Miners urged unity to defend jobs in Hocking and Sunday Creek
A coal company appeal urges miners to oppose strikes and back regular production in the Hocking and Sunday Creek Valleys. It argues wages are high there versus West Virginia and Kentucky and warns that disruption could lose markets, with production figures from Ohio and rival states cited to support unity and continued operation. The note is signed by The Sunday Creek Coal Co. Manhattan Coal Co. The Ohio Collieries Co. The Essex Coal Co.
