Coal wage increase proposed to settle coal strike
Washington reports a 25 percent wage rise for bituminous coal miners in a majority commission plan under President Wilson. The raise would absorb the 14 percent earlier boost, yielding an 11 percent net increase with no change in hours or conditions. Miner representative John P Awe White favored more while a minority report is expected. In St Louis, Thomas Brewster warned higher wages could ruin coal prices if approved.
