Baer Admits 37 Collieries and High Wages Stand
The statement from Baer to the Anthracite Strike Commissioner outlines that his company operates thirty seven collieries and employed 26,829 workers before the strike. He denounces a 20 percent wage increase to piece work as arbitrary and unjust and defends current wage rates as high given mining conditions. He also denies earnings are lower than other local skilled occupations and rejects claims of danger-based insufficient pay. He deems a 20 percent wage cut with no earnings reduction impracticable.
