Anthracite Operators reject miners wage and hours plan
In New York on March 1, the United Mine Workers and anthracite operators released a joint statement detailing why operators rejected the miners proposed contract. The plan called for an eight hour day, wage adjustments, and a new sliding scale, but operators argued the changes were unwarranted and would threaten production, favoring the open shop. The discussion noted past conciliation delays and proposed continuing current terms through April 1, with arbitration if needed. John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers prepared for a convention, while operators maintained no new agreement would be reached.
