June 1902 CE

The maintenance employees, who have much steadier jobs and do not face the special dangers of underground work, walk out on June 2. 

The union has the support of roughly eighty percent of the workers in this area, or more than 100,000 strikers.

Some 30,000 leave the region, many headed for Midwestern bituminous mines; 10,000 men return to Europe.
