Miners Strike Pain and Poverty in Anthracite Coal Region
A New York Journal report from the Wilkes-Barre area portrays a miner's testimony amid a looming strike. He cites rising costs, stagnant wages, and family hardship as trusts raise food and fuel prices while miners struggle to feed their households. He notes about 1,000 miners in his mine with only 22 voting against striking. The piece contrasts trust wealth with a starving dinner pail, documenting price hikes across staples and a broader national strain.
