Indiana Mine Strike Costs Foreseeable Losses
The Terre Haute Star reports Indiana mine workers have lost over 1,000,000 in wages and time during the strike, not counting the first four weeks of shutdown. P. H. Penna of the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators Association estimates a total wage loss of about 600,000 if mines ran half-time in May, with more losses possible from April and lost trade to other fields totaling around 300,000 tons annually. Operators faced substantial, hard-to-quantify losses in tonnage and contract prospects as a two-year negotiating period looms.
