Coal Miners Plea for Lower Hours and Higher Pay
The anthracite mine workers present demands to the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. Key points seek a 20 percent wage rise from 1901 levels, shorter eight hour days, and a shift to payment by legal ton weight of 2240 pounds. They urge collective agreements, union representation, and better measures to curb child labor and unsafe conditions. The statement, drafted by John Mitchell, argues wages are below bituminous fields, costs of living are up, and child labor damages education.
