THE COMING STRUGGLE IN kTHE…
THE COMING STRUGGLE IN k THE COALFIELD. Those who read our report, last week, of the mass meeting of miners, held at Cross Hands, will have noticed that Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, in his speech, laid considerable emphasis upon the new demands of the miners of the South Wales coalfield, and went into a lengthy explanation of the course which will be followed by the Miners Federation in regard to the wage question. The "price list" which he stated has been adopted by the Executive and confirmed by a conference of the delegates of the whole coalfield is one which has a most important bearing upon the future of the relations between coal- owners and workmen, and we have, therefore, thought it advisable to pub- lish it in full in our present issue. In our Welsh page, under the heading of "Y Byd Glofaol," Mr. John Harries ("Irlwyn") gives in detail, not only the list of prices fixed by the Execu- tive Council of the Federation, but the actual earnings of the workers in the various grades as arrived at by means of the present percentages JUt>- 011 the standard—60 per cent, being added in every case. To supplement that clearly-expressed statement of the importance of the issue, we have quoted in our English columns the full text of the "conditions" laid down by the Federation, as affecting surface workers as well as under- ground workmen. The value of the increase demanded can, therefore, be seen by all. And we do this because, although the list has been officially sent out by the Federation, few, as yet, of those whose wages are to be affected by it have seen it, and fewer still have had an opportunity of perus- ing its details. True, half-a-dozen copies, or so, have been received at each Lodge, but, beyond being in the hands of secretaries and check- weighers, the list has not had the publicity which it so obviously de- serves. Why do we say this? Well, because a list of a definite character, involving drastic changes in the wage- rate, and in the earnings of all classes of colliery workers, is an absolute matter of "bread and cheese"—and whatever else may come with bread and cheese and because it is the sub- ject around which, beyond que; aon, the coming struggle in the South Wales coalfield will take place. Not only will it be a struggle in 1915, when the Wage Agreement is to be revised, but as the Federation insists upon applying the schedule to every new seam and every new colliery that may be opened out in the meantime, it becomes a topic of immediate interest. There are some who imagine that the list will not be in- sisted upon, and that, in any event, it cannot be enforced until that wage agreement comes under consideration, two years hence. The attitude adopted by the Federation, however, and emphasized at last week's mass meeting by Mr. Hartshorn, and in our present issue by Mr. John Harries, clearly indicates that the raising of the minimum wage of some, and the fixing of a minimum for others, has become a burning question; that its application in its gradual form is to be immediate and that, as the weeks roll on, it will be found to be the central feature in the coming struggle between employers and workmen throughout the coal- field. We are, on that account, glad to be able to place the facts and figures at the disposal of our readers before any other newspaper has taken up a question of such vital import.
