'Force or On July 26th the mine workers pre- sented their first ultimatum—closed shop and check-off. The operators of- fered 2 basis of settlement or arbitra- tion. The mine workers refused. both, and broke off negotiations. On August 15th the United States Coal Commission intervened and the parties agreed to resume negotiations. On August 21st the mine workers pre- sented their second ultimatum—a 20 per cent increase for the contract men and a 40 per cent increase to day men, adding $90,000,000 annually to wages. This ul- timatum for increase on top of war-peak wages is not justified by the coal commis- sion’s report, and would add $2 per ton to the price of domestic coal. The op- erators again offered arbitration. The mine workers not only refused arbitration but refused to hold the con- ference in session pending further ad- vice from the coal commission. The miners union declares:— “We refused to await word from the coal commission because we are not making any requests to the commission and are not pledging with the coal commission or any other governmental agency to as- sist us in defeating the operators in this contest.” In 1922 the miners union declared: “We refused arbitration from ‘the President of the United States, notwithstanding that all the pres- sure of the government was back of the proposal.” The official record from.Atlantic City is as follows:— Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 21, 1923. Mr. John Hays Hammond, Chairman U. S. Coal Commission, Washington, D. €. My Dear Sir: At the sessien of the joint conference held today the following resolution was offéred by the mine workers’ represent- ative, to wit: “Resolved, That the con- tract wage scales be increased twenty per cent (20%), and that all day men be granted an increase in wages of $2 per day.” On this resolution the miners voted “Aye,” the operators voted “No.” The following resolution was offered by the operators’ representatives: “That Reason? the contract and d»y wage scales of the agreement now in force shall be renewed for a period ending March 31st, 1925.” On this resolution the operators voted “Aye,” the miners voted “No.” The following resolution was offered by the operators’ representatives, to wit: “Whereas, the mine workers have de- clared that further negotiations are fu- tile, be-it resolved: “l. That all of the eleven demands shall be submitted to arbitration. If arbi- trators can not be mutually agreed upon, then the President of the United Statds shall be requested to appoint arbitrators. It is understood that no downward revi- sion of the wage scales shall be made. “2. That there shall be no cessation of production pending the consideration of the demands by the arbitrators, and that the finding shall be retroactive to September 1st.” On this resolution the operators voted “Aye,” and the miners voted “No.” A motion was made by the miners that the committee adjourn. On this metion the miners voted “Aye,” the operators voted “No.” The following resolution was offered by the operators’ representatives: “Resolved, That the secretary be in- structed to advise the United States Coal Commission of the present status of the negbtiations, and that the joint subcom- mittee hold itself in readiness for consid- eration of such suggestions as they may make.” On this resolution the operators voted “Aye,” the miners voted “No.” Representatives of the operators of- fered the following resolutions: “Resolved, That the secretary be di- rected to notify the United States Coal Commission of the present status as to the negotiations; that the committee ad- journ to meet at the call of the secretary.” The foregoing resolution was unani- mously adopted.
