Governor Sproul Refuses Coal Strike Withdrawal Stance
Pennsylvania Governor Sproul said he will not withdraw National Guard troops from the coal fields until the strike is fully settled. He noted the Cleveland agreement affects only about ten percent of Pennsylvania mines, with thirty percent currently operating. Approximately 300 000 tons of coal will be moved to lake ports this week and 400 000 tons next week to relieve fuel shortages in the middle west. An early wage settlement appeared likely in the southwestern fields after a telegram from mine union heads to the Southern Interstate Coal Operators Association requesting a conference next Tuesday. In Belmont County Ohio only one mine is active, with forty set to resume, and Lorain Coal and Dock Co began cutting coal today.
