Rise in Living Cost for Hard Coal Miners Doubles Wage
The cost of living in the anthracite mining regions rose about 93 percent since 1914 while mine workers wages advanced only about 49 percent. Figures from the miners at a subcommittee meeting show budget data, with a typical family of more than five needing $2,245.04 yearly for essentials, and no pensions. The miners demand a wage rise at least equal to the 27 percent awarded to bituminous miners, threatening to reject any contract unless operators grant a larger advance.
