Coal famine closes Chicago industries and cuts rail service
Chicago faces mass layoffs as thousands of small industries shut down and a six day workweek is adopted amid a coal shortage. Rail passenger service on north, west and northwest Chicago lines will be cut by one third starting Monday. In Washington, miners win a wage increase higher than the proposed 14 percent, with pay per ton rising for thin vein and machine mining. Six leaders of the United Mine Workers surrender in Indianapolis on contempt charges tied to a court injunction against the strike.
