Kennedy Says Miners Demands Justified Before WLB
Kennedy, secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers, told the War Labor Board that a 1.20 per day wage for anthracite miners is justified to retain manpower. He noted the union had proposed an overall 1.80 daily figure and argued higher pay, with benefits, is needed to match war industry wages and safety costs. Kennedy cited shortages and a plant in Scranton employing 4,000, plus 21,000 job applications, as evidence of labor demand and the need for higher wages and safer conditions.
