Coal Hearing Date Advanced by Five Days in Washington
Washington on August 3 reports that a five day delay was granted to the federal coal hearing on the industry trade code. The move follows strikes in Pennsylvania and concerns the coal field walkouts tied to company unions as United Mine Workers and AFL leaders oppose the code term about dealing with representatives of other employers. Frick Coke, a United States Steel subsidiary, led walkouts accusing the company of discharging workers for UMWA membership amid questions over a company union clause in the code proposals.
