Larkin, umpire of the Anthracite Board of Conciliation, in decision handed down this wei)k on three grievances of mine-workers employed at operations of the Jeddo-Highlund Coal Company in District 7, sustained one, partially another and denied the third.

Martin F. Brennan, president of Provisional District 7, United Mine Workers of America and international representatives' of the organization in the hard coal field, argued the complainants' side of the cases before the Board. f-sU iVi Hj L-, -fl "Mj i jjY V-, i.w,.,jr. fv ALL HAIL OUR WOMEN AT THE FIGHTING FRONT Andrew L.

V. 'V-; complainants than that done by the hoisting engineers at Drifton where the $0.98 rate is paid. To receive a higher rate which they have requested, employees must prove conclusively that their work and responsibility justified such an increase. The record in this case shows that the complainants do not do the same worK as the hoisting engineers at Drifton. They hoist about 70 cars of coal and rock together with 75 men on each shift, whereas the Drifton engineers hoist around 300 cars oi coal, 50 cars of rock and 250 men.

They are, therefore, not entitled to the Drifton rate and their grievance cannot be sustained. The Umpire, however, rules that the complainants should receive the $0.98 rate being paid at the No. 5 Slope. Should it develop in the future that the work of the complainants has increased, they aft not barred from reopening this grievance. It is so decided.

The respondent states that when it took over this Stockton Colliery in 1939, after it had been closed down for several jears, it paid the established rates and practices in effect 'SIX GUN GOSPEL with JOHNNY MACK BROWN, RAYMOND HATTON THAT FOR YOU, BENNY!

LOVE OF MAN! Complete text of the Umpire's decisions on the three grievances follow: Certain Engineers and Pumpmen of'Jeddo No. 5 Colliery vs.

Jeddo-Highland Coal Company. The complainant engineers and pumpmen claim that there is in existence a special agreement which permits them to be paid for five holidays each year when they do not work, among which is New Year's Day, and the respondent refused to pay them for a New Year's Day not worked according to the colliery custom. They were suspended on the night of December 80 until January 8, which, of course, included New Year's Day. The special agreement which forms the basis of this grievance is dated December 30, 1912, and reads, in part, as follows: "On New Year's, Memorial, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, an employee's service, if required, is to be given without extra compensation as over-time, but if off duty on such a day with permission, no deduction is made unless it is necessary to supply his shift with another man, in which case deduction is made at an aver-ge shift The respondent contends that because the complainants were idle more than four days that they were not entitled to be paid for days not worked because of the rulings of the Umpire in Grievance Nos. 3614 and S615 on this special agreement.

The single complainant witness to testify stated that he has always been paid for these legal holidays not worked during the 21 years that he has been a stationary engineer. The respondent witness, on the other hand, testified that the suspension in question was the only long suspension (of five or more days) in which the complainant were idle during a period that included a legal Mrs. Clay Observe' STARTS SUNDAY claetdele 53rd Anniversary Today COLBERT GODDARD LAKE!

The single complainant witness to testify stated that the sheet iron rate requested had been paid in other collieries of the Jeddo-High-laid Coal Company. He knew nothing of the former practices for sheet iron payment at this colliery.

The respondent witness was an assistant foreman at this colliery when operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. He testified that it was the practice to pay only for the first length of sheet iron in the main chute and for replacements, but not pay for all new sheet iron laid. It has been decided over and over again by different Umpires that col-leries are indepedent as to rates and practices, even when consolidated or merged. In Grievance No. 4368, a similar dispute from Maple Hill Colliery of the P.

and R. C. and I. Company was before the Board of Conciliation. Maple Hill, Ellan-gowan, and Suffolk were originally separate collieries with their own rate sheets and practices but were later merged.

The rates and practices for paying sheet iron at Maple Hill differed from those in effect at Ellangowan and Suffolk and the complainants in that grievance from Maple Hill petitioned for the high dality breakfast.

The rulings of the Umpire in Grievances Nos. 3614 and 3615 dealt with idle time, while the instant grievance is concerned with pay for a legal holiday, as provided for in the 1912 special agreement nd supported by an established practice. The record does not show that other engineers and pumpmen were employed to do the work of the complainants who were certainly "off duty on such a day with permission." Under the provision of the 1912 gpecial agreement quoted above, no deduction is made unless substitute engineers and pumpmen are supplied. The complainants, therefore, are entitled to pay for this New Year's Day. This grievance, accordingly, is ustained.

Phone 3189 hourly rate of $0.8536 was agreed upon for the electric hoist in question between union representatives and company officials. The complainants now are requesting the $0.98 rate paid at Drifton Colliery of the respondent on the grounds that their hoist and the hoist at Drifton Colliery are similar. The respondent admits that the work of the compainants has increased since a rate hoisting was agreed upon in December, 1941, but denies that it in in any way similar to the hoisting engineers at Drifton. It, accordingly, offered to apply the $0.98 rate paid at its No.
