Strike Ties Up Mines in Wyoming Valley War
Wilkesbarre July 17 The second day of the stationary firemen strike has tied up nearly all Wyoming valley mines from Pittston to Nanticoke with about 43000 men out. Operators refuse concessions claiming a 20 percent wage push while miners report a 10 percent rise last fall. Water flooding and engine layoffs at Pine Ridge plc show fallout as strikers meet and United Mine Workers leaders back the strike though friction with firemen exists. Officials in Scranton say some firemen will be kept at work pending further notice.
