Miners and Operators Reach Tentative Accord in Coal Strike Talks
In Towan and the mine operators conference both sides reported no further proposals and a strike on April 1 seemed likely. About 12 000 to 14 000 miners in the state, all United Mine Workers, held back until a joint convention reported a compromise on shot firers and scale issues. Despite concessions by operators on the 1802 1808 scale, miners pressed for shot firers to be employed, either by operators or at miners expense, with shots limited to once daily. The convention reported an agreement but miners, after a morning of discussion, deferred final judgment and were not expected to order a strike.
