Wage Fight Over Mine Pay and Hours Sparks Debate
Operators and miners agreed to refer wage and hour negotiations to a joint committee in New York. The United Mine Workers seek a 30 hour week, 15 percent pay rise, and a $1 200 guaranteed annual income, while operators warn the cost could add at least 270 million dollars yearly. The dispute centers on Appalachian region mines producing about two thirds of soft coal, with mule driver pay and tonnage rates under review.
