These employees are engaged in-the production of anthra cite in a comparatively small geographic area where mines are characterized by marked physical differences. The wage structure of the industry must of n eces sity take into account these physical characteristics in order to provide relatively uniform earnings. To accomplish this relative uniformity, an extensive system of contract (piece) rates has been constructed. The general wage changes and related practices for the period 1930 to 1951 are reported in this chronology.1 Over 95 percent of our domestically produced anthracite is mined in a 500-square-mile area in five counties 2 in northeastern Pennsylvania. Although some 90 companies operate cleaning and preparation plants for the production of com m ercial sizes of hard coal, 8 of them account for approximately threefifths of the total output. About 75 percent of the total production is used for space heating (e. g. , private dwellings, office buildings, hospitals, and schools). The remainder is used for industrial purposes. Because so much is used as heating fuel, fluctuations in consumption and production bear a direct relation to the weather. The United Mine Workers of Am erica (Ind. ) succeeded a number of other labor organizations 3 and in 1951 represented the majority of the Nation's anthracite miners. Although no formal meetings were held nor was an agreement signed, the union obtained its first wage increase in 1900. The next year, the verbal agreement was extended without a wage change. At the expiration of this agree ment, in February 1902, and after continued efforts to negotiate, a vote to suspend work was taken. In the fifth month of this work stoppage, a committee known as the Anthracite Coal Commission was appointed by the President of the United States to study and decide the issues in the case. 4 The award of the Commission provided for a wage increase and, for the first time in the history of the industry, 1 For the purpose and scope of the wage chronology series, see Monthly Labor Review, December 1948 (p. 581). 2 The counties are: Luzerne, Schuylkill, Lackawanna, Northumberland, and Carbon. The other anthraciteproducing counties are: Susquehanna, Sullivan, Dauphin, and Columbia. Dredge coal only is produced in Lancaster, Lebanon, Northampton, and Snyder Counties. 3 The following is a brief summary of previous organizations: 1849-50— Bates Union at Schuylkill; 1850-61— no organization; 1861—65— American Miners' Association; 1864-76— Workingmen's Benevolent Society; 1873 WBS changed name to Miners' National Association; 1877-88— Knights of Labor organized some miners under name of National Trade Assembly, No. 135; 1883—85— Amalgamated Association of Miners; 1885— AAM succeeded by National Federation of Miners and Mine Laborers; 1888— NFMML changed name to National Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers; and 1890— National Progressive Union and Knights of Labor (National Trade Assembly, No. 135) joined to form United Mine Workers. Twenty-one districts were organized, one of them being District 1, Anthracite, Pennsylvania. 4 The operators agreed that the Commission should consist of five men: An officer of the Army or Navy; a mining engineer, not connected with the anthracite or bituminous industry; a Federal judge of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; a sociologist; and a man who was active in mining and selling coal. 1 2 set forth provisions governing hours of work and related conditions. Subsequent' agreements between the parties have followed the pattern of this award. The first written agreement negotiated by a committee representing the operators and the United Mine Workers was a 3-year extension of this award and was effective from 1906 to 1909. The wage structure of the anthracite mining industry is very complex because of the physical composition of the coal veins (whether they are narrow or wide, flat, horizontal or vertical, or a combination of any of these properties). Rates are also determined by the amount of rock encountered in the vein. The evolution of the present wage structure, therefore, has involved a historical variation in methods of compensation among areas, jobs, and for the same job among locations at the mine. Workers in an anthracite mine are classified as either inside employees or outside employees. Inside workers are further classified as (1) miners and laborers who cut and load coal onto conveyors or into mine cars, and (2) all other employees whose occupations relate to transportation, timbering, pumping, ventilation, and other general underground work. Licensed or contract m in ers’ rates are complicated to a great degree by the varying physical characteristics, and piece rates are largely determined by these circumstances. Contract m in ers’ rates are generally based on an amount of coal (measured by mine cars loaded or yard advanced in the coal vein) supple mented by separate contract rates covering special conditions. In some situations, miners receive hourly rates in addition to contract (piecework) rates during a pay roll period. 5 When a licensed miner works for hourly and daily rates he is classified as either a consideration miner or a company miner. 6 Inside em ployees, other than contract m iners, and all outside employees are paid at hourly, daily, or monthly rates. Premium payments for all employees except contract miners are com puted at one and a half times the basic rate for work in excess of 7 hours a day and on the 6th consecutive day of the week; and double time on the 7th consecutive day. Contract miners working on the 6th consecutive day receive one and a half times their average daily earnings for the pay period computed at contract rates; for the 7th consecutive day, they receive double time. In addition, all employees receive premium pay for work on the second and third shifts. Inside employees receive pay for travel time; outside employees have an amount equivalent to travel-tim e pay added to their basic rates. Additional payments are made to contract workers on a per diem basis because the daily increases granted in the recent years have not been translated into their contract rates. 