Strike Order Ineffective Across Lackawanna Coal Fields
The United Mine Workers eight hour strike order failed to widespreadly halt work in the Lackawanna region. About half the firemen quit, while engineers and pump-runners largely remained at posts. Some districts obeyed, others kept operations, and crews filled vacancies with nonunion workers. No serious violence occurred, and authorities reported orderly conditions amid scattered rumors of shootings.
