Soft coal miners win $90,000,000 wage settlement ends strike
Soft coal miners in the bituminous fields reach a $90,000,000 wage agreement ending a peaceful walkout of about 400,000 workers. The pact raises day rates, piece-work pay, and deadwork wages, with district differentials adjusted to improve operators’ market position. Officials hoped the accord would prevent unrest as President Roosevelt departed on a western trip. Observers note possible league mediation over Ethiopia tensions as France weighs sending a mission.
