Independent Coal Men Seek Recognition in Settlement Talks
In Scranton on November 23 independent coal operators from about twenty six companies met to decide how to respond to a tentative agreement between large coal firms and miners. A nine member committee will travel to New York to meet railroad presidents and push for concessions alongside any wage increase. Independent operators seek fair compensation if miners gain higher wages and worry large firms could raise consumer coal prices. The independents now control about 15 percent of output, down from 25 percent in 1900, and expect further consolidation by large firms. Negotiations with the Strike Commission remain pending, with possible new collective bargaining schemes explored.
