Opposed to Granting
Increase Demanded
New York, March 25. Anthracite
mine operator! went on record Fri
day as opposed to granting the hard
coal diggers' deWnd for an increase
in wages of at least 17 7-10 per cent
more than the 27 per cent advance
just granted the bitumii. us miners.
Statistics and data to show that
the earnings of the anthracite and
soft coal workers were on an
"equitable basis" were introduced by
the mine owners at the session of
the sub-committee appointed by
both aides to negotiate a new wage
agreement for the hard coal ftelds.
Although the employers admitted

scale might not now be as high as
that paid the bituminous men, they
pointed out that the earnings were
about the same" as the anthracite
miners "got, in more working days
in a year."
