Operators and Miners Clash Over Coal Wage Demands
Central competitive field coal operators reject miners’ demand for 2 extra dollars daily for day and monthly men and ten cents a ton for pick and machine mining. Operators offer a partial increase aligning day and monthly wages with the coal commission award for pick miners. Miners reject the proposal and a joint sub committee, including UMWA leaders, meets to seek a settlement. The current wage scale, set by Wilson coal commission, runs until April 1, 1922.
