"The first demand for a 20 per cent. Increase In the price paid during 1901 to employes performing contract or piece work is arbitrary, unreasonable and unjust. This company denies that there is any such similarity between the mining of anthracite and bituminous coal as to make the wages paid for one a standard for the other. It denies that the rate of wages in the mines operated by this company is lower than that in the bituminous fields, where the coal output competes actively with the products of this company's mines. This company avers that the standard of living In the anthracite region is equal to the average of American workmen and that the towns and cities of the anthracite region are better than the mining towns of the bituminous coal fields throughout the United States. This company does not and will not discriminate against the workmen belonging to the United Mine Workers of America, or any other labor organization. so long as they perform satis factory work and behave like lawabiding people should, but the company will at all times employ any person it sees fit and will not permit any labor organization to limit the right of employment to members of its organization."The president will return to Memphis on the morning of Wednesday, the 10th Inst., and during that day and evening will participate in the celebration In honor of General Luke Wright, vice governor of the Philippines.
