Compromise Offered To End Coal Mine Strike In Plight
Labor Secretary Schwellenbach in Washington proposed a new compromise to bituminous operators and United Mine Workers officials led by John L. Lewis. The aim is to end soft coal field strikes that idled about 182,000 workers in 749 mines, with steel mills shedding production and thousands of jobs affected nationwide. Longshoremen in New York tied up port activity as 35,000 to 60,000 workers stayed out, delaying cargo and troop movements and leaving 369 ships docked.
