Negotiators for 300 unionized mine workers at Tamaqua, Pa., and Bethlehem Mines have agreed to a tentative contract in a five-week strike that has idled two other companies mining anthracite, or hard coal, officials said. The agreement will be presented to members of the United Mine Workers today with a vote planned for Tuesday, said Local 4004 President John Chinchar. The development does not affect 350 workers striking at Blaschak Coal Co. of Mahanoy City or the Reading Anthracite Co. of Pottsville. Neither side would divulge contents of the agreement.
