COAL BARONS' WAGE OFFER IS REJECTED

Anthracite Seale Board Will ISol Accept Proposed 13 Percent Increase. Dy Asi'U;it'l Pre?: NL1W YORK. April 27. The general scale committee of the anthracite mine workers at a. meeting lato Tuesday, reje-ctec the counter offer of tho operators covering their wage demards. The operators, it was learned offered wage increa.srs averaging approximately 15 percent, but did not grant th" dosed shop or the universal eight hoar day. The scale men instructed their representatives to report their action to the operators at Wednesday night's meeting of the subcommittee appointed to negotiate the new agreement and make further efforls to get a more favorable proposition. The miners' committeemen, it was stated, were unanimous in rejecting the offer. Half of Demand. The operators' offer of a wage inrrease averaging around 15 perce-nt. give.s the miners about half as much as their modified demand relating to wages asked. In this demand the min rs asked an advance equal t the- award recently given the bituminous coal diggers by the presi-de-ntial coal commission which amounted to approximately a 3u percent increase for the contract miner and $1 a day for the day workers. The miners' demand for a closed shop contract and an eight hour day was denied also hy the operators as were a number of others of the 17 demands f. resented by the anthracite workers. Text of Ur)ly. Tho text of the written reply of the operators to th.e miners was as withheld Tue sday by the subcommittee in charge of the negotiations. They said that the counter offer could'not be made public until after the meeting of the subcommittee scheduled for seven o'clock Wednesday night. After receiving the operators' answer at Tuesday's conference of th subcommittee, an adjournment was taken ami an executive session of the miners' scale committee was called in a downtown hotel. At this time John I. Dewls. international president of th" min workers, read the operators' reply and explained it to the- calemen other miners' representatives also address-d the men. The committee then authorized their representatives to notify the operators that their proposals were rejected. No omiiUMit. Mr. Iewis dvlined Tuesday night to make any comment on the orerttors offer with the statement that he was "non-committal." District oriicials of th mine workers intimated, however, that a statement probably would be issued Wednesday covering the situation. MineiV representatives said Tuesday night that, should the miners s'and on their counter offers as final, their next move would be to call a tri-disttict convention of mln workers. The- matter will be laid before the miners for final action. Ppon the ronvention will r-st the responsibility of whether a strike shall be called. One of th proposals for the controversy already under consideration, is to nppe-al Pres't Wilson for the appointment of an arbitration commission similar to th" one which finally de-cided the bituminousworkers' demands.

"Washington, chairman of the house immigration committee, presented a report by committee investigators on more than 300 cases-, in which it wa ssald Mr. Post had cancelled or delayed deportations recommended by immigration authorities.

He adb.l that there had been "many plain violations of th- law" but Rep.

Hoch. republican, Kansas, author of the resolution that led to the Investigation in which Mr. Post was allegl-d to have released accuse d agitators without awaiting to review the evidence on which the charges were predicated.

Mr. Johnson charged In this con-ne-'ction that Mr. Post called for as many as a hundred cases a day in order to release accused aliens. WhPe the Hoch resolution looks to a possible Impeachment proce. -dings against Mr. Post, republican leaders plan for a complete preliminary inquiry by the rulefl committee and In event of an adverse finding to propose a resolution, calling for Mr. Post's removal.
