Miners Push for Higher Wages in New Wave of Strikes
United Mine Workers leaders and Southern operators faced renewed talks as district chiefs threatened work stoppages in the bituminous field. A $2 daily wage rise for 450,000 miners and a base rate of $8, plus double time on Sunday, were demanded before March 31 to avert a walkout on April 1. District voices warned of drastic actions if the contract isn’t signed, while some suggested miners may move to other industries without concessions. Major wartime stakes were cited as miners argued for their share of war-related labor rights.
