Mining settlement ends long labor dispute with wage scale
A new agreement signed by mine owners and Miners' Union representatives sets daily wages at 3.00 for carmen and shovelers and pledges non discrimination against older workers. The Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine operates under the new scale and more workers will come on next week, aiming for 250 to 300 by mid October. The Gem and Frisco will resume soon, with most leading mines expected to reopen within three weeks. The deal is seen as ending conflict and may yield about 1000000? The miners and merchants welcome the compromise. A separate report describes a fatal electric shock where a worker was killed instantly by a live wire, his brother narrowly saving another worker. The wire had been deactivated earlier in the day.
