.
This is another sociological question.
1. Measurement by the legal ton wher
ever practicable is the only honest and
just system of measuring tlio earnings ot
the mine workers.
This is not a statement of fact, and it
must be admitted without argument that
It Is just as fair to mine coal liy measure
as by weight.
If a. legal ton was made the standard In
ascertaining the earning of the miners In
stead ot tile present practice of making
twenty-seven and one-half hundred
weight to thirty hundred weight the
.standard, It would not make the slightest
difference in the miner's pay, as he would
simply be paid by the hundred weight In
stead of by the ton.

Question of a Ton.
2. 'When the operators sell or transport
coal It Is on the basis of n leiriil ton of
",2)0 pound.
Tho question at Issue In this controversy
Is whether tho miner is rcct-lvlng fair
wanes for the labor he performs, anil wo
submit that this question docs not enter
Into the controversy at nil.
il. Tho excessive ton was originally in
tended to compensate the operator for the
waste of the small .sines of coal which
were discarded, but which are now util
ized and sl, and therefore there Is no
present necessity for the use ot any other
than tlu lcsal ton.
This ututement has no beariner on the
attest Ion at Issue. If wo understand
aright, tho questions before your honor
able commission are to determine whether
the mine worker is receiving a fair and
just ro turn for Ills l.ibor. In tlio adjust
ment of this question we believe thut the
only points to. be considered are: (a)
The nature and character of tho work
performed; (b) The hours of employment;
(r) The wages paid, both with respect to
tlio cost ot living, anil In comparison with
tho rato of wuees paid to other skilled
labor,
These questions we have answered, hut
we again rcspectlfully submit that thu
above statement Is Irrelevant anil not u
question at Issue or of concern to tho
mine workers. We, however, might itote.
thai when this standard was established,
the market took from 20 to -10 per cent,
of lump coal nnd a largo percentage ot
grato coal, but.owlng to changes In meth
ods of burning, and the substitution oc
soft coal and coke In iron malting, tlm
demand for lump and grain coal has prac
tically disappeared, .Now we only havo
market for egg. stove, nut nnd the smal
ler sizes, The grinding down of thu lump
nnd tho grate to smaller sixes entail. iv
wasto equal to tho gain mndo by tha
selling of tho smaller sizes, As n matter
of fact, the. records of many companies
show that twenty-seven and one-halt
hundred weight to thirty hundred weight,
according to tho different kinds of coal Is
barely sufficient, owing io tho hrcukaga
In preparation and foreign substances sent
out In the car, which run from 20 to -tfl
per cent., to produce a ton of marketable
anthracite coal, Including pea mid buck
wheut. An Absurd Statement.
I, Tim adoption of this system would
rcmovo an Incentive, both to the opera,
tor and tho worker, to cheating and dis
honesty, nnd would allay jealousy among
the miners and prevent unjust discrimina
tion anil I'uvoiitlsni.
This as an absurd statement, mid docs
not enter Into tho question In coutroversy
nt nil. It Is as easy to cheat, If tho desire
to do so Is present, In weight its In mens,
me, and It Is impossible to keep it dis
honest niuu honest.
5. Tho change of tho present system to
tho ouo asked for would provo a strong
factor In allaying suspicion and discontent
among tho mine workers.
This Is simply .a repetition of a former
demand, and wo deslra to rtilerato as wo
have stated In cur answers to former do.
mauds, thut It Is a poorly disguised effort
on their part to secure an advance of 20
to 00 per cent. In tho prico for their labor

1. The anthracite mlno workers should
not bj compelled to inako or sign Indi
vidual agreements, but have tho tight to
form such organizations nnd choose such
agents and officers as they desire, to act
collectively instead of individually wher
ever thoy deem that their best Interests
are subserved thereby.
W do not deny the right or our em
ployes to organize for purposes of mutual
advantage and benellt to themselves, and
to act collectively when their best Inter
ests may be served thereby. But we do
deny tho right of any Interference with
the individual for the purpose of prevent
ing him from entering into any agreement
he may see lit for thu sale of his labor, a
right guaranteed him under the consti
tution of tho i'nlted States.
Absolutely Disputed.
2. Agreements between employers and
employes through worklngmens' organ
izations and the ordinary method of reg
ulating production and wages In the bit
uminous coal fleld and In other large in
dustries are benellcial, successful and in
keeping with the splilt of the times.
This is absolutely disputed by the oper
ators in the bituminous region.
!!. Unions of working men tend to better
discipline among the men and to tho im
provement of their physical, moral and
mental condition, and to tho preservation
of friendly relations between tho em
ployer and employe.
To the statement that labor imiuns Im
prove both thu morals and discipline of
their members, wo answer, that tills may
bo trim when applied to some organiza
tions. But when applied to the Miners'
Union as now conducted, we enter a most
emphatic denial, nnd propose to introduce
evidence showing that prior to the ad
vent of tho organization know ns the
United Mlno Workers of America, it was
considered hail form to kill or maim a
citizen who attempted to exercise the
light to sell his labor, guaranteed him
under the constitution of the United
States, We also propose to show thut the
vast number of brutal murders and beat
ings committed during thu past five
months show that the teachings ot the
Miners union has brought about such
moral obliquity as to viiusu Its mombers
to believe themselves justllled in those
acts of violence, and wo will provo that
the oflieers and tlio members of this union
hiivn juslllled this course by defending
both by counsel and by procuring ball
for those who have been guilty of these
atrocious acts. Ju regard to discipline,
wo offer to piove that tho dictation ot the
Miners' union as to whom we should hire,
ami particularly as to whum wu should
discharge, lias resulted In such absolute
and continued Insubordination of em
ployes In tho anthracite mines as to bring
about absolute reduction in efllcieney of
I rum Vi to 20 per cent. This can be con
clusively proven by tho dally production
per man us shown by thu mlno Inspector's
report of iV), ami compared to tlio same
production of 1001. These statistics In
somo Instances show a falling- off of 20
per cent,, entirely duo to lack of ability
to enforce discipline by dlsehMrgc.
Only Effective Method.
i. Kxpetienco shows that the trade
agreement Is the only effective method by
which It is possible to regulate, questions
arising between employer and employed
in largo Industries, and that a tradu
agreement Is thu only possible way to cs
tabllsh the relations between the em
ployer ami the wagu worker in the itu
tliraclto Held on a Just and permanent
basis, and as fur as possible to do nway
with any cause for the recurrence of such
difficulties ns thoso you now (the Anthra
cite, Coal Stklu Uommissluii) have been
called ill to settle.
We deny this stntemcut and offer to
show that for twenty years prior to the
advent of tho MtuhiV union, the miners
had been able to maintain a standard nt
hour wages higher than any other class
of employes without regard (o skill re
quired. Tills they luivo donn during long
periods of depression In business. Wo
will show that dining some of these pe
riods the bituminous miners havo been
forced to accept us low as om dollar per
day, while ut tho same lime tho men en
gaged In anthracite mining received from
lorty cents to one dollar per hour. AVo
will show that this scale of wages has
been maintained without thu help or as
sistance of any labor union or organiza
tion whatever, untl practically without
strikes or lockouts. We will also show
that since tlio advent of the Miners'
union we lutvu hud seven months ot com
plete, idleness, and many, many days and
weeks of Idleness ut Individual collieries

union to manage and control the opera-
