Miners Adopt Their Program in Scranton Meeting
Special from United Press. At a Scranton conference March 24 the anthracite miners agreed on a full program aimed at preventing a strike and securing an early adjustment. The plan, to be taken to Philadelphia, includes recognition of the United Mine Workers in a three year renewal, a ten year pay schedule totaling 175 dollars a day and a 5 percent raise for earnings between 1.50 and 2.00 daily, abolishing the conciliation board, direct local dealing, and broader union recognition. If operators refuse concessions, a referendum among miners may decide future policy after April 1. President Lewis says the key points will stand, though district leaders may adjust the plan. In York, coal interests warned operators in New York they may seek a new anthracite strike if Philadelphia talks fail.
