| would be a contract without equal re-
sponsibility on the part of each, the
operators being responsible and ac-
countable for the performance of their
part of the agreement, but the miners’
committees were not. The operators
stated that such a procedure was not
good business, and should not be
expected.
This question was then temporarily
laid aside by. the operators, while the
proposed scales were submitted. The
miners submitted a scale, which they
afterwards withdrew, admitting that
its acceptance was not possible. On
the 12th of April they presented
another scale, which was on the lines
of the 1903 scale, but with certain ad-
ditional conditions as to dead work,
ete., that the operators showed would
practically mean a 12 per cent advance
over the cost of mining based on the
1903 scale. This scale was refused by
the operators. The operators, however,
offered the miners the following scale,
and stated that they would sign an
agreement with the miners for this
scale, the same to take effect April 1,
1906, and end March 31, 1907.

mines, except company men and
monthly men who shall work the num-
ber of hours required. It is understood
and agreed, however, that the trip

shall make the extra time required to
clean up and deliver outside all coal

in the interpretation of the question at

The miners’ scale committee refused
to accept this scale and agreement pre-
sented by the operators, and the con-
vention then adjourned sine die. The
operators afterwards decided to offer
their employes the 1903 scale of wages
and posted the following:

at this mine and have been in practice
thereat during the scale year ending
March 31st, 1906.
The miners of the Beech Creek Coal
& Coke company in the Patton district
held a mass meeting Monday morning,
April 30th, and decided to not accept
the operators’ scale of wages and con-
ditions printed above and declared a
strike.
| The operators all through the con-
vention at Clearfield contended and
still contend for the ‘open shop’
| policy. That is, that they will not
| refuse employment or discriminate
against any man simply because he is
or is not a member of a labor organi-
zation, and likewise insist that there
shall be no discrimination or interfer
ence with any employe who is not a
| member of a labor organization, by
any officer or member of said labor
organization. This is what is meant

First. No person will be refused March 31st, 1906, and deadwork which
employment, or in any way discrimi- | has been paid for the preceding year is
to be paid for during the term of this

above, but no change is to be demanded

such as belong to it, the same as other
unions or orders do. The operators
offer practically the wages the miners
ask, which are the highest wages paid
in 34 years, and to such as do not pay
the checkoff of three per cent it would
mean they would receive the
highest wages paid since 1872.
It therefore, that the
miners are not striking because they
are not offered sufficient wages. Their
refusal to arbitrate differences between
the employer and employes, as set
forth above in the proposition of oper-
ators, in view of the continued efforts
of the union, through John Mitchell,
for arbitration in the anthracive region,
has caused the operators to question
the sincerity of their advocacy of arbi-
tration as a principal of their organi-
zation.
