Mass meeting of mine workers at Caponse and Avh streets
A large crowd gathered for a mass meeting of mine workers last evening at Caponse avenue and Avh street. District Organizer Courtright and National Organizer Dilcher urged operators to arbitrate with the miners and warned that a strike would be the operators' fault. Dilcher claimed rail unions would refuse to carry coal from non union mines if a strike occurred and warned that a ton of bituminous coal shipped into the valley could close the producing mine the next day. Hazleton convention begins at 10 o clock in Hagel hall with little indication of operator participation. The Lackawanna miners forming an independent union lessen strike fears locally compared with regions with heavier foreign worker involvement.
