Miners Wage Raise Proposal Denied by War Labor Board
The War Labor Board rejected the miners demand for a 1.50 daily wage increase, arguing a 12 to 41 hour week would be excessive. It proposed a 32 cent per hour raise if a 41 hour week is kept, while noting potential idle mines could trigger federal seizure. A strike vote was ordered by non-operating unions with 1.097 million members, set to return ballots by November, as the Brotherhoods seek 20 percent or $3 per day, with an emergency board already approving four cents an hour.
