The Coal Situation and Possible Wage Increases
The article discusses a probable strike among anthracite miners, the impact on bituminous wages, and the operators' stance. Anthracite demands include higher pay and an eight hour day, while operators refuse these demands. A prolonged strike could push bituminous miners to seek a 5 to 12 percent wage increase as a later effect of anthracite disruption.

Officers may be granted immunity as individuals but must provide evidence to convict the corporations involved. Individualists may claim self incrimination protection, but corporations are not immune.
