A Knotty Problem in Miners Union Representation
The Interstate Commerce Commission began hearings on the anthracite strike with full party representation. Mitchell, for the miners, urged a union representation while Baer contested his status. The panel planned mine and home inspections starting near Scranton, with potential wage and hour changes debated and an accounting audit option raised for later use. Judge Gray outlined the procedure as statements from the miners followed by operators. Wu Ting Fang, China’s envoy to the U.S., has been recalled to Beijing by imperial edict.
