Twin Branch Mine Closure Tied to Fordson Officials’ Union Policy
Affidavits from Vestrom No. 6030 committee members allege Fordson Coal Company officials refused to recognize the United Mine Workers or district leaders. Workers struck on November 1 1933 over 64th cutbacks, sought talks with executives, and were told labor would not be recognized as a union. The committee claims hostile treatment continued, leading to the mine’s closure on January 16 after further warnings. The record cites statements by O. Skeen and L. C. Skeen about recognizing individuals rather than the union.

Swiss Cheese Makers Get Bacteria Cultures
Swiss cheese makers in seven states receive cultures of bacteria to produce starters for Swiss cheese. Bureau scientists found at least three bacteria types influence quality and flavor and can be controlled to timing. In 1932 Ohio plants used the cultures to produce 2.8 million pounds, adding about two cents per pound premium over non culture cheese, totaling roughly $46,000.

Senate debates bonds and war debt penalties in frontier measures
A Republican California senator led a resolution to bar Americata from buying bonds of nations behind on war debt payments, a move with penalties for violations affecting many nations. The Senate passed the measure amid administration objections as market actions and a stabilisation fund move into secrecy. House leaders paused civil works funding to avoid overspending, while plans emerged for a banking corporation to finance exports to Rug ia, South America and the Balkans and cattle grower relief parity with cotton producers. A House naval subcommittee was created to scrutinize plane contracts for excess profits, and a $45 million bill was noted in progress.
