Truce Prevents National Strike by Bituminous Miners
A last minute agreement between United Mine Workers of America and bituminous coal operators, urged by the NRA code board, extends the industry pact to June 16 and keeps 400,000 miners at work while negotiations continue. John L. Lewis states the action does not drop the wage or 80-hour week demands. The plan aims to stabilize industry and allow Congress to act on NRA extension and wage reforms.
