Operators Offer Miners Half Their Demands
Coal operators in Washington DC offer raises for 400000 striking miners including a small wage increase for machine and day workers.

National coal shortages loom as talks stall and government officials monitor the crisis. Theodore Bazan Post No 6 holds a meeting at the Commercial Club with 1920 officer elections and a post-convention report for veterans.
