Cortelyou by authority of those pres ent at the White House made Public the following authorized statement concerning the conference or. J. P. Morgan came to washing ton with his partner or. Bacon at the request of the Coal companies who desired that As a matter of Courtesy their statement should be shown to the president before it was made pub Lic having been Laid before the presi Dent by or. Morgan it is now Given to the press. The Public the managers of the different Coal properties comps the Anthracite Coal Fields wish their position in the present strike to be understood and therefore Malie the following statement of facts there Are in the Anthracite regions about 75 operating companies and firms and 1-17.000 miners and work men of which 30.000 Are under comprising Twenty nationalities and these workmen possibly one half belong to the United mine work ers Union of which or. John Mitchell is president. That organization was originally formed in the bituminous Coal Region and three fourths of its member s Are miners bituminous Coal and bituminous Coal is sold in Active Competition with Anthracite Coal the remaining workmen m the tar acute Fields either belong to no Union whatever or do not belong to the mine workers Union. Reign of the present strike was declared by the mine workers Union on the tenth so of payt 1002. Since thai time Manv workmen not belonging to 01 mines from 37.000 to 20.000 Are now at work. Many More have wished to work but have been prevented by a course of violence and intimidation towards those working and towards lilies. A compared by inc in famines Saccom Paleu us to Titian of property and the fear or death or bodily harm to every who wishes to exercise his right to work a schedule is annexed Here to showing some of the things done n reign of terror and m be verified by reference to the officers in fhe Anthracite Region this violence has continued and steadily increased not huh sampling repeated disavowal by or it Chou and it is Clear that he Ether cannot or will not prevent it and that of to Otec workers cannot be protected under the supremacy of the mine workers Union. Tie Coal companies believe that the Iva yes paid Iii the Coal regions Are fair and full and that All tin business in Normal condition has been Able to tand if the capital invested is to have any reasonable return. The profits Lave been Small several of the companies have become bankrupt and pen reorganized several times. Sev ral have presented dividends the dividends of the others have a Sunil return t or the capital in vested. It is not however the purpose of this to Disi uss this question. The undersigned Are not and never have been to submit All questions Between Idem and their workmen to fair tribunal for decision. They ire not willing to enter into arbitration with the mine workers Union an organization Chiri a composed of men in i rival and competitive interest and they Are not willing to make any arrangement which will secure to the men now working and ail now or hereafter wishing to work whether they belong to the mine workers Union or not the right and Opportunity to work in safety and without per Sonal insult or bodily harm to them selves or to their families. For these reasons the arbitration heretofore proposed have been declined. The new offer. It will be remembered that at the conference in Washington oct. 3 we made the following offer that we would take up at each Colliery any alleged grievance and in the event of a failure to make a satisfactory adjust ment the questions at Issue to be submitted to the final derision of the judges of the court of common pleas of the District in which the Colliery is located. This offer was made by us in Good Faith and we desire Here to re affirm it. The Coal companies realize the urgent Public need of Coal and the apprehension of an adequate Supply for the approaching Winter Calls for an Earnest Effort to reach a practical conclusion which will result in an in creased Supply and the presidents of the companies desire to make an Effort to that end which does not involve the abandonment of the interests committed to their care and of the men who Are working and seeking to work in their mines. This responsibility they must Bear and meet As Best they can. They therefore re state their position that they Are not discriminating against the United mine workers but they insist hat the miners shall not discriminate against or refuse to work with non Union that there shall be no restriction or deterioration in Quantity or Quality of work and that owing to the varying physical conditions of the Anthracite mines each Colliery is a problem by itself. A commission. We suggest a commission to be up pointed by the president of the United states if he is willing to perform that Public service to whom shall be referred All questions at Issue be tween the respective companies and their own employees whether they be Long to a Union or not and the decision of that commission shall be accepted by us. The commission to be constituted As follows "1. An officer in the Engineer corps of either the military or naval ser vice of the United stares. "2. An mining Engineer experienced in the mining of Coal and other Mineral and not in any Way connected with Coal properties either Anthracite or bituminous. "3. One of the judges of the United states courts of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. "4. A Man of prominence eminent As a sociologist. A Man who by Active participation in mining and Selling Coa is familiar with the physical and commercial features of the business. It being the understanding that immediately upon the Constitution of such a com Mission in order that idleness and non production May cease instantly. The miners Wili return to work i tease All interference with and Perse cution of any non Union men who Are working or shall hereafter work. The hurling of this commission shall fix the Date when the same shall be effective and govern the conditions of the employment Between the respective companies and their employees for a term of at least three years.
