Government intervention only means staving off strike in anthracite coal districts
Atlantic City July 27. Refusal by anthracite operators to grant the United Mine Workers demand for a check-off dues system led to the sudden collapse of contract negotiations. The eight member joint committee adjourned sine die after bitter exchanges, with no sign of resumed talks. The union would not submit to arbitration, leaving government intervention as the only possible peace agency amid threats of a September strike. Operators rejected complete recognition including the closed shop and check-off.
