Uniform wage deal proposed for East Kootenay miners
Mine owners in Nelson and Ymir districts plan to raise the daily wage to 3.25 dollars with a one dollar board deduction. The move, confirmed by manager J R Robertson of London & British Columbia Gold Fields and Granite and Poorman mine captain Duncan, aims to standardize pay despite previous underpayments. If delayed or unsettled, development work may pause and pumps could be pulled if operations halt through the summer.
