New York, May 4.—Anthracite coal
operators of the Joint subcommittee
en wage negotiations yesterday re
fused to subscribe to a resolution of
fered by the miners, calling upon fed
eral authorities to begin an Immediate
investigation of tbe anthracite indus
try. from mine to consumer.
Several reasons were cited by the
miners for calling upon the govern
ment at this time. They alleged that
prices to the consumer were exces-
sire; that reductions were essential to
the public welfare; that profits in dis
tribution and sale of the product were
Imperiling rights of capital and labor
to fair returns; that freight rates were
exhobrtant and designed to handicap
producers not owning railroads; that
fair rates to tidewater would cut $2.63
a ton from the price to the consumer
and that needless agencies for distribu
tion added unwarranted margins of
profit to retail prices.
The miners proposed that an inves
tigation should at once be made by the
Interstate Commerce Commission of
freight rates charged for the transpor
tation of anthracite coal with the end
in view of ordering a reduction of such
rates If they are found to be unreas
onable and unjust.
John B. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, of
fered the proposal .in behalf of his or
ganization. It had been signed by
Philip Murray, vice-president, and
three district presidents of organized
labor in the anthracite region.
In refusing to sign the resolution,
Samuel D. Warrlner, spokesman for
the operators, declared they did not
propose to join the miners In a course
which would “tend to confuse rather
than clarify the situation” on Issues
“not within the jurisdiction of the Joint
committee of miners and operators
constituted to negotiate n new con
tract covering wages and working con
ditions."
"To concern itself with anything
else can only delay and complicate so
lution of the issue with which it Is
dealing." he continued. "That is. the
formulation of a fair wage scale and
reasonable working conditions. The
operators decline to be diverted from
this task by proposals which, whether
desirabel or not.’having no bearing
upon the task of providing a basis for
the resumption of anthracite produc
tion.”
