Miners to Receive Wage Increases Across Regions
Northern Coals Inc. recommended restoring pre January wage scales, prompting pay boosts for about 5,000 miners in Cambridge and St Clairville. A $1 per cent raise to four mines and a 10 percent rise for roughly 4,000 western Ohio miners were announced, aiming to raise basic pay from 2.62 to 3.29 dollars. The action, if accepted by operators, reflects a 16 to 30 percent potential rise in precent pay amid improved industrial conditions. Northern Coals, Inc. represents 75 paying towns and stakes in three regions.
