Parley Aims to Avert Coal Strike With Union Check Off
The federal coal commission opened talks in New York on August 16 to prevent a September 1 anthracite strike. Miners demand a union dues check-off, arguing it binds operators to fund union efforts, while operators fear a war fund and potential closed shop. Thomas Kennedy says miners will strike without a new contract, with 120000 of 180000 miners union members ready to act. The conference proceeds with worker talks and later employer sessions. The piece notes the term muscular Christianity as an era phrase.
