Wyoming miners strike shuts all state mines
About ten thousand miners in Wyoming are idle after mine owners cut wages from 10 to 15 cents per day. A conference in this city failed to reach an agreement, and all principal Wyoming mines including Rock Springs Cumberland Hanna Superior Kemmerer Oakley Diamondville and others halted operations under the Mine Operators association. The daily wage dispute centers on roughly twenty thousand dollars in wages and the strike began Monday night as miners took home their tools.
