Miners Walk Out in Hazleton Demand Equal Work Time
In Hazleton Pennsylvania on August 18, fourteen hundred miners strike at two anthracite collieries after appeals by unemployed workers. A motorcade to Cranberry colliery leads to a forced strike proclaimed by A Walbridge, with 800 men leaving work and a mass meeting planned in Mahonoy City. Earlier 600 miners joined from Taska Williams Alliance pit, demanding equal work time across Lehigh Navigation Coal Company mines, an idea officials said impossible due to specific orders.
