MINERS IN CONFAB Operators Issue Statement of Their Position. “T0 PREVENT MISUNDERSTANDING" Anticipating Mine Workers’ Conven- tien, Owners Fiace Their Case Be. fore Public, Whe Are Inter- ested In Price of Conl. NEW YORK, May 3- Auticlpsting the convention of miners, which open ed ut Bernnton, Pa, today, the anthrn cite coal operators have issued a state went outlining their view of the nego Ustions lo the sullirscite field up to date The object of the statement is “to prevent wisunderstanding of the situa tion which has led to the convention of miners assembled at Scranton.” It de clares that iu the summer of 105 the leaders of the United Mine Workers found their organization rapidly dwin dling; that, having obtained a large wage lucrease as & result of the arbl tration award of the commission ap pointed by President Roosevelt in 1902, the men apparently saw no rea- $00 10 continue to pay union dues. It adds that on June 1 last the total union memberahip was 88810 out of some 170,000 employees. President Mitch. ell's tour of the districts, which, the statement says, resulted in increasing the union membership to SUAST, Is re viewed, apd portions of some of the miners’ leaders’ addresses are quoted. “Balked by the results of this cam- paign.” the statement continues, “and disregarding the fact that the anthra- cite commission had settled the funda- mental principles which should govern the relations between the operators and their employees, the miners’ rep- resentatives came forward on March 1 with an extraordinary list of new de wands. The operators took the posi tion which they have consistently maintained, that on ali questions which had been definitely settled Ly the coal colunissiou Its findings abould be con- tinued." Then, the statement declares, there began the playing of one {odustry against another. Mr. Mitchell went to Indianapolis and with the suggestion that a strike might be called in the an- thracite flelds demanded a large wage increase from the bituminous opers- tors The statement concludes: “Falling with the bituminous operators, Mr. Mitchell now made a further effort to obtain his wants from the anthracite operators. His last demand was for a Hmited wage increase. This Is precise. ly the question which the operators proposed to arbitrate. Hut the fear that a fair arbitration might not repay the wen the union dues, which they were so urgently impressed to pay in order to get uwre, apparently prevents arbitration “The situation now before the people is a most serious one. Every claim of the miners was duly considered by the cotl coumiumission appointed by Presi dent Roosevelt. That commission was universally recognized as able and lm. partial. President Roosevelt iu ap- polating Its members specifically In- structed thew to endeavor to establish the relations between the employers and the wage workers in the anthra- cite flelds on a just and permanent basis.” Must Strike or Back Down, SCRANTON, Pa, May 3 —That the tridistrict couvention of the United Mine Workers, which opened here this morning, will declare a strike through out the hard coal flelds is the opinion of every one in touch with the situa- tion. It seems that there Is no way out of a strike unless the wine workers back down, and all of the delegates are very far from favoring anything approaching a backdown. President Alitchell will give no intimation of the course he will take, but admits that he has determined what to do and 1s as sured the mine workers will stand by bim Americans In Mexican Prison.
