Operators Reject All Of Mitchell's Offer For Anthracite
The United Mine Workers President John Mitchell's last proposals were rejected by the Operators' Committee of Seven in Jersey City. The reply, mailed to Mitchell, states that only the operators' two alternative propositions are acceptable and that failure to accept them places strike responsibility on Mitchell and his aides. The letter notes three-year duration as the desirable term and argues wage increases would hurt the public, with estimates showing a potential $12,000,000 rise in costs and a 35 cent per ton rise on domestic sizes if sliding scale is used. The region braces for a possible strike as Thursday's meeting looms and Mitchell awaits further word.
