Settlement talk looms as coal miners face wage disputes
Hazleton Pa Sept 28 The Associated Press reports President Mitchell believes mine operators may offer a 10 percent wage increase to strik ing soft coal workers. Mitchell withheld further comment and denied knowledge of a broader settlement. He sent orders to Central Pennsylvania workers to avoid loading coal for markets served by anthracite operators. The telegram targeted railroads loading bituminous coal to undercut the anthracite strike. Reports from New York on Hanna’s possible push for a settlement circulate amid talk of action. W B Wilson of the union said benefit payments to strikers likely will be reviewed by the national executive board soon.
