Back Pay Award Raises 18 Million for 175000 Miners
President Wilson approved the anthracite coal commission majority plan raising wages by 20 percent for contract miners and 17 percent for company men. The report fixes a minimum 52.5 cents per hour for the lower paid, retroactive to April 1, 1920, with about $18 million in back pay and total annual increases around $85 million for 175,000 miners, while maintaining no retail coal price hike. The retroactive feature drew opposition from the chairman of the miners scale committee, amid a pending joint meeting of miners and operators to apply the award.
