Miners Submit Final Offer to Operators in Wage Plea
Two final propositions from President Mitchell and the General Scale Committee ask for wage increases largely benefiting breaker boys and unskilled workers, while preserving the 10 cent per ton production raise. If approved, coal costs to operators would rise about 10 cents per ton, with most gains going to younger and less skilled labor. A Scranton convention is planned to decide policy after mailing the proposals to President Baer and operator leaders.
