Two years later a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jessie S, Singer, was burned to death when her clothing caught fire whilo she was cooking at a gas stove.

(The miners are now demanding substantial concessions, entail- ing such additional burdens upon the operation of our mines that we deem it our duty to frankly and fully lay before the public the problem which confronts us—a problem which will ultimately affect every user of anthracite coal. The demand for 20% in- crease in wages alone will in the aggregate bring about an increase in the cost of anthracite coal to consumers exceeding Twenty-three Million Dollars a year. The operation of the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania repre- sents an investment of upwards of $275,000,000 in plant and equip- ment, in addition to the value of the coal lands leased by the operators. Mining, though carried on by the most scientific methods, yields an exceedingly small return upon the actual capital invested, and while it is to be freely admitted that certain mines, worked under peculiarly favorable conditions, yield liberal profits, it is equally true that many anthracite mines, the product of which is needed by the public, are at present either operated at no profit, or with so narrow a margin of profit that it is a matter of indifference to the operator whether or not they continue to be operated. The average returns are entirely too small to meet the increased cost of additional compensation to miners, or substantial changes in conditions of employment, without a consequent increase in the price of coal to the consumer. We believe that the users of anthracite coal are vitally inter- ested in the readjustment on April 1, 1916, of the relations between the operators and the miners. We propose to acquaint anthracite coal users with the vital conditions of the industry, as well as with the social and working conditions of the army of 180,000 employes, engaged in the operation of the mines. Because of the extraordinary industrial conditions—caused by the European war, which causes have in no degree benefited the anthracite industry—the price of labor has rapidly advanced. A determined effort will be made by the miners to secure increased wages which would be unexpected and unwarranted in ordinary times. Such demands, it granted, would place a heavy and per- manent burden upon every user of anthracite coal. We have conceived it to be our duty to inform the users of anthracite coal of the state of affairs, in order that an enlightened public sentiment may operate to fairly adjust the conditions which ‘will arise, and which must be discussed and determined within the next few weeks. If, after such presentation, the users of anthracite coal say it is our duty to make a large advance in the income of the miners and others employed in the industry, and are prepared to meet the advanced cost by paying a higher price for coal, now is the time to say so, and we can meet the issue on that basis, but if the anthracite coal-using public is opposed to such concessions its voice should be plainly heard. The coal operators desire to deal justly with their employes, granting every fair request, but they also deem it their duty to protect the coal-consuming public and to conserve its interest, just as they purpose to protect, so far as they are able, their own interests. We believe that our employes are entitled to receive reason- able wages to meet living conditions, comparable with wages paid in other similar lines ot industry, where equal chances for steady employment are offered, provided our employes are willing to co- operate, with their energy and thrift, in securing reasonable effi- . ciency; and that the operators are entitled to receive a reasonable * return on their investment, because in this way only can the neces- sary capital be secured to develop. the mines for the increasing public — necessities; and we also believe that the consumer should be - able to buy his coal at the lowest possible price after these conditions are met. | It is in this spirit that the coal operators approach this vital problem, and they ask fair consideration, by the coal-consuming public, of such facts as will be presented to them, in the belief that this intelligent consideration will insure an equitable adjustment of the approaching negotiations. ‘ SCRANTON COAL COMPANY, By J.
