Miners' strike bites in coal region as trains regroup
Meetings across the county draw large turnout. United Mine Workers predict no work tomorrow with few reporting. Operators aim to keep some mines running by concentrating efforts at a single mine. Vice Grand Master Fitzpatrick of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen spoke at Parsons and organized a local lodge. He plans more lodge formations to back miners. Leaders of the union expect railroads to back them if coal is moved into the anthracite region during the stoppage. Fitzpatrick did not specify if a wider strike would follow if railroads ship soft coal into the Wyoming Valley.
