Reading Case Opened On Pay By Yard In Schuylkill Region
The coal strike commission heard Reading company witnesses describe pay by the running yard and weighings in the Schuylkill district as practical. Miners in lower fields would likely not accept weight payments, while daily wages averaged 233 dollars for company miners with monthly allowances to boost pay.
