Collapse of 1924 Jacksonville coal compact agreement
The 1924 Jacksonville agreement between operators and the United Mine Workers failed to stabilize the bituminous coal industry. High wage scales and strict union conditions drove non union mines to cut wages or quit, while many union mines split from the pact.

The chaotic outcome discredits the compact's premise and leaves an unresolved industry future.
