Conferees Meet Today Over Illinois Coal Wage Crisis
Chicago June 23. Leaders of operators and miners met again in a bid to agree on wage scales amid a historic crisis in Illinois bituminous coal. Statistician F C Honnold reported that six year production fell by 20 million tons annually, with losses absorbed by non unionized fields in other states. He noted Illinois coal sells below production cost and faces lower prices than western Kentucky coal, while Chicago’s vast switching district once depended on Illinois coal. He warned wage hikes could further shrink production and cited labor taking seventy cents of every dollar in Illinois coal output.
