Steel leaders seek to keep mines running amid defense strikes
Strikes continued as picket lines formed at scattered mines where non union and union workers ignored the call. U S Steel Bethlehem and Youngstown Sheet & Tube vowed to keep their collieries operating if possible. Benjamin Fairless said the firm would attempt to operate mines to maintain coal for national defense. Steel reps urged no requirement to join unions, stressing the right to work should not depend on union membership. Congress debated government takeover of defense plants during emergencies, with Senator Connally noting open or closed shop status would freeze under takeover. The House eyed curbs on defense strikes, while Roosevelt’s stance on the measure remained influential.
