Coal Wage Dispute Stalls As Nations Eye Winter Prices
The coal wage talks between miners and operators fail to reach agreement amid demands for a $2 daily rise and a 10 cent per ton increase for picks and machines. The 27 percent tonnage increase awarded by the coal commission is not fully reflected in day workers' pay, while operators urge restraint to avoid higher coal prices for consumers. President Wilson urged honoring signed two year contracts, seeking only rectification of pay inequities without reopening the entire wage question.
