Coal Operators Stand Firm in Wage Dispute With Miners
A seven member subcommittee of anthracite coal mine operators rejects miners proposed wage changes and demands arbitration by the Strike Commission for a three year period. They argue a sliding scale would raise coal prices by thirty six cents a ton, noting current profits average twenty cents per ton and no profit increase justifies higher wages. Continuous arbitration is rejected as impractical and the industry and public would be harmed.