5 The practice of employing contract miners’ laborers is confined primarily to District 1 of the anthracite mining region. From 1920 to and including the agreement of May 20, 1941, the parties operated under a formula which was used to determine the proportionate share of the contract laborer's total earnings to be paid by the contract miner and by the operator. During this period, the custom in the anthracite industry was to negotiate general wage changes on a percentage basis. In applying these increases to the contract laborer's earnings, the miner and the operator each contributed his predetermined share. After the 1941 agreement, wage increases to contract miners and their laborers have been uniformly negotiated or directed in terms of a specified amount per day. The full amounts of such in creases have been assumed and paid by the operator. Thus, in 1951, the miner contributed that portion of the laborer's earnings for which he was responsible under the agreement of May 20, 1941, and the operators paid the balance, together with all increases since the agreement. In a few imtances, the laborers share in the incentive earnings of the contract miner. The 1952 agreement provided that "where (at individual collieries) any new contract rates have been negotiated since Oct. 1, 1941, . . . (the) increase of 20 percent over and above the contract rates so established shall be applied to such rates. " 6 In addition, some areas have a system of "buddy" mining. Under this arrangement, two contract miners work together (instead of a contract miner and a laborer) and share their earnings equally. 3 Table D of this chronology which was collected and compiled by the industry’s Anthracite Operators’ Wage Agreement Committee shows earnings for selected mining occupations. Full-time daily and weekly earnings are reported for all workers and include straight-time payments and all premium payments. The data for contract miners represent the full-tim e average daily earnings at contract rates, based on a full 7-hour day, although the miners frequently work less than 7 hours. Excluded from earnings is the amount repres enting pur chases, by contract miners, of explosives and other tools and supplies. Since operators and the union had bargained collectively for many years, the first provisions in this chronology reported for 1930 do not necessarily indicate changes from prior conditions of employment. The 1951 agreement, effective February 1, was an amendment to the June 7, 1946, agreement, which had amendments as of July 10, 1947; July 3, 1948; and March 9, 1950. It could be terminated on 60 days' written notice by either party after March 31, 1952. 1 9 5 2 -5 4 Anthracite mine operators and representatives of the United Mine Workers (Ind. ) met August 19, 1952, to discuss terms of a new wage agreement. The latest amendment to their basic 1946 contract had been in effect since January 26, 1951. The union, on August 1, 1952, had served written notice that the contract would be terminated as of September 30, 1952. On September 17, 1952, the parties signed an "interim " agreement, effective October 1, providing for in creased payments by operators to the UMW welfare fund. Discussion of wages was postponed until a settlement had been reached in the bituminous - coal industry. When the interim pact on contributions to the welfare fund was presented to the Wage Stabilization Board for approval, it ruled that such approval was not necessary, since the increased payments were not designed to provide additional benefits but only to insure maintenance of benefits at the level of January 25, 1951. After the bituminous - coal operators and the union reached an agreement late in September 1952, anthracite producers and the UMW started w a g e n e g o tiations and, on November 1, signed a further amendment to the 1946 contract, to go into effect on November 16, 1952. The amended contract could be term i nated on 60 days’ written notice by either party on or after September 30, 1953. Its terms provided for a general wage increase equivalent7 to that negotiated for the soft-coal miners and for continuation of the interim agreement which had established operators' contributions to the union welfare fund at 50 cents a ton of coal produced for use or sale. 8 By direction of the President, the Administrator of the Economic Stabili zation Agency instructed the Wage Stabilization Board, on December 4, 1952, to approve the bituminous coal agreement and also to extend approval to coal cases 7 The overall average increase of $1.90 a day comprised an average increase of about $2.30 a day in pay for contract miners, and $1.66 in day rates. The $1.66 was arrived at by applying the 23.7-cent hourly increase negotiated in bituminous coal for an 8 -hour day to the 7 -hour day of the anthracite industry. 8 On Jan. 19, 1954, the board of trustees of the Anthracite Health and Welfare Fund announced a 50-percent cut in pension and death benefits because of a continuing decline in revenue resulting from the steady drop in Digitized foranthracite FRASER production in recent years. 4 in which a tandem relationship existed. Administrative approval of the anthra cite agreement was announced on December 8, 1952, by the chairman and the executive director of the Board. On December 15, 1952, the Wage Stabilization Committee, empowered to carry on the work of the Board (which in the meantime had become inoperative), issued Resolution No. 4, which authorized payment of the increases in the anthracite industry retroactively to November 16, 1952. 1956 Members of the Anthracite Operators’ Wage Agreement Committee and representatives of the United Mine Workers of Am erica (Ind. ) met at Wilkes— Barre, Pa. , on November 27, 1956, and signed the first amendment to the basic hard coal contract since November 1952. The settlement was reached after the committee agreed to the request of the union that a 60-day contract reopening notice be waived. Almost 2 months earlier, a settlement had been reached in the bituminous coal industry. 