Nine Thousand Miners Strike Hits Pennsylvania Collieries
Nine thousand miners walked off in nine large Pennsylvania anthracite fields over a 1 50 cent monthly union wage increase. The strike, condemned by the United Mine Workers, halted operations at seven collieries and curbed activity at two others. In 1941 Lazerne County produced 8 million of the 20 million tons mined that year as war needs boosted production. The UMW had approved a 41 to 50 cent increase at a convention last October amid protests.
