Wilkesbarre coal operators sharply critique miners strike actions
In Wilkesbarre discussions on the miners strike shift, a prominent coal operator says Saturday looked favorable for settlement but this mood faded. He notes the United Mine Workers activity in Schuylkill dampens negotiations and accuses strike leaders of a less cooperative spirit. Rumors of a 4.5 percent powder price cut are denied. if any cut occurs it will be uniform and set at about $1.50 per keg rather than $2.75. Operators say President Mitchell is aware of company plans but talks proceed not with the UMW directly, but via intermediaries.
