Miners Vote Against Vacation Protest in Susquehanna District
In Hazleton and nearby fields thousands of miners abstained from work to protest the wage award approved by President Wilson. One third of Hazleton operations shut down while many miners did not report. Union leaders say the action is not a strike but a protest to pressure price and policy changes. Delegates in Wilkes-Barre voted to refuse a vacation until demands are met, with only George Evang opposing.
