Coal Miners End Strike with Pepper Reed Pact
Scranton Pa September 11 1902 the Pepper Reed agreement ending the anthracite strike was signed by operators and miners. Many collieries resumed work though repairs are needed and mining will lag. The suspension lasted 163 days and was not officially a strike. International President Lewis nearly broke down giving a stirring address urging adoption of the plan amid tears from delegates and miners. He spoke of suffering and hoped for a check off and an eight hour day, and prepared to return to his Springfield Tennessee family after the convention.
