Hazleton Strikes Deepen as Workers Idle in Anthracite
Hazleton Pa September 29 The second day of the anthracite coal strike failed to yield progress toward talks between operators and striking miners. About 6 000 additional workers joined the idle ranks, bringing total idled to 118 000. President Mitchell predicts the number at work will shrink daily as more miners join the stoppage. No side shows readiness to negotiate and a third party may be needed to bridge the gap. Minor incidents occur, including arrests and a reported attempted intimidation near Hazleton, while operators claim they will not hire replacements or import workers.
