Miners to Face Fines After June Walkout and Break in Talks
Secretary Ickes announced fines for miners who joined the June 3 to 7 walkout from government pits, penalties totaling to one dollar per day per contract terms. About 530,000 United Mine Workers were affected, with fines of five dollars for the five days, to be deducted from the next pay and given to charities. A separate Central Pennsylvania Producers Association deal with the UMWA granted a wage boost of 1.30 a day for underground travel time, widening the rift in wage negotiations as the War Labor Board reopened hearings today.
