Dividing the Advance in Scranton Coal Strike
In Scranton Pennsylvania on October 7 a convention considers a 10 percent wage advance for miners and laborers. The article explains miners paying laborers from earnings, averaging $1.75 daily, leaving about $2.30 for the miner. A 10 percent rise gives the miner 63 cents daily, laborers seek 18 cents, leaving the miner with 45 cents. If two laborers are employed the miner’s share shrinks to roughly seven percent. Uncertainty persists on how to interpret the offer.
