MINERS REFUSED
4 MORE DEMANDS
Operators Steadfiistly Decline
to Ratify Changes Sought by
Union; Breach Widens
Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, March 23. —Refusal on
th part of the soft coal operators of
Central Pennsylvania yesterday to
ratif;' four additional demands pre
sented by 'the miners of that section
has resulted in a further breach that
threatens to become serious. The
first concession made by the operators
since the conference began at the
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel on Monday
was the tabling of a five per cent, in
crease demanded for certain classes
of work. To the present time the
operators have refused nine of ten de
mands and have tabled one.
Although the instructions of the
miners' representatives in conference
with the operators, are to the effect
that unless the union is recognized and
the eighteen demands submitted met,
a suspicion of work in the coal dis
trict that supplies about forty per
cent, of the soft-coal mined in Penn
sylvania should be ordered, it Is hoped
to avoid this. The existing agreement,
expires on April 1 and it is hoped to
have all differences adjusted before
then.
The operators declined to grant an
eight-hour day "from bank to bank"
yesterday; a holiday every other Sat
urday; a weekly pay; and that all cars
be delivered to and from the miner's
working place. After long consider
ation they tabled for further action
a demand for an increase of five per
cent, on all yardage and dead work
rates, where paid by the hour, scale
rates to bd paid at 37.27 cents per
hour.
