National Mine Workers Plan Special Convention
Wilkes Barre reports a National Mine Workers of America call for a special convention in Indianapolis to decide on a nationwide coal strike. President Mitchell gave few details, with Wilson at Indianapolis coordinating the arrangements. The move aims to unite soft coal miners in the dispute with coal companies and may trigger a nationwide suspension impacting industry and railroads. There are about 450,000 US coal miners, with roughly 350,000 union-affiliated and 50,000 under mineral board rules. A major sticking point is the annual wage scale contracts, especially among western miners, complicating a broad strike.
