Illinois miners weigh state wage pact amid Lewis ruling
Springfield March 4. Illinois Mine Workers President Farrington said an independent wage agreement offer by coal operators had not been refused and he would convene the executive board in St Louis next Wednesday. The International President John L. Lewis rejected any state agreement, warning a board vote could trigger a strike or internal rupture among about 90 000 Illinois miners. Radical leaders warn a breach could serve operator aims to split the union.
