Great Anthracite Coal Strike (3 mayo 1902 año – 19 oct 1902 año)
Descripción:
United mine workers began to strike wanting better wages and conditions. As the winter of 1903 approached President Theodore Roosevelt became concerned that a heating crisis could develop and attempted to intervene – unsuccessfully. Industrialist and financier J.P. Morgan believed the strike could threaten his businesses and made a deal with the union. The UMWA’s initial demands were for a 20% wage increase. They wound up with a 10% raise.
