Stand Pat on 1922 Jacksonville wage scale urged by miners
Miners delegates at the Ohio district 6 meeting in Columbus endorse a stand pat demand to renew the Jacksonville agreement of 1922 at the Indianapolis United Mine Workers convention. The wage resolution calls for 60 cents per ton, a night shift rate of 7.25 to 7.50, joint contracts, no backsliding, and ratification by members before signing with broader western district extension and a shorter work day. It also seeks Interstate Commerce Commission action against discriminatory rates south of the Ohio River.
