Miners Starve While Striking Across Indiana Fields
Indiana coal fields face severe hardship as about 8000 miners, nearly 90 percent of workers, strike and endure extreme hunger. In Clay county 2500 brick coal miners are out with Brazil opening a commissariat to feed them. Fontanet reports the worst conditions with one meal daily. Evansville-area mines run briefly, while Parke county sees growing unrest. Pay down to 47 cents in Fontanet, far below the state scale, prompting Governor Mount to assemble a citizen inquiry. State Mine Inspector Fisher notes very few working days in six months across black coal district, averaging about 40 days. Miners are seen as coming out sure.
