An image of the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer, September 30, 1900, with headlines announcing the end of the Coal Strike of 1900:
STRIKE’S END EXPECTED ON TUESDAY
Probable concessions by the Operators Are Such as to Constitute a Victory for the Men, who are Likely to Ratify the Settlement at a Huge Convention of Miners to Take Place at Wilkes-Barre on October 2 – Troops to Begin Homeward Journey from Shenandoah To-morrow – Other Collieries Closing.
_______________________________________________
PROBABLE TERMS ON WHICH THE GREAT STRIKE IS LIKELY TO COME TO AN END ON TUESDAY
A ten-percent increase of wages, not on a sliding scale, but on a fixed basis.
This fixed basis is one of the chief claims of the strikers. The increase will apply to the entire anthracite region, and refers to every employ about the mines. The price of powder will be reduced at least five per cent.
