Mine No 3 Closed Halting Knoxville Coal Trade
The No 3 coal mine at the east city limits was shut down last Saturday after the Rock Island railroad refused to pay the Ramsays 15 cents more per ton. The coal firm offered 5 cents but could not meet rail demands, forcing many miners to consider moving to Chariton Allerton Tipperary and elsewhere. Merchants face hardship as local money circulates here. Some hope for a reopening this month, but optimism is scarce. Community Club urged to help resolve the dispute quickly.