9 Terms of the anthracite agreement became effective it can be terminated by either party on or after December least 60 days1 written notice has been given. In addition creases, improved premiums for work on weekends, and holiday pay were also negotiated. on December 1, 1956; 1, 1957, provided at to general wage in higher vacation and 1 9 5 8 -5 9 On October 30, 1958, the anthracite coal mine operators received from the United Mine Workers of America (Ind. ) formal notice of termination of con tract, effective December 31, 1958. This notice of termination was in accordance with provisions of the agreement signed in November of 1956. Contract talks began at W ilkes-Barre, Pa. , on December 8, 1958, and continued until agreement on terms was announced on January 14, 1959. In ad dition to a general wage increase effective February 1, 1959, the mine operators agreed to increase royalty payments to the m in ers’ health and welfare fund and to raise vacation pay. "As an aid to enforcement of contract provisions, " a new clause permits union representatives to inspect company records on data relating to wages, hours, and working conditions. The amended agreement was effective as of February 1, 1959, and may be terminated on or after January 31, I960, upon 60 days’ notice given by either party. 1964 Wage-rate changes negotiated by the United Mine Workers of America (UMW) and the Anthracite Operators Wage Agreement Committee were less fr e quent in the post-Korean period than in the years immediately following World War II. In the 7-year interval— 1946 to 1952—six wage increases raised m in ers’ hourly rates of pay by a total of $1,064. From 1952 to m id -1965, wage rates were increased $0,407 an hour by three contracts, and earnings an additional 7. 9 cents an hour by an increase in the lunch allowance. The 1952 agreement remained unchanged for over 4 years; then earnings of noncontract miners were increased $1.50 a day in 1956. Contract and con sideration miners and laborers, and machine and mechanical mining equipment operators were increased $2 a day, or 50 cents m ore than noncontract miners. 9 See Wage Chronology: Bituminous Coal Mines, 1933-66 (BLS Bulletin 1461, Sept. 1965) p. 2. 5 In 1959, m ore than 2 years later, earnings were raised $ 1 a day. This agreement also instituted two new provisions, with some limitations. The first, guaranteed miners who reported but were not put to work 2 hours1 pay at the regular rate plus travel and lunch payments. The second provision also guaran teed 2 hours' pay, at double the regular rate, to miners who had left the mine and were then requested to return. No further increases were negotiated for 53/4 years. In 1964, the first meeting of the parties to discuss changes in wage rates and working conditions was held on May 18, about IV2 months after a new contract had been concluded for bituminous coal miners. Discussions were relatively in form al; no written notice of intention to reopen the agreement was served on the operators, and the parties did not make specific demands or offers. Bargaining discussions continued intermittently for 4 months and were concluded on September 1, 1964, when the union and the operators agreed, on the monetary side, to increase wages, raise the vacation and lunch allowances, and for the first time, provide paid holidays. Numerous provisions relating to seniority, enforcement of terms of health and welfare fund, mine safety, and grievances were improved and a provision that extended the protection of the agreement to employees of trucking contractors was added. The parties estimated that the general wage changes and the improved benefits in the 1964 contract increased the earnings of most employees by $ 1. 26 a day. For workers in machine and mechanical mining jobs, the increase amounted to $1.86 a day. Daily rates of pay for inside and outside employees, including contract miners and laborers, went up to 35 cents a day on the effective date of the agreement. Machine and mechanical miners received an additional 60 cents a day. The daily earnings of both groups were further increased when the lunch allowance—instituted in 1963 and unchanged since then—was raised by 55. 2 cents a day. A boost of $25, to $185 annually, in vacation pay, plus the institution of 3 paid holidays, was estimated by the parties to have added 36 cents a day to earnings. The 1964 vacation allowance, paid in June of that year, was raised to the new level by a supplemental payment before the Christmas holiday. Although the UMW had negotiated with the operators since the early 1900’s, the contract did not provide premium pay for work on holidays until 1944. Orginally, 6 holidays were included; later— in 1946— the list was extended to 8 holidays. Twenty years after the initial provision, 3 paid holidays were agreed to, the first in either the bituminous or anthracite coal industry. In 1943, industrywide strikes grew out of the inability of the operators and the union to agree on wages and working conditions. To maintain the supply of this commodity, the Government took over operation of the mines and shortly thereafter an agreement with the Secretary of the Interior provided that a 30minute lunch period be reduced to 15 minutes, and daily earnings be increased by 37.8 cents. A compensatory payment of .504 cents for work on Sundays and holidays was provided in the March 8, 1944, agreement. These allowances were not changed until September 1, 1964, when the standard allowance was set at 93 cents a day, and the Sunday-holiday payment at $1.23. The 1964 agreement covered approximately 25, 000 United Mine Workers of Am erica members and pension beneficiaries. It may be reopened or term i on 60 days' written notice by either party after August 31, 1966. nated 6 A ---- Changes in Basic W ages and Hours E ffe c t iv e d ate N o r m a l s c h e d u le of w ork D a ily h o u r s D ays p a id f o r per A t the w eek T o ta l site A m ou n t o f w age ch an ge A p p lic a t io n s , e x c e p t io n s , and o th e r r e la t e d m a tt e r s O u tsid e C om p a n y W o r k e r s S ept. 1, 1930 (a g r e e m e n t o f A u g . 8, 1930).
