Paint Creek coal field miners signed a new contract with the Paint Creek and Columbus Oil and Gas Company, ending a sixteen month strike. The agreement includes a union dues checkoff, forcing all employees to pay, though not all mines on Paint Creek accept it.

Pick miners average about 250 tons monthly, meaning roughly ten dollars less per month and about one hundred twenty dollars yearly, plus fourteen four dollars per year in dues, under the checkoff, enriching union officers instead of miners.
