“THE WORTD: WEDNESDAY EVENING, STARCH et, TOUR. 2, “MINE OWNERS \ mining conditions. ‘W. H. Truesdale, J, B. Kerr, David ‘Witcox, Morris Williams, E. B. Thomas and J. L. Cake, to-day made oublic a wtatement declaring, in substance, that “the idea that the Mine-Workers’ Union @emands only a 10 per cent, increase In wages 1s a delusion.” The statement sets forth that tho average increase under the scale de- manded would be near 90 per cent, for outside men and “wouki mean a ver! table revolution in mining conditions.” ‘The statement says In part: “It is a mistake to assume that an eight-hour day and a 10 ver cent. ‘wage increase represents the sum total of the demands of the anthracite | miners, They insist besides on a unl- form wage scale for one hundred and forty-six separate and distinct classes | of workmen about the mines. They demand equal pay for the engineer who) runs a little ten-horse power engine and the man who has a giant Corliss im his charge. They allow no more for the men working under great dificul- ties and danger than fer the same class of workers at posts of ease and simplicity. Some Big Increases. “For years opermtor and employes fhave recognized the different value of labor in different localities and even in the different sections of the same eolliery, The new and tniform scale ‘would place every man on the same ‘esis, increasing the wages of some men as much as 16 per cent. The av- erage increase under the uniform seale would be near 30 ver cont. for outside men, The proposed schedule would mean a veritable revolution In “Figures taken from the records of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company typity eondions generally. There are hoist- ing engineers in the Hazleton mine of the Lehigh Valley Division who now receive 13.4 cents per hour but who _ ‘would, under the uniform scale, receive 338 cents, “he uniform schedule of 121-2 cents @n hour demanded for all boys working fag slate pickers would result in more than doubling the remuneration of thou- sands of the youngest boys. There are plenty of men who are not able or do rot care for heavier work who are getting round 121-2 cents an hour and up to 161, yet these children who work as late pickers would receive nearly as myuch. Some of them now get 6.9 centa ‘en hour, The new rate would increase . this 111 per cent. “There are masons in the Mahanoy and Shamokin divisions who would have their pay increased 115 per cent. They now get 17.4 cents an hour and 871-2 Is demanded. Would Double Wages. Some screen tenders in the Sioux ‘Mine, same divisions, would reocelve practically twice as much as now. Cer reaker engineers in the Mahanoy ‘aga Shamokin Divisions now receive 129 cents an hour. Their work is easy. % 1s without danger. It does not re- quire more than ordinary ability, Yet it 4s proposed to more than double their eatery, adding 117 per cent, and making ‘a total of 23.1 cents an hour. “Blacksmiths would have increases up go Gl per cent., dumpers up to 79, while would get within a cent of double on their present pay. ‘The committee mentions many other in which the increase of pay ‘would be very lance. : E. P. SMITH IS DEAD. BINGHAMTON, March 2.—BH. P. Smith, senior member of the firm of Bmith, Kinney & Co., one of the most manufacturers in this city, they arrested Miss EMfe King and the proprietor of the hotel, James L. Mar- shall. To-day in the West Side Police Court Hughes, with difficulty concealing hi emotion, said he beheld Miss King @ancing a dance that involved much kicking and more lingerie than he ever saw since he was transfqrred from the Flatiron beat. Miss King showed con- siderable indignation when her chance to talk came. “T have @ part in ‘The Vanderbilt Cup,'"’ she said, “After the perform- ance last night I went out with a party of friends for supper, and that's all. I was just walking around the dining- room, looking at the pictures when this dotective came up." “Didn't you dance a lttie?” ingulred the Magistrate. “Never,"' replied Miss King, ‘Tam a lover of art and I just walked around, looking at the pictures as am lady would." Magistrate Breen ia something of an art fanctor himself, He discharged Miss King. REBATE.
