Swanger, commissioner of the U S Conciliation Service, Washington, D. C. A meeting at City Hall, Middleport, attempted to iron out differences. 422 miners of 458 working in the Bend are union affiliates. a certified notice posted June 26 warned of a 30 day strike if wage increases were not agreed. The operation group argued wages rose only as a perceived bonus amid requests for higher coal prices. A wage rise since wartime was about 1.85 a day, with no recent contracts since the UMW strike. Commissioner Swanger expected a decision in a few days. Minnie Hawthorne vs Pearl Hawthorne divorce action dismissed in Meigs County.
