Strike Inevitable As 500000 Miners Quit At Midnight
Indianapolis observers report that mine workers chiefs declare a strike inevitable with more than 500000 coal miners to quit at 12 midnight. They demand a new wage scale, say operators block negotiations, and reject President Wilson’s stance while promising to stay ready to bargain if owners return to talks. Palmer announces government readiness to act to protect people and industries.
